    Turkey breast only: 9.4 lbs.

    Soaked it in a buttermilk marinade last night: buttermilk, soy sauce, pepper flakes, chopped garlic, chopped ginger, ground pepper.

    I'll cook the breast tomorrow with a honey/butter/vermouth glaze with a few rosemary sprigs thrown in for good measure.

    Turkey is the worst part of thanksgiving dinner, everyone just slathers it in gravy and chokes it down

    If you're going to deep fry it, thats fine. Best way to cook it, otherwise skip it and focus on more sides.

    Deep fried way to go
    Need a lot of prep work and time
    Did it twice.
    Worth It if you got the extra time to prepare

    Best side is stuffing
    Better than any potato or veg casserole
    Stuffing is where you kill it on turkey day
    Gravy close 2

    I knew Sammy was sharp enough to get it!!

    Far as turkey I don't have a clue. We having at my brothers this year and he smoking I'm sure a sizable bird. All I gotta bring pregame snacks, probably some baileys for morning coffee, and some type of beer.

    Think I'm gonna try and bake a pie also tho! Banker a amazing cook but has just started experimenting with baking, made some incredible corn bread to go with chili today.

    Deep fried is freaking good tho!

    I've tried about every way to cook a bird, even cooked one upside down once, fukked up skin but made the breast meat incredibly juicy!

    Have to say smoked right is my fav but takes forever, my brother the meat smoker in the family (lmao).

    In order to deep fry
    Gotta get proper equip
    Need to be outside
    Can not attempt this inside
    Need a large surface area of heat and a large bucket
    This not to be taken lightly
    Hang the bird on a hanger and submerge into hot oil for 2 hours.
