spritz a pile of pillows and blankets with hard alcohol or beer (both is best) and arrange them in the shape of a person on the recliner and you can pretend its your drunk step dad. hide a recording of slurs inside of it for added realism!

Whether you smoke the turkey or deep fry the turkey, the main thing is that you get to use the oven for other dishes instead of having a turkey in it for 3 hours.

Green bean casserole rules. My mom is getting a bit older so each of us kids brings a dish now. Not to toot my own horn but I'm pretty awesome at making dressing.

The best part of thanksgiving dinners is the turducken +/- ham gumbo you can make with all the leftovers. Is gumbo an innate plural? Gumboes? Gumboi?

I love green bean casserole and I'm even making it and bringing it to the family gathering. I even make it outside of Thanksgiving. It's me, I'm the one with terrible taste. You don't even have to worry about making an expensive or good dish if you call the green beans early.

Pumpkin pie is an F tier dessert. Pumpkin cheesecake, however, is S tier. https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ree-drummond/pumpkin-gingersnap-cheesecake-3166868

A buddy that works in a brewery told me that the Wednesday night before Thanksgiving is the biggest bar night of the year. Which stuns me, cuz that should be the biggest food prep night of the year. Who the gently caress has time to go to a bar when 9 dishes need prepping!?

Precooked spiral cut hams are always easier to prepare and cut. If you have russet potatoes and milk and butter there is your side dish. Corn and butter with rolls to even it out. What is missing is the booze quotient.

Who the gently caress has time to go to a bar when 9 dishes need prepping!? gotta avoid family/hang out with the family. the people cooking will just drink at home. I knew someone who had a very particular midlife crisis that involved them going out every night for over a year. it was only then that I learned there's always a bar open on Easter (if there are Sunday sales), Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and Christmas, for people who don't have a better place to be or don't want to go there.

They sell parchment bags that you put the turkey in while cooking and it helps keep the turkey moist.

neato burrito posted:Wet brine is THE answer for those of us who aren't as culinarily (is that a word?) adept. Just buy a grocery store brine kit and bathe the THAWED bird for at least twelve hours. Ensure complete coverage. Rinse well, stick a thermometer into the thicc breast and cook at 325F until it hits 165F. Remove from oven, let sit for at least half an hour before serving. Stupid easy, you don't have to worry about basting, what side goes up, burning down your house, stuffing, weight to cooking time ratios; none of that. I've tried all other non-bbq / non-frying methods and it is hands down the best. Throw in a few extra sprigs of rosemary for extra goodness. Most frozen grocery store birds are gonna be brined already, usually via injection to help plump up the weight. Even if it doesn't say it was brined on the bag check the nutrition label, odds are you're gonna see salt cause they bagged it in a brine and/or injected it with a salt solution. Brining these again can actually make them taste worse and mess with their texture, so be careful. I would say regardless tho "dry brines" aka just seasoning something the day before you cook it, works way better in my experience. The reason for this is aside from the flavors it imparts, the salt pulls moisture out of the meat, which helps it cook more evenly at lower temps without loosing the juicyness. Now you might see "pulls moisture out" and "retains juicyness" as conflicting terms, but the juicyness in food isn't water it's myoglobin and such, meat juice, water just stalls cooktimes when it evaporates off the meat and ends up making you have to cook longer or at higher temps which is a quick way to ruin something like breast meat on poultry. If you have a standard frozen grocery store turkey that's been prebrined, you probably don't want to add more salt by dry brining it, but you can still pull it out of the bag, pat it down with paper towels, and let it air dry on a roasting pan the day/night before to help reduce excess water. Otherwise you're absolutely right just measure temp well and pull it when it's done, don't faff around with trying to time it you'll certainly end up erring on the safer side and overcook it. I'd recommend going lower than that though, if you have the time go as low as possible, I've done an overnight smoke with a bird and it came out amazing, but you can also just wake up early, toss a bird in the oven at 250, and cook it all day.

ArbitraryC posted:You should try snagging a small bird and cooking it yourself. Turkey is good and cheap meat around thanksgiving and giving you a few tries on your own where you don't run the risk of ruining a turkey for other people is great. I started cooking turkeys in grad school because it was cheap protein and the practice was good when I eventually started cooking thanksgiving dinner for other people. That is a good idea! My parents never cooked and I never learned, but it’s gotten to a point of embarrassment now that I’m older.
