    Cooking a Turkey

    Hey fellas It Thanksgiving up' n over here today.
    A popular way to cook a turkey here is deep frying it.

    Read danger! Besides fire scares the cap out of me!

    A mate of mine set fire to his garage a few years ago doing just this very same thing- he ignored the rules!
    I use peanut oil for this but as you will see the bloke in the clip in England is using cooking oil--well they both can go up in a spectacular ball of flames and ruin your day if you are not careful!

    So if you are tempted now or in the future here's the safe method. His bird is a bit small at best on this side are about 16lbs from the supermarket.

    Happy Thanksgiving Dennis! I Have done birds in oven, charcoal, "trash can style", deep fry. I have also spitted the bird on charcoal and in a gas BBQ. They al tasted good, but my favorites are spitting or deep frying. Seasoning and basting works wonders in all bird dishes.

    Cheers!

    My aunt when growing up use to raise her own turkeys for thanksgiving / christmas. Her record is 40+lbs for a bird (she had 5 kids to feed), it had to be cut in half to fit in her oven. Even at that size it was still tasty.
    Webers are a great way to cook meat.

    Or you could cook it this way.

    TURKEY WITH POPCORN STUFFING RECIPE

    I thought this sounded good! Here is a turkey recipe that also includes the use of popcorn as a stuffing ingredient - imagine that! When I found this recipe, I thought it was perfect for people like me, who just are not sure how to tell when the turkey is thoroughly cooked, but not dried out. Give this a try.

    10-15 lb. Turkey
    1 cup melted butter
    1 cup stuffing
    1 cup un-popped popcorn
    Salt/pepper to taste

    -Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush turkey well with melted butter, salt, and pepper.

    -Fill cavity with stuffing and popcorn. Place in baking pan making sure the neck end is toward the front of the oven, not the back.

    -After about four hours, listen for the popping sounds.

    -When the turkey's arse blows the oven door open and the bird flies across the room... it's done.
