Best Part of Thanksgiving Dinner

[mmedeac]

The best part is definitely not the process of picking the pieces of turkey off the carcass for leftovers! Messiest job of the year!

How was everyone's Thanksgiving?

Best thing since new pussy.

I change my vote to the Thanksgiving Leftovers Meal. Same thing as Thanksgiving, but without a whole day of prep! Just nommed a whole plate of turkey/stuffing/green beans/cranberry relish and it was awesome.

Had an awesome turkey/ham/dressing/gravy/cranberry sauce on toasted bread sandwich today. Quite tasty.

Today is ribs in the smoker for dinner. We brined a turkey and smoked it Thursday, smoked salmon and grilled steaks yesterday, and are having ribs today. I love this weekend.

I have to figure a way to take over turkey duty from my mom so I can either fry or smoke it. Standard oven roasted turkey is just not that good. Maybe next year I can get her to try a "heirloom" turkey instead of the bland butterball.

It can be - try to get her to brine the turkey for a day or so. There are lots of roast turkey recipes that turn out really well (and still moist).

Yep, this is the one I use. His brine is great and the method of cooking it on high for the first 30 minutes really crisps the skin and locks in the juice.
