We had a delayed Thanksgiving this year due to parental overlap And being close to our kids and their step dad is also near. No biggie.
I was volunteered to smoke a whole turkey, which I have never done. We normally only smoke a turkey breast because we dont like the dark meat on turkeys. I was going to give it a try-first try for family-which I was 50/50 on the idea. Concerned my first whole turkey would be a flop for fam…. Couple days before the day I got a little cold bug and used that to skip the smoke. The baked turkey was ok. And I remembered why we stopped making these. The wife wanted a whole one…no idea why. Hopefully next year we can skip that. Overall a great family gathering. Our first Thanksgiving with our youngest and her husband! Drank all day, cooked together all day, ate too much, laughed and torn it up
