Don't get me wrong bro...........i LOVE ham but turkey is traditional and mama want's turkey!

Nothing against smoking turkey but there is NOTHING in this whole world better than fried turkey skin!!!

Besides, i'm done with my fried turkey in a 1/4 of the time you have to smoke one...........miss less football!!

My mom is having surgery a short time before Thanksgiving so I volunteered to do the meat for the family dinner. I am planning on turkey, but I haven't done a turkey before so I am stockpiling pulled pork and a few racks of ribs in the freezer "just in case".

I smoked a 12# earlier this week. Mesquite & Pecan. Bought a 14# today. Not sure of how I want to do this one. I have the equip. to fry it ... or smoke this one also. It definately won't be in the oven.

actually gonna have 1 smoked and deep fried, i think the XYL is going to do 1 in the oven for some stuffing...also planing on smoking some pork loins and might try deep frying 1 of those too

I am sorry to hear of that action.

It appears that someone disagrees with you on the ham. That was no excuse to give you bad points. I will give you good ones, as I think you started a good thread.

as my cowboys always play on thanksgiving... i'm ordering pizza. NOT!!!!!
i'm going to get up early smoke a bird & fall asleep right after the game.

 

[gypsyseagod]

oh yeah... plus w/ oil prices over $93 a barrel who can afford to fry a turkey....

I will be smoking a medium sized gobbler, and doing one in the countertop Turkey Roaster as well. We should be having two waves of meals at our house so this will be perfect for us. I cant wait to try the smoked one!

 

[glued2it]

Are you frying in crude? We usually use peanut oil. $7.99 a gal

For the past 3-4 years we did one in the oven and one in the Deep Fryer.. I LOVE Fried Turkey..
But having the day off for the 1st time in about 10 years I was thinking of smoking one instead of the deep fryer.
The wife has to have one cooking in the oven for the SMELL...
