How can I relieve the tedium of cooking this boring bird next week?
I thought maybe I’d dig a hole in the yard & line with smooth stones, add burning wood for several hours, rake out the ashes and replace with turkey wrapped in taro leaves & with pineapple stuffed in its cloaca, and cover with stones until the next day.
Any other ideas?
Baste it well.
Wrap in aluminum foil.
Open car hood.
Place on engine.
Drive 1000 miles.
Enjoy.

Napalm?
Several large parabolic mirrors?
Seriously I’d go with the original idea.

Fry it. Seriously, this is not a joke.
I thought fried turkey would be awful…Until I tried it last year. I was pleasently surprised.

For me, noting says Thanksgiving like Enchiladas. Try making turkey enchiladas. Warning: this idea just occured to me and I have no recipe and accept no responsibility for the outcome
I vote for deep-frying. They sell a kit with a huge pot, a rack to lower the bird in, and usually some thick gloves. Deep-fried turkey, if you do it correctly, is not greasy, and the meat is juicy and delicious. And it takes hardly any time (3-3.5 minutes per pound) at all! Good eats all around.
I have to agree with frying the bird. Best Turkey Ever. However, be very careful, as the risk of fire is high. Definitely to be done outside in open area.
Angie & I have been invited over to have dinner with a friend. Next year, if the weather’s nice enough, I’m going to pester Angie to let me use our smoker. That’s a huge “if” though.
