Just a heads up if you have never heard about them Greenbreg Smoke turkeys are the best I have ever had. Even Oprah Winfrey said it was the best smoked turkey she has ever eaten. You can order them online. https://www.gobblegobble.com/

I'm going to check it out... I think we may be doing between twenty and thirty this year.... We get quite a few donated and.... I'm buying two every day on amazon fresh...lol.... That's the limit...
That's the best way to cook a whole bird.
Deep fried?
Butterflied.
spatchcocking is less about how you heat it, but how you prep it. to allow the white meat and dark meat to cook uniformly
I don't deep fry things though.
The slash the breast and thighs and deeply insert their spices deeply into the meat. I used to smoke turkeys or turkey breast every year to go along with a standard roast turkey. We have very large family TG dinners with 25 to 30 people. I just order a Greenberg to go along with the regular roast turkey now. I suggest you order one and do a taste test.
Roasting breast down then flipping half way through works very well too.
all gimmicks still destined to be less moist white meat. pass
I always watch the grocery store specials for free turkeys with a certain amount purchase.I'm going to check it out... I think we may be doing between twenty and thirty this year.... We get quite a few donated and.... I'm buying two every day on amazon fresh...lol.... That's the limit...
Your loss
Also a good way.
not really. buying someone else's cooked bird that is mailed to me is more of a gain to meYour loss
200,000 turkeys a year can't be all wrong
It would be. But you do you.

The specials have started early this year though I was surprised to see that... But pleased... There are so many good sales this year...( That smoked turkey website looks amazing....)I received on as a professional gift several years back and have been eating them every since. Central Market the very highest end food store around exclusively carries Greenbergs as their smoked turkeys. Buy I generally order one to my front door. As I said Oprah said it was the best she has ever eaten. She is a better food critic than a political critic. But I bet she has never eaten a world famous Zymurgy smoked turkey.
