Happy Thanksgiving to all. I am cooking a 25 lb tom I processed 2 days ago. Got the birds in August so they are not too big. One year I had a 34 lb tom that almost did not fit in the oven. Ran the splitter yesterday with some Star tron and Sea foam to winterize it. Couldn't remember if the gas in it was treated or not. I'm sure it was but why chance it.

yesterday, as I was prepping my 13# bird... I thought about a 22#'r... remember doing one few years back. big bird! 34 #'s wow... chow for a year! lol. or a big gathering... took rest of bird apart and made a pot of turkey soup. :D

Have you guys tried roasting the bird breast side down? I’ve heard that’s the best way.

I haven’t done a whole bird but did a partial bird that had just had stuffed cavity and breasts and it was awesome. Ironically it took longer to get the stuffing to temp than it did for the breasts meat.
 
They are predicting snow all day Sunday + Monday, with high temps for both days right at freezing.

Already have the Blizzacks on the F-150 and the Mustang, guess it is time to put the plow on the ATV.

^:yes:^ Ding ding ding .... 3rd season Blizzaks on rims I'm throwing on wifey's car tomorrow. F-150 has AT's with loads of tread. Positioning ATV for fast hitch to plow. Wood stove running 24/7.

Bring it on - Let winter begin! :dancing:
 
Me and the boss have had that argument a few times. We always called it filling growing up. She's from the Midwest and calls it dressing. I just want some smothered in gravy.
Interesting.

Stuffing goes in the bird. Dressing is cooked in a separate pan.

As long as there’s lots of butter, celery, and giblets in it, I’ll eat it all. Lol.

Giblets are for the cats!! :crazy2:
We put some in the bird and some in a pan. :laugh:
 
2nd load from a black locust tree that fell on the road from the big winds we had. It was state land and the county came and moved it to the road side. So i helped out and got it out of the ditch. Not sure if that was legal. Michigan used to require a permit to get fallen trees of state land....

i need some stake pocket walls for this thing. Maybe just the hight of one 2x12 tall.

Turkey is OK, but I had Venison Backstrap (rare) for dinner tonight … now that is REAL FOOD!!!

Grilled of course … but I cheated and used the propane gas grill … it taste a little better when I do it upstate over Black Cherry … but the wife prefers the gas!

It is Very Good either way, and this year I have two sets of backstrap to consume!!!
