Guys, I already had a thanksgiving this year(two weeks ago (thanks divorce!)). So, I am basically a time traveler. Post any questions about what the future of 2015 thanksgiving may hold for you ITT, and I may get back to you before tomorrow.
lil CF3 is hoping there's some star wars stuff in the parade, is there?

Because of a funeral I will have the first ever in my life single place thanksgiving. Not sure what to thinkI'm not sure what this means but if it means what I'm guessing then I don't understand what requires thought here.

I mean my entire holiday life time has been spent trying to appease both parties, like what do I feel when I only have to appease one. It's just weird

I think I mention this every year but I dislike almost all thanksgiving food. potatoes are ok but turkey gravy is the lowest form of gravy. that said I can cook the living crap out of it maxing out its potential.
If i'm being honest, all gravy is pretty gross. I mean, its fine I guess, but it just seems completely unnecessary. Even the word gravy is pretty gross.

Same. I'm going to make turkey soup this year with leftovers. I also smoke a whole or half ham every holiday. Then I strip it and take the bone and simmer for a couple of hours to make a broth for amazing ham bone soup. Its delish.

Good work today guys. Do the work today to be gracious. Gratitude is about recognizing the gifts given to you by God (or whatever you believe in) and refusing to base your life around complaining, coveting, and comparing. We all have gifts we don’t deserve and didn’t earn. Count your blessings and be thankful. I’m blessed beyond belief and y’all are too. Cheers.:cheers:
Go Cats.

I was 50/50 on whether or not to spatchcock but when I saw AST did I immediately felt validatedMore consistent cook time for white & dark meat along with ~1/2 the cook time. Really no reason not to spatchcock a turkey unless you are actively trying to make the cook last longer to avoid family.

You’ll have to let me know what products and in what combination you used them bc we tried re-painting and sealing a table a couple years ago and after several coats of polyurethane you wouldn’t even know we attempted to protect it. Finally just had to put a tablecloth on it
Have no idea. Was like 7 years ago that it was sealed with an acrylic sealer and have not had any issues.

gE FLASH POLL:
Do you guys call it stuffing or dressing?
Conducted my own straw poll over the holiday. I do think "stuffing" is a Midwestern thing, and it's what I always called it growing up. But if you're not actually stuffing it in the bird (and you should not, for reasons great and small), then why call it stuffing? I've come to the conclusion that "dressing" is the appropriate term when prepared in a casserole style. It's been a real mental battle for me, but it's a struggle I must endure, as I am charged with making the dressing every year.

I think we call it stuffing because that's what the Stove Top box calls it.
Yes, I believe there is some merit to that point. I thought about bringing that up, but I didn't want to admit that I'd ever tried that affront to proper culinary art.

I have slowly taken over more and more cooking from my parents' generation. This year in charge of making the turkey, gravy, dressing, sweet potatoes, mac n chee, and pumpkin pie. Fun but a lot of work. Turkey is brined and resting in the fridge, i'll prep it tonight. I'll get up early to make the mac, might make the sweet pots before bed tonight.
My parents are terrible cooks and as soon as the grandparents got too old I took over....First thing on the docket? Remove the turkey and replace it with Cornish game hens. I can't stand turkey.
I started out putting one on each plate but eventually moved to slicing them up and putting them all on a big platter where you could grab slices to put on your plate.

I've got a full set of that with gravy boats, small plates, platters etc etc for 12 people. Stupid grandparents should of just put that money in an Index fund, what were they thinking?!

Dry-brined, spatchcocked, smoke tomorrow. A work customer gives me a 50 lb sack of Idaho spuds every Nov. Huge pot of mashed taters incoming followed by a month of whatever potato food we can dream up. And of course the family tradition sour cream raisin pie made this evening. The meringue turned out :love: this year. Wife and kids hate it, so I eat it by myself all weekend.
My favorite pie. The only thing that I hate is I can only get it from a few family members since I can never find it where they sell pies. :frown:

Dark meat on a turkey is good, light meat is trash.Not if it's cooked right. (Dark meat is always better but white meat can be very good)

Are you referring to turkey on the dinner table or turkeys on this board?

I finally grew up and carved without that dumb electric knife thing my dad always used and I thought you had to use. Way better carving outcome.I made that same discovery this year.

All the leftover sides with a ribeye this evening.
Two solid meals today.
Post by: Stevesie60 on December 01, 2024, 09:27:33 PM
Thanksgiving 1: Ribeyes
Thanksgiving 2: Sausage and brisket
Thanksgiving 3: Duck
And all of them had the normal Thanksgiving sides.
Do you think turkey is served at 50% of Thanksgivings celebrations 10 years from now? Seems like more and more families are skipping it.
Post by: michigancat on December 01, 2024, 09:42:25 PM
3 Thanksgiving meals down, zero turkey had.I think the younger generations will bring it back because they seem to know more about cooking. I saw a ton of spatchcocked turkeys on IG friendsgivings which imo is a sign that younger folks are cooking better turkey than their parents and makes me think it isn't going away too soon

The reason a lot of people hate turkey is because their mom just plopped one in the oven and cooked the taste right out of it.
I am also all for alternatives to turkey.
Post by: mocat on December 02, 2024, 10:19:08 AM
The only way to do turkey is to smoke a fresh one that has been brined. You also have to use the right kind of wood - that produces a lighter smoke.Agree with everything here. For a lot of folks turkey is not worth the effort it takes to make it taste good, and that's ok!

We smoked two turkeys, a ham and did a roast in the slow cooker. Had leftover turkey but turkey tetrazzini, turkey noodle soup and turkey sandwiches took care of that. All we have left now is cranberry salad.

This. One of the things about the boomers is they were raised to prefer convenience as the most important factor in meal prep, the younger generation seems to enjoy the process much more.
It's not nuts. In the 60s the idea of not having to spend all day in the kitchen was seen as liberation. I think younger folks are realizing there's lots of creativity and satisfaction from doing that work.
