Who's Cooking Turkey And How

I'm gonna be having the oven cooked turkey as well with my family this year, same as always. My dad always cooks a huge meal and Thanksgiving is one of the rare days where my entire family comes together to celebrate.

Deep fried Cajun turkey. Mmmmm.

That's what I said to myself. Hopefully it'll taste as good as it looked on the pictures :)
So how did it work out?

We're going to deep fry a turkey at FedEx while we tailgate on Sunday. Always good stuff.

But for tomorrow, we go to my aunt's for a good old fashioned Thanksgiving. Since my family is so big she usually cooks 2 25lb birds, with all the extras. Last year i ate so much that I thought I injured myself internally.

I honestly feel like I hurt my stomach a little last night. I had two gigantic piled high plates, and then 30 minutes later went for four pieces of pie which essentially amounted to 2/3rds of a pie. I felt so full that I could feel food where my esophogus meets my stomach, and any bending or twisting would have resulted in involunary upchuck.

Today my stomach honestly feels wierd. It's not like it hurts, but it doesn't feel right. I think I stretched it out something fierce.

God help my sphincter, when the time comes!

i'm late here, but i went to a friend's... he used the deep frying technique ;) didn't really taste much different than baked, but it was good.

I went amd deep fried the turkey. Turned out pretty good and was a nice chance for the guys to get outside and have a nice cigar and some beer. Turned out nicely. I also made stuffing that required 3 lbs shrimp, 1lb bacon and 1lb andouille sausage that was a big hit. I love cajun cuisine.

Somehow I convinced myself that we wouldn't have to do much cooking but as it turned out even ordered food doesn't magically prepare itself nor does it come with a chef and a butler. The turkey was pre-cooked but had to be put into the oven for 3 hours. We also had to spend about an hour and half reheating/baking the mash potatoes, dressing, yams, gravy, and the green beans. All in all the food was served warm and it was the best tasting thanksgiving dinner I've had in a long while. I'm definitely doing it again next year.


Oh and no stomach was hurt during or after eating.

So its more that they prepared the stuff and you had to finish the cooking. So where did you get your meal?

Yup. I bought it at local grocery store called QFC. They only have stores in Washington and Oregon.
