Turkey Dinner

[Fish Assassin]

What you doing special with your turkey dinner this year?

We are doing a turkey dinner pizza this year as it's just the three of us. Removed the breast off the bird this afternoon and brining it for the smoker tomorrow morning. The rest of the bird is roasting right now so I can make gravy instead of regular old sauce. The roasted bird will be picked apart and turned into soup stock.

Laura is going to make fresh pizza dough with stuffing seasoning in it, cover that with home made gravey, freshly smoked turkey breast, blanched carrot slices, sliced and roasted garlic baby potatoes, steamed sliced brussel sprouts, caramelized onions, fresh cranberries covered in mozza. I can't wait.....

Ahem.... Interesting. To be honest, you lost me at gravy on a pizza, but Brussels sprouts and it just got too weird. LOL

To each their own though.

Going to try spatchcocking the turkey this year. Basically removing the backbone and laying it flat on a roasting sheet. Cooks in about 1/4 of the time and the breast meat does not dry out.

I'm gonna try this next turkey dinner we make. Was too late for this one. Thanks for sharing.

Turned out great. Cooked in 90 minutes at 350. Juiciest bird I ever cooked.

That process works well on all birds. Ive actually used that method for years unless I have the need for stuffing out of the bird.

I actually did the rest of my turkey that way after removing the breast for smoking. Took 1.25 hours at 350 in my convection oven. Seasoned the sucker up and roasted it. The sandwich meat and soup bones were perfect.
