Last year we had a brined smoked turkey and it blew me away. Delicious.

I just read that wet brining isn't actually that effective but that dry brining

Ham is the king of holiday meats. Glaze it in honey. Oh Yeah

Ham is the worst part of a pig.

That just tells you how good a pig tastes.

Bad turkey is bad, but good turkey can be very good. But it does take a lot of

My mom gets a "turkey roll" from Monroe or some city like that.

fiberpost

11/26/14 12:33pm

johnnycarson

Sweetheart roll has got to smell better than cow yewt.

fiberpost

11/26/14 12:49pm

yeah, its really good turkey. really good. different than a turkey breast.

johnnycarson

11/26/14 1:08pm

If the Turkey you eat is dry, then it is the cook, not the bird!!!!

Blue for Life

11/26/14 12:43pm

I've never had turkey taste all that different with some really good cooks

dchandle15

11/26/14 12:46pm

Huh? It's not supposed to be dry

workindev

11/26/14 12:49pm

Yes it is, turkey meat naturally does not have much moisture

dchandle15

11/26/14 1:11pm

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that you have never had a turkey that was

cheezedawg

11/26/14 1:40pm

If that's true, then both sides of my family are not good at making turkey

dchandle15

11/26/14 2:01pm

Don't feel bad- its pretty hard to prepare a turkey well

cheezedawg

11/26/14 2:07pm

haha kinda wish I could, too many cooks in the kitchen this weekend though

dchandle15

11/26/14 2:15pm

We do brisket instead. It surpasses turkey in every way.

srey

11/26/14 12:45pm

While this is true. Turkey is still awesome

Can't be any geek off the street. Gotta be handy with the steel if you know

And that, my friend, is why you get a drum stick. Dark meat isn't dry at all.
