Don’t Cook Your Turkey in a Roasting Pan I roast my birds on a wire rack set over a baking sheet, and the bird has never suffered.

I tried smoking it but the wrapping paper got all soggy from the turkey juices and I couldn’t light it.

Ah, the old canoe.

No, not less than minimum wage....................

As you point out, this stupid writer is going to cause a lot of mess.

Baking sheet to some will be a sheet with no sides. Turkey juice will start a fire at worst or make a monster mess at best. Stupid.

I’d tell the wife but she wouldn’t change or try anything different, and her turkeys are always good anyway. I’m more of an experimenter, but oh well.

We bake dead birds so they don't suffer either.

I knew if I scrolled far enough someone would have used it.

Everyone better make sure their bird turns out right, since they will be spending a much larger amount on purchasing one this year. 🙄

YEP! Upside down, inside a brown paper bag! Perfectly moist and delicious every single time!

My microwave sparked and flared today, for no reason I could figure. That’s never happened...

This year I'm trying this method...

F*ck The Whole Bird, I Cook My Turkey Like This Now

I smoke mine Claire

you must go thru quite a few matches trying to light it tho?

I have been smoking ours for about the last ten years as well. I put them right on the rack most of the time, although I have put them in a pan sometimes to cut down on the mess.

I do run the smoker hotter than normal (around 300 F)and I stuff the bird as well. Most of them have been large birds I stick a thermometer in them to make sure I get the core temperature up to 160 before taking it out of the smoker. If we are not going to get to 160 in time... I cover it with foil and stick it in the oven for the last hour or two at a higher temperature. Most of the smoke is absorbed in the first couple of hours. Even the dressing absorbs a lot of good smoke flavor.

Dang!
I can taste the Cranberries!!!

If you let the legs fly, you’re going to get better air circulation around them and they will heat faster and cook more.

The Kamala method.

I cooked a chicken on a rack in the oven with a roasting pan underneath this weekend - a spatchcocked leftover from a barbecue that I had to cook so it didn’t go bad. The little Flashs and I did it while Mrs. Flash was out.

Later that day, after the bird was done, I saw Mrs. Flash reaching into the far corners of the oven, to reach the splatters, with a very mean look on her face.
