Heh, in my house growing up, I suspect any visitor would conclude that we had purchased our bird from a place that genetically bred turkeys to have no skin!
When the turkey leaves the oven to cool, my mother had to post a guard over the turkey to keep us from denuding it buy filching patches of crispy and tasty skin!
It never worked. We always had turkeys arrive at the table with a body that looked like Michael Jackson’s face when he was halfway through bleaching it.
LOL!!!!
In our house Mrs POF didn’t stand guard over the turkey. She was on the front line stripping the skin as soon as I took the bird off the Weber BBQ.
We have never cooked the bird in the oven. Not once in almost 40 years. Always on the Weber kettle with charcoal, not gas. We like to rough it.
That happened at my in-laws house. My sister-in-law denuded
the turkey all by herself. Her brother was livid.
