Another key to Thanksgiving success is plenty of liquor which is why I am freezing up TWO pitchers of Curacao Blue margaritas, serving four bottles of wine, including Cranberry wine, lots of cerveza, and rum for mixed drinks. Since "Pavo" means turkey in Spanish and "Borracho" means drunk, I am calling our Thanksgiving feast "El Pavorracho."

We can’t even afford a broiler chicken this year.
A lot of FReepers are suffering in FJB’s reign of error.

Cause you are rich? NOT expensive because I stocked up on Publix turkeys at 49 cents per pound. Total cost of both turkeys were under $14. Stuffing mix at Aldi's only 75 cents per box. And liquor and a lot of other stuff I got on the cheap cheap via bargain hunting and coupons.

I was just pulling your chain. It was the first thing that hit me when I read your title. :)

That would be great if we had a Publix anywhere near here.
Since my dog started cancer treatments in January, we’ve pretty much not been able to afford much meat of any sort.
Money goes to his vets.
It is what it is.

Okay but tandem turkeys are really not much of an expense due to the Thanksgiving turkey sales. Oh, and I got a sous vide cooker on the cheap cheap for just $50. About a third the price of sous vide cookers which you can pair to your cell phone. I don’t get why I would want to pair it to my cell phone since I still have to be home when I put turkey (or whatever else I’m cooking) into the sous vide container so why would I need to operate it via cell phone?

“... I have already started cooking my first turkey yesterday via sous vide. Tomorrow I smoke my second turkey on the Weber grill. Therefore I am cooking TWO turkeys in tandem...”
Why not deep-fry one and get the trifecta?
You have to remember to do it away from the house, near where you park the EV for safety.

Last year I deboned the turkey and precooked the white and dark meat at different sous vide temps, then warmed all the meat at 140F to serve.
I also did the same thing you did: created broth with the bones and used it for the gravy.
Perfectly cooked turkey and the best gravy I have ever tasted.

I do like El Pavorracho. Maybe I need to trademark that term. I checked on the Web and NOBODY before me has used that word. "El Pavorracho" is a very very happy Thanksgiving made due to lots of turkey and made even happier by lots of good booze. The Blue Curcao frozen margaritas I will be serving are BEYOND BELIEF refreshing!

Cause you are rich? I’m one of those unfortunates who can’t even afford an in-house sommelier.

Hoping to get lucky again at Dennys tomorrow. Last year, some anonymous soul picked up my tab as well as the tip.
