I'm not cooking, but I heard through the grapevine that a whole smoked goose (tame one I think) was on the menu for Thursday. Most likely have smoked ham too. I got tasked with bringing the deviled eggs. It was always my Mom's dish to bring when she was alive, now it's fallen to me. Hope it isn't a flop. Probably make a peach cobbler too in case the eggs aren't well received.

For those who fry what's your method? Do you brine, inject, peanut oil? I don't brine. Try to find 10-12 pound birds. Inject with creole butter. Dust with Cajun Shake. Fry 3 minutes per pound + 5 minutes in peanut oil. After oil cools... filter back into container for seasoned fish fry oil. The oil usually last me all year used about 1/2 gallon at a time for a fish fry or wings. I will be frying four birds Thursday morning.

I'm writing a research paper and preparing for final exams. I ain't got time to cook! Fortunately, there are thoughtful family members who will cook for the rest of us

Did someone nibble off the stuff on the bottom of those legs? I don't even know. That's the results of family from MO coming down for Thanksgiving taking over the cooking, and mixing with a bunch of hoity toity women in-laws who say they want it to be spicy.  I walked in and said, y'all know it's against the law to kill a buzzard, much less cook the dang thing.... I got shunned over that one.

I don't like turkey unless it is smoked and tastes like ham.
Wont be fixing any turkey unless its lunch meat, then I may warm it up in the microwave.

I don't cook Thanksgiving meal, I just eat.
You can avoid having ulcers by adapting to the situation: If you fall in the mud puddle, check your pockets for fish. ~Unknown
Open your eyes & look within, are you satisfied with the life youดre living.
No matter how good or bad you have it, wake up each day thankful for your life. Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs.

I think the only way to achieve that flavor is by slicing it thin, putting it inside a toaster with small wood chips to help get that delicious smoky flavor you are searching for

injection of Tony Cacheres and baked in the oven... Cook does a slow burn over half baked complaints at my house.

Fried in peanut oil like I do most every year. Still haven't tasted a better turkey in twenty years.
