Stuffing a Thanksgiving Turkey

Made all different ways, baked, fried and smoked. My preference is a smoked turkey. Season with kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper, poultry seasoning inside and out. Put some carrots, celery and some apples in the innards. Inject the bird. I use a Cajun butter mix. Throw it on the Weber with some cherry or pecan wood for smoke. I do have an accessory that has a 32oz water chamber to keep the bird moist. Takes about 3 1/2 hours for a 14lb bird. I use fresh, not frozen turkeys. It’s really good.

On a side note, I did stuff LaLa Bosses throat like a Thanksgiving turkey once. Originally Posted by bambino

Here's a honest question. I always wanted to try a deep fried turkey because people have commented on how good they are but I've never had one. For anyone out there who ever has, is there really that much of a difference? Originally Posted by swtslnce

I didn't like it, make sure there is no ice at all and it is dry. You have to cook it outside because it will turn into a bomb.

I’ve done it three times and I think it’s much better than the traditional way. It only takes 4 minutes per pound. My frier will only hold a 14pound turkey. I like smoked turkey better tho.

At first I thought this was another tatas thread, glad to see it isn't!

I remember one-time I stuffed Taytum. This is how the term "to stuff her like a thanksgiving turkey" came to being lol. Originally Posted by tatasddd

I just get a Bob Evans dinner, no cleanup and not bad deal. My family is my sister and I.
I am so glad no one mentioning about a special baste! That could get very interesting!
