It is that time of year again; the holiday season is upon us. The holiday season is a wondrous time for us food and drink lovers. And one of my favorite holidays for cooking and eating is Thanksgiving; good old “Turkey Day.”
For most of us that celebrate Thanksgiving, the focal point of the Thanksgiving Day dinner is the turkey. That is not the case for everyone however; some prepare duck, goose, prime rib, or maybe even a Turducken. The focus here however is going to be on the turkey, and we’ll touch on the turducken as well.
Thanksgiving Day is a wonderful day to spend with friends and family, enjoying good food and drink, football, and of course some couch time after the turkey induced coma. There is a lot involved in getting that Thanksgiving turkey ready for the big day. In my next series of posts, we are going to go over everything you need to know to get that bird ready for the table.
Some of the topics I will cover will be the different types of turkeys; you have to know what you’re getting. What to look for when buying a turkey, whether fresh or frozen. I’ll also show you how to prepare the turkey prior to roasting, grilling, or deep frying. Find out what a Turducken is, and how to make it. And many other points will be covered from brining your turkey, to carving your turkey.
