I am thankful for the new world's greatest native food: sweet potatoes

Regular potatoes are also pretty good

Well, I, for one, enjoy Thanksgiving.

Benefits:

1. See family.
2. Eat a loooot of good food.
3. Annoy the hell out of younger brother.
4. Get a break from my computer, see a different part of the world for a while.
5. Black.  ****ing.  Friday.

Drawbacks:

1. Some family members are annoying as hell.
2. They put gibblets in the dressing this year. D:
3. Younger brother is equally as annoying.
4. There's a computer here capable of running Counter-Strike 1.6.  So much for a break!
5. I can't find ANYTHING on Black Friday... it's always sold out.

...seriously?  Remove giblets, cover with foil/roasting pan, set oven, baste occasionally, wait until internal temperature is right, remove from oven, allow for cooling, carve, and nom.  That's about it. :p

i usually take the heart and liver, chop em up with onions and celery and simmer them in chicken broth for a few minutes, then add butter and stuffing mix (i chicken flavored use stove top). i prep the turkey by peppering it inside and out, salt the interior to draw juices into the stuffing. then you stuff that hole. finally melt some butter and lube that bird. cook at about 325, but dont time it, go by meat thermometer. baste it every 10 minutes with chicken broth and butter until there are enough juices. sacrifice a small animal to satan for every hour of cook time. the end result is a mother****ing badass turkey. not difficult at all.

i need to start the taters.

My mom always cooks the stuffing separately from the bird, but she does throw some giblet action in there.  It's all great so long as you don't think about what those chewy dark bits really are. :p

whoever thought up that myth about the stuffing being in the bird needs to be shot. it will not give you food poisoning, what it will give you is tasteless stuffing. what will give you good poisioning is trusting that plastic done-o-meter they stick in the birds. use a real meat thermometer.

Wait a second, you complain about people not stuffing the turkey and then complain when someone mentions stuffing the turkey with more meat AND stuffing? :p
Title: Re: Happy Thanksgiving to the Americans in the audience. :)
Post by: Nuke on November 27, 2010, 01:34:31 am
the stuffing is the best part, by putting more meat in your hole, your reducing the amount of stuffing that can be stuffed in the hole.

Turducken: deboned duck, debone chicken, & deboned turkey. Stuffed together in approximately that order (depending on the size of the chicken & duck) with stuffing in each layer. It came out quite well; we had about 35-40 lbs of Turducken (excluding collected juices), all said and done.

Stuffing is superior, I agree with Nuke.

Ducks are dark meat anyway.

Stuffing (bread-ish) was included in the turducken. Duck lipids are very tasty.

i have consumed more different kinds of animals than most people on this board. i just dont think you should mix meats.
unless youre making chili, but thats something different entirely.

Wurst/sausage.

Not to mention a ****load of other types of food that mix proteins. Anyways, it was a pastry chef/culinary student who made it and I thought it came out excellently.
