How is your Thanksgiving turkey cooked?

[Kitty 34]

Boneless pre-cooked turkey breast. Either refrigerated or frozen. Just reheat. I don't deal with bones, carcasses, or any of that nasty crap anymore.

If I just heat up a bunch of Tyson chicken strips (my fav), tater tots and possibly some Stove Top stuffing for our meal, that would solidify my not doing Thanksgiving!! One of my sisters could take it all on...........

Other than making turkey stock, that's how most people brine/roast a turkey.

I must hang with lazy folks; none of my people do all those things. Oh well.

Target shows on their website that they have a 5-9 lb frozen turkey

I didn't even know Target had a supermarket section?! Dang and thanks for that. The man likes to wander the nearby Target mall so now you've added to his "Pick this up for me" chores. Uhmmmmm.... He may not thank you.

PS- I was really all psyched to get a bitty bird and stick it in the freezer but my local Target only has turkey breasts advertised in the 5-9 lb size, darn them.

I have no idea how mine is cooked, I'd have to ask the grocery store (Publix).

We don't cook for Thanksgiving and we absolutely love it. Order from Publix, buy paper plates. Our Thanksgiving goes like this....heat, eat, toss in trash, couch. Best. Day. Ever.

I use heat.

I get the precooked turkey since I don’t want to waste all day cooking.

NYCgrrl, just wanted to say something I’ve wanted to say for a long time. Your posts are a true delight! You must be a blast to have as a friend!

Thank you! I look forward to reading your posts as well.

It's difficult to find those whole small (hen) turkeys. Generally the smallest I find in our local grocery stores is 12 pounds. If I want smaller than that, I have to just get a whole turkey breast.

Sorry, don't like duck.

How about Guinea Pig? I had it in Peru, and it tasted almost like Chicken.

No need. I like turkey. That's why I still cook a whole turkey dinner (for both Thanksgiving and Christmas) even though it's usually only 4 of us here to partake.

Thanks for the reminder! There should be a delivery at the front door that includes this Thanksgiving's duck breast. If I'm lucky they'll tell the man to take it when he gets home.

Guinea pig tastes like chicken? Eel does not.

Eel is super yummy. But it’s more like a white fish than anything else.

The hardest thing about duck is cutting it up. It’s a good test to see if your knives are good.

It’s cooked in the oven, fried, or smoked. Are you asking how folks dress it up?

No, but I did go back to my original OP just to make sure.

Ours gets cooked in a bag. Turkey gets stuffed with orange slices and an entire bottle of (cheap )Champagne
goes into the bag and I don't know what all else. Comes out nice,
