Morimoto Asia what is a "Peking Turkey"?

Last year, Morimoto offered a Peking Turkey dinner.

Did anyone actually try it? The whole point of Peking Duck is the crispy skin.

Given the amount of meat a turkey has compared to it's skin area, I'm wondering how Morimoto does a Peking Turkey? I wasn't able to find any reviews or photos online, either.

That sounds intriguing. I’m there for Canadian Thanksgiving but not US Thanksgiving. Maybe they’ll offer it for Christmas!!

Chinese Roast Duck, but Make It Turkey​

The three days leading up to Thanksgiving are manic at Kau Kau BBQ Market & Restaurant, a mainstay in Seattle’s Chinatown that specializes in Chinese barbecue. At least two extra cooks are brought on to help clean, brine, dry, baste and roast holiday turkeys 24 hours a day in the kitchen’s already packed ovens: crisp-skinned, five-spice-seasoned birds that Kau Kau makes according to the same process it uses for its roast duck. ...

I think it would be good. I mean when u deep fry a turkey the skin is like glass. So I would think they could get it just as crispy as duck?

Man I love duck. Anyway I cook it I’ll take it. Jiko had it few years back with those little African apple things they used to use a lot. It was so darn good.

Man now I’m in the mood for duck. Lol
