Should have foiled sooner so the skin is blackened in a few spots. This bird is so massive (21 lbs) that it barely fit in the Traeger.

I pulled at 160. It was very juicy.
I'm going to be honest, I'm not very happy. I got a bunch of compliments, but I didn't like the butter flavor, and it was probably too moist. I will just brine and rub next time, no injection of that death butter concoction.
Oh well, people seemed to enjoy themselves."Sure, I fought. I had to fight all my life just to survive. They were all against me. Tried every dirty trick to cut me down, but I beat the bastards and left them in the ditch."

I know, I now. But trust me, too moist, soaked in butter and Cajun spices that really clashed with turkey gravy.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View Post"Sure, I fought.

BTW, a bunch of really nice looking birds.

Deep fry

Roasted with the turkey triangle

A few notes:
1. All the hullabaloo about dangerous turkey frying is for morons, apparently. Zero issues with the turkey fry. All of those youtube videos are scaring people away from cooking something that is delish and really easy. As long as you remember a few key rules, you are absolutely fine.
2. Turkey triangle for a roasted turkey is ab-fab. Alton knows his stuff. I pulled my roaster at 161 breast and the dark meat was just slightly above 180. It was perfect. I actually let it sit for about an hour (not by choice....everyone else was still scrambling to finish their dishes, a huge pet peeve of mine when people arent ready at the appointed meal time) but that sucker was oozing juice and flava. On the roaster, I rubbed under the skin but didnt inject. no need to, imo. I agree with what said earlier...cajun spices are good with cajun dishes. We rarely cook cajun thanksgivings so I dont want a cajun bird.
3. Fried turkey is really delish. Peanut oil, rub under skin, butter injection. Very moist. Not as moist as turkey triangle, however. The flavor is really unique for a turkey. I will definitely do one again, although I may go smoked next time to give that a shot.
We are barely getting to dessert now. My wife is thinking about hitting Black Friday with her mom and sisters, leaving me to watch TV and relax all evening.
Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

my BIL was supposed to bring a new large metal oil pan from his work..he is a machanic. Unfortunately, he showed up about an hour and a half late and I had to get started. no biggie. Power wash with hot water, oil and grease is gone. In the future, I will likely purchase my own metal pan. Plywood is gauche!Originally posted by FN Phat View PostFitter. Happier. More Productive.
