So Vash's turkey thread got me thinking about my turkey recipe and whether or not it would be acceptable to most folks here on the board...

The turkey itself turns out a beautiful color, has great flavor through out, remains juicy, but here is the problem that I think most would have a problem with... it falls off the bone...

When I take the turkey out of the oven and sit it on the island, I have a separate platter ready to go... I grab a breast and it pulls right of the bone... I pull the breasts into pieces and then put them on the platter.. I separate the dark meat from the white meat on the platter and then add a little of the juice from the pan onto the meat on the platter... One cool benefit of this technique is that all of the tendons in the turkey legs are able to be pulled out like strands of hay when separating the meat...

So what do you think? Do you prefer to have the turkey on the table in one piece for traditions sake or are you open to having it served like I have described above? Fwiw, when I have deep fried turkeys in peanut oil I have had issues with the meat coming off the bone as well...
