If not Turkey...what's your preference?

[stevej37]

Not a big turkey fan here. Lots of other choices out there for T-Day
My favorite, when I've had it, has to be roasted duck....yumm.

[rwest]

Turkey when done right is delicious, usually it is dry and bland.

I’m making tacos for my Thanksgiving meal and the next three meals afterwards!

Traditional Ham but my family loves my Eight Hour Beef.

[GH85Carrera]

We do a smoked turkey and it is very good.

Ham is always great.

[Seahawk]

We do a smaller Turkey and Stuffed Ham:

My wife's family arrived via the Ark and the Dove and all I call tell you is that I have eaten things in the past 30 plus years I did not know was food growing up in SoCal.



It is remarkably good.

[stevej37]

^^^ That looks real yummy!

My second choice...behind duck, would be ham.

The only turkey I've ever really enjoyed was a Turkey Rolled Roast....it was delicious. It had dark and white meat rolled and marinated.

Oops. My wife looked over my shoulder and said, "We"?

My preference is that both our children will be here, and "I" support the epicurean efforts

Happy T Day!

We do a prime rib and a ham.

[herr_oberst]

Both the the duck and the ham look larpen' good; I'm trying my hand at a tiny turkey.

[stevej37]

Prime Rib is an excellent substitute.
The price here is $16/lb. so it's not as easy as a $.59/lb. turkey

I feel ya on the price tag...I'm feeding 20 this year. The prime rib alone cost me $400, and we're supplying basically the entire meal, minus a couple pies.

I'd be so afraid of effing that meat up!!! (I'm sure you've got this handled, I'm just not adept around the kitchen or the coals)

[craigster59]

I do the garlic/prosciutto/thyme stuffed turkey. The Wife prefers it, it's just me and her this year so lots of leftovers. She does a mean Shepard's Pie and T-bird waffles so we'll be eating good!

[scottmandue]

Possum... Hear me out now you nay sayers it has been a American tradition for decades!!! And hey talk about cost, go for a late night drive and harvest a half dozen!

Or maybe be real traditional and do lobster!

Look it up!

Maybe this is why they ask me to bring pie?

[herr_oberst]

You got a recipe for them waffles, or is it just chicken and waffles with turkey instead of chicken?

[stevej37]

I heard the tail is the best part.

[Dixie]

It started with my father. He hated turkey.

Ham..not a fan of Turkey..

One of the problems with Turkey is it typically get cooked once a year, twice a year maybe.. And Turkey is hard to cook well... A large lunp if meat with two appendages..

I'll take a nice ham from Bentons thank you very much

[stevej37]

^^^ Capt.
That will put any turkey to shame.
