Just had a bite of this years turkey and it is " fab u lous darling"
Christmas has officially started.
God bless you all.

There was me thinking it was about one of the players. We've certainly had some turkeys over the years.

Never been a fan of Turkey, so often too dry. Smoked turkey breast slices makes for great sandwiches though.

Thought it was gonna be holiday advice

Turkey curry on boxing day or the day after. that's the best use.

Christmas dinner is ace because of all the trimmings... pigs in blankets, bread sauce, cranberry sauce... oh and Christmas pud and cream/brandy butter

The way to ensure a moist turkey. is to make a sort of tent out of aluminium foil, plaster the bird with streaky bacon and a mound of butter....and give it a regular basting. Always worked for me in the past when I've cooked for numbers.

We had our work Christmas party last Friday and the food was lush. Genuinely never eaten turkey as good as that before.

Best use is cold with stuffing in a sandwich

Cook it upside down.

Add something like clementine's into the mix, which give a nice aroma but also provide added moisture.  Don't stuff the bird, just add a little into the cavity - helps ensure even cooking.  Check earlier than you think is needed and then just keep adding 10/15 mins on if it comes out pink and like any meat, leave to rest for ages.

The best results we've had has been when butter is generously stuffed in between the skin of the breast and the breast itself. Top with streaky bacon and baste regularly during cooking.
Saw it on a Christmas cookery programme(Jamie Oliver I think) and it worked well.

Deep fry the thing in a big pot in the back garden. All done in 45 minutes. Tis all the rage in the good old US of A.

I've had it done this way before, was delicious

I have an excellent nut roast recipe...

Ill get mi coat.

Turkey for veggies, so inclined

Mmm tofurkey.

I've always brined my meat for moisture.

And if you read that in a filthy manner that's your problem.  :-[

I have had a quorn roast.  Its weird.  Id rather go the nut roast route.  Not go for something pretending (badly) to be meat.

Is that the posh way of saying browned?

In practice no, in pronunciation probably :D

I want to try a turducken one year. That's tur duck en not turd ucken

SEE? SEE? What is a man to do???  ::)

I love turkey!.. We had some the other day, and with the left-overs, I made turkey and pesto grilled cheese sandwiches..

They were fucking amazing.

OK, time to watch this again:

Has Tyson Fury joined the Forum ?

Had one once.. It was really too much, far too rich. That comes from the people I ate it with, not me, as my opinion on food is irrelevant (I am so fussy. I hate most of it, especially meats (again, make your own jokes.))

I'm cooking turkey this Christmas though because Christmas. Got a goose for Boxing Day which I've never cooked before, could be interesting!

Sounds like a paltry meal
