November 27Nov 27 Brine-thaw update: bird is fully thawed and the thermo read 40F this morning. I tossed in a fresh scoop of ice to keep it below 40 and it's chilling until a little later this afternoon. Really excited to see how it turns out
November 27Nov 27 Getting there. Breasts are ready for the wrap. Started on the pellet grill, but it's under 20 here, so switched to the 26 kettle.
November 28Nov 28 A little too much smoke maybe, but juice poured out when I removed the probe, so should be juicy.
November 28Nov 28 Turned out great and moist and delicious. The truss wasn't that hard to do and the skin was delicious and crispy! Gravy turned out nice with all the root vegetables roasting in the drippings

November 28Nov 28 Spatchcocked turkey turned out great once again. Boneless breast was wrapped in the pick but was also very good.
November 28Nov 28 Not sure which thread we discussed this in, but I inquired about the cost of turkey outside the US. In Scotland, the boy found one for £28, so not too bad. But in Germany….daughter couldn’t find one to order for less than €160, and she said fuck that. So, she’s making 5 large roasted chickens…and a goddamn tofurkey for her vegetarian housemate and friends (they’re doing Thanksgiving today, because she doesn’t have class on Fridays). FFS. A tofurkey.
