R-U-making turkey this year ?

[jwyblejr]

Anybody ever try Great Value Turkey and Dressing Bake ?

It's a family size frozen dinner but a real man can easily eat the whole thing by himself

Can honestly say it's pretty dang good

It's not bad but I think it's a little on the dry side. I usually throw a can of turkey gravy on it when I have it.

I’m not, but my wife is. I remember when turkey, gas, housing, and almost everything else used to be much cheaper just a few short years ago.

Nothing fancy. Just parmesan cheese, olives, pepperoni and Penzeys Italian seasonings. Pretty much the homemade version of the Chef Boyardee pizza kit.

Yum. Haven't made a homemade Pizza in about 10 years. What do you put on your pie, Werewolf?

Always.

We got an Open Nature bird, not huge, about 13.5 pounds (only four people will gather). Organic. Farm raised. No antibiotics. No nitrates. Was not cheap.

I will brine it.

I actually love cooking on Thanksgiving.

[Nostalgiabuff]

absolutely. Can't have Thanksgiving without turkey. we got a 20lb bird. i didn't even look at the cost but i am sure it was exorbitant. it is what it is with prices these days. english muffins at BJ's Whole sale club are 7.50 now. it's outrageous but you gotta eat

[Werewolf]

No, but then we never have a Turkey or do a traditional Thanksgiving. Going to make the usual homemade Pizza.

...............My daughter has asked that we do a smoked ham this year with the honey glaze. We all decided to do it but it is really bothering my head not having a smoked turkey .

Smoked ham !!!!!!!!!!!!

Would easily trade off a smoked turkey for a ham !!!

[Megotastrophe]

For the last 20 yrs I have bought a pre smoked turkey and we all enjoyed it. Before getting these I always hated oven cooked turkey. My daughter has asked that we do a smoked ham this year with the honey glaze. We all decided to do it but it is really bothering my head not having a smoked turkey .

Small gathering this year; just 4 of us. 14 - 16lb. Hen was the smallest we could order. Picking her up Tuesday. Brining starts Wednesday.

Seems like turkey is kinda expensive these days.

Thinking I might do a store-brand already cooked rotisserie chicken instead

Maybe a box of stuffing on the side.
