Our late turkey day...

Morning All:

We did our Thanksgiving dinner yesterday & the knee held up but I was totally exhausted at the end of the day...here is the 13.22 pound bird with the ice on the breast area waiting to go into the Egg...


Onto the Egg with dome temp about 330 with some cherry for added flavor...


Rotated it part way through the cook to make sure even temps & almost done...


Finished & resting before carving...


Ended up doing the corn souffle on the other large Egg...just on...


And ready to come off...


Also ended up doing the dressing in the oven due to some issues with the small Egg but forgot to take any pictures...all in all an Eggcellent dinner even though it wore out the cook!

Have a GREAT day!

    Looks great, Jay! Glad you were able to get it done so soon after your surgery. Needs a green veggie or two though. :)

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Morning @Carolina Q  

    The D-I-L did bring a leafy green salad plus there were also our Sweet Potato rounds...oh yeah, pumpkin pie & brownies for dessert.

    Have a GREAT day!

  • Way to go, Jay. I'm glad to hear you are doing well after your surgery and were able to egg for the family.
    Happily egging on my original large BGE since 1996... now the owner of 5 eggs. Call me crazy, everyone else does!
