Big day of cooking

A big group of us with young kids and no close extended families decided to have a big thanksgiving get together, so my wife and I decided to do our traditional thanksgiving meal today. Been chopping and prepping, Egg cleaned and loaded topped off with fresh lump. Bloody Mary in hand. Should be a fun day.

Like the okra in the BM. Did it come from a jar that looks similar to this?

Bird is on. 325 grate planning on puli g at 165.LBGE & SBGE. Central Texas.

CPARK, I'm not a turkey expert at all, but from what I have been reading, the right temperature to pull is 157. While resting, it will get to 165. If you pull at 165, it will get to 170+ and be dryer than what you might want. Again, I am not a turkey expert.CPARKTX said:Bird is on. 325 grate planning on puli g at 165.__________________________________________Dripping Springs, Texas.Just west of Austintatious -
@Village Idiot how long do you let it rest? I like crisp skin so I wasn't planning on tenting.LBGE & SBGE. Central Texas.

From my research, the crisp skin will come from cooking at 425 for one hour, then reducing the temp to 325. Here's where I'm getting my info.CPARKTX said:@Village Idiot how long do you let it rest?

We did a practice bird a couple weeks back w the same rub but no injection...was so so moist...if I recall I pulled at 160 and didn't rest at all...the skin wasn't as crisp as I would have liked but the bird was pretty awesome.Making the neighbors jealous in Pleasant Hill, Ia one cook at a time... -
