Thanksgiving in Canada, Columbus day in the States - damn the whole continent is off this Monday. Turkey at our daughter's this weekend.What's the planned cook for our US cousins to celebrate the guy who found you?Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

Turkey on Sun, not sure if it'll be Mad Max style, Amazing Ribs style, or sous vide.Prime rib on Mon.@hondabbq - happy anniversary kiddos!Happy Thanksgiving to all fellow canucks!canuckland

@canugghead Thank you.

@Skiddymarker-Columbus Day has lost a whole lot of traction over the years. The Fed gubmint recognizes it but beyond that it doesn't have much of a pulse at least where I am. So, since it's a regular work-day for most of us, my cook will likely be that which has been pre-cooked on Sunday. FWIW-Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win.

@lousubcap - learn something every day. Had no idea some States did not recognize Columbus Day - personal experience was with Illinois which I see does recognize it.Anyway - Enjoy your "not recognized in my State" Federal holiday!Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

We are cooking up our turkey on Sunday. Will be picking it up tomorrow and brining it overnight.
@canugghead -- although I am going to do traditional egged roast turkey, you have to enlighten me on the amazing ribs style and sous vide method for future attempts.
Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow canucks!

I stopped reading after "drinking".Flint, Michigan -
I just boned out a small turkey. Have a 28 pounder thawing. Going to do the white meat in one ballotine and the dark in the other. After bragging to the wife how cheap the birds were I realised they were the broken ones with parts missing. Have to see what happens.

@Little_Steven - how much for the "big chickens" on your side of the country?Here in the Land of Fruits and Nuts <15 pounds were $0.99/pound, over 15 pounds, $1.49. Mine are in the freezer as we have an invite - so maybe next week.Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

These "some parts may be missing" ones were $0.79. My mom used to buy them but I haven's seen them in years. I guess I need to get one of those Grandpa strings for my readers. :((

@Little_Steven-would like to see a pic of the deboned turkey before you load it up as I have been challenged when deboning a simple chix. Getting better with every run and have given rise to trying it for the American Turkey and football day. If too late, then next year.

Lou, if I can find my camera I would be happy to. It's gonna be a patch job.Fortunately I made stock last night and used some thighs and legs that I took the skin off. Probably end up looking like a quilt.

@Little_Steven-with a friggin' turkey you can do plastic surgery and no one will know. I believe I could work in Africa (ebola) and solve the contamination issue. I have chased chix parts all over the kitchen when wrestling with the deboning process. But it is entertaining as long as SWMBO is unaware.>- Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer!

Have you watched Pepin's videos? I did his in reverse for the dark meat bird.

Turkey is being thawed and will be ready to go on Monday. Tarp is ready, just in case of rain.

I have watched his chix (not the turkey piece) videos several times. Finally motivated by @paqman's recent great posts. Wrestled with two a couple of weeks ago and while a bit lengthy for me (and the second was quicker than the first) they turned out great.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win.

I think you got 'Utility' grade. Our local Freshco has aggressive "Grade A turkey same price as competitions' Utility grade price" price match guarantee, so for $0.79 I got Grade A, i.e. no missing body parts, by showing them Walmart's flyer with $0.79 utility grade, instead of $1.49.@Little Steven said:These "some parts may be missing" ones were $0.79.
