Thanksgiving Turkey Results (Lots of Pics)

So thanks again goes out to Mad Max and his turkey recipe and technique! Pretty much followed his method but changed a few minor things here and there. I did end up basting after all.
Turkey covered in a butter/fresh sage&thyme mix.
Mummified the top half with bacon. :woohoo:
On the egg. Ended up changing my mind about using a pizza stone on top of the plate setter. But it's pictured here.
About an hour or so into the cook.
Few hours later...
Ready to come off...
At the in-laws now starting to carve.
Very juicy bird!
This was what was left after the vultures got to it claiming their stakes for left overs for sammaches.
I've been "told" I'll be doing the Christmas turkey now... :laugh:

Wow, that looks really good, it's making me hungry for our Thanksgiving next month. I hope you saved those bones for making turkey stock - there is nothing like the stock from egged chicken and turkey.Happily egging on my original large BGE since 1996... now the owner of 5 eggs. Call me crazy, everyone else does!

Jasper, your turkey looks great. I'm surprised you needed to basted after your bacon mummification process. That could be a a great entree for Halloween, a mummified turkey. :laugh:

Great looking bird there Jasper, I bet you'll be nominated to cook Easter turkey too!

Thanks.
No the carcass got left at the in-laws. My father in-law might have saved it for something, I'll have to ask. -
Thanks.
I wasn't sure if I needed to baste but everyone told me to do it anyway. Turned out very good in the end anyhow so I'll probably do it the same way for Christmas. -
Haha...probably! Did you do one yesterday?
-
Great looking bird!
Congratulations on a successful cook.
The vultures devoured mine too - the soup is in the stock pot!

I did leg of lamb on Sunday, Mad Max turkey on Monday. Pretty standard run-of-the-mill cooks, not worth posting.
