Turkey's delicious on its own you dumbfuck zoomer, not every meal has to be some epic culinary journey.

Turkey is just a bigger, gamier chicken. You can do anything you want with it just like chicken.

smoke it

Can cook it in the air fryer, heh

Why is this a meme? It really is fucking delicious. I confitted this, sous vide, in lard, for 16 hours, then air fried it.

You should try cooking a whole turkey in it, heh

Not every meat is interesting. Turkey is just plain boring, which is probably why it's, second to cheap hamburgers, the national dish of America.

My favorite of all time is brine with an allspice containing brine, not sure why that works with turkey so well. Then smoke for 45 min and finish in the oven. I like a berry port sauce, using ruby port and dried berries of any type plus a touch of rosemary, thyme, or both, boil then simmer, reduce for 30 min. Also if you can swing it, saute some thinly sliced mushrooms in the fond, deglaze with maybe 1/4 cu white wine, and whisk before dumping into a ramekin and topping with a sprinkle of chive.

roast the gibblets and the neck and the wing tips until dark brown and then make a stock with mirepoix and then make that stock into a gravy with the drippings

While I’m feeling nostalgic, the absolute number 1 best turkey I had in my life was the following: guy I used to know had a computer controlled green egg smoker. Had a PID controller, fan, and control over ventilation to keep temp very, very constant. Guy brined an heirloom breed turkey, which was honestly surprisingly small, then smoked it using local cherry wood, I think. When it was 3/4 done, he flash fried it in a turkey fryer to get that outside texture. It was fucking incredible. There was also a purely fried turkey for comparison and it just seemed so one-dimensional. Best turkey of all time, I wonder what happened to that guy.

marinate. poultry absorbs flavours like a sponge. the longer it marinates the better the flavor its soaking in.

How is it served in restaurants across the country? It’s a white boring piece of meat. Much like myself.
The correct answer is confit.

It's a good idea to brine it since it dries out more easily than chicken. Other than that just cook it like any other poultry.
