hopefully oyster dressing is on our menu. my grandmother makes a killer one she said the key is using the juce from the oysters instead of water

My wife volunteered me to fry turkeys for her family. Only problem is I've never done it!! I've always held the pan for my old man.

The 2 things I look forward to is my mom's green bean casserole and my grandma's jambalaya.

Ya'll making me hungry!

Happy Thanksgiving to da SC guys and girls!

Well at our house it's the traditional Turkey, Rice Dressing, string beans, sweet potato cassorle, Mac & Cheese, and Ima probably do a few duck ka bobs and maybe a roast as well.

I got one of those Oil free Turkey Fryers for my birthday this year so I'm going to shoot em up with some juice and give it a whirl... alot of people have told me how tasty they are... cant wait!!

The oilless fryers work great. Just make sure and check your temps all over the bird. May need to flip the bird during cooking.

I will be doing a slow smoked turkey with applewood, a boston butt, and we will have enough sides to feed Ethiopia.

And more

Hell yea on that chaudin. I think the only thing better than that is a stuffed cow tongue!

Haha - I'll just take your word on the stuffed cow tongue!! Chaudin on Thanksgiving is a tradition. I'll give up the turkey before I give that up!!

Think of the best most tender roast you have ever eaten. Cow tongues is like that but better! Sounds gross, but very delicious!

Thanksgiving Dinner
 

As I'm out of the country (Thailand) and my wife is not due to join me here until early next month, I am going to visit a local institution (especially known for their Thanksgiving Dinners).
Bourbon Street Restaurant!
Yep, imported Butterball turkeys served fried, baked, smoked...and all the trimmings available to us expats living & working here. It doesn't beat being home for the holidays, but it sure does make it much nicer for us. Happy Thanksgiving to all of the SC family from Thailand!!

A good friend of mine from HS worked a crane mechanic, he started his own crane service company in Thailand and is doing really well.

Skip the restaurant part and i couldn't help but get a vision of a duck with head attached and 4 small adults around the table singing....Tis da season to be jorry, fa rah rah rah rah....rah rah rah rah.....I know, I need help!

Besides that....Thanksgiving at the deer camp....Traditional Turkey dinner with some sort of backstrap extravaganza involving cream cheese, bacon and a host of other artery clogging ingredients....Makes it hard to keep the eyes open on the afternoon hunt!

how long do you have to cook a turkey minutes per pound ?

Got a buddy who is viet nam war ex pat who lives in Thailand. He says he has to pay $50 us for a frozen butter ball turkey ,if he can find one.
