    Can’t really go back to oven roasted after having some Cajun-spiced deep fried turkeys while living in the South. Didn’t know what I was missing, but now that I do, roasted turkey isn’t awful, but deep fried is far superior.

    The skin is like potato chips and the meat has so much more flavor. It's amazing.
    Yeah, the skin on a deep fried turkey is simply amazing. Had it for the first time when a friend from law school l, who grew up in town, invited a bunch of people over to her parents’ for thanksgiving. Her brother sat outside and fried like 3 turkeys for about 20 people that couldn’t go home because exams started the next Monday. It was amazing. And since it was the South; it was like 70 degrees and sunny and we sat outside drinking bourbon waiting for the turkeys.

    Fuck-off, this is the best way

    Fed to the dogs and replaced by ham, a brisket, etc.

    This. It's brisket and fondue today at my Wigwam. Fuck turkey. Stupid bird.

    The kicker with smoked is you're going to have the best gravy of your life.

    Traegered turkey is best I've had, quite easily.
    Same here. My sis and her husband smoke the turkeys and they're unbeatable.

    But...fuck turkey anyways. They did 15 lbs of beef tenderloin and a honey ham this year instead. I prefer both over turkey.

    They do the prime rib for Christmas and it's my favorite by a mile.
    I’ve done 3-4 on mine then my sister got a smoker & took it from there. consistently delicious. But I feel you on turkey in general. If it objectively awesome I’d cook em all year round

    I’d eat fried turkey all the time but it’s messy and a pain in the ass.

    Oven roasted
    Never had deep fried turkey so I had to vote with what I know. That said, the girls stayed at school this year so our Thanksgiving is delayed until Christmas break. I took the wife to The Keg and had a steak. No matter how good deep fried tastes, it doesn’t beat a steak.
