Do this, you must.

Dry brine it. Wash off the brine. Pat dry. Spatchcock. Put pats of butter underneath the skin of the breasts. Drizzle olive oil over it. Sprinkle with herbs/salt&pepper/rub of your choice. Cook.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I am by myself for the holiday.

But I am happy because my family will be with the others in the family and I have to work.

Here I was thinking you were gonna post a recipe to smoke a bird bedell.

this guy is interesting, he does a thing called the Food Lab. Some of his stuff is dumb some of it is cool. He speaks in a language that a lot of men get because it's very methodical and descriptive. That being said, much of what he does is pretty food basic.

I want to try Michael Symon's recipe (well one of them)

I'm trying to convince my girlfriend to throw and adult holiday party just so I can finally cook a turkey. Haha

I did something like this a few years ago. Turned out pretty good but it's difficult to screw up a turkey. I believe my recipe called for fresh rosemary sprigs under the skin with the butter, iirc.

Last year I made a herbed-butter. Didn't have time this morning - but yes, you can never go wrong with rosemary. Took 1:15 to cook our 17 lb. bird today.

Gain weight, I will.

Gain weight, I did. Had to run 6 miles tonight to ease my troubled conscience.

I have been sick so I slept most of Thanksgiving and still not in good shape today.

Turkey still in the fridge.

Sucks when you have a flu, thinking about telling my neighbors to take me to the hospital, not feeling good at all.

I hope you feel better soon. If I lived close by you know I'd come and take you to the hospital or somewhere. Keep us informed.
