This year we've invited my friends (RIP Jack) wife and her son's family (5) over for a home cooked fresh turkey dinner with all the fixins. Time for me to get to plucking 2 birds for dinner this year and a house full of 15-18 people.

How old are these birds you are plucking?  Always wondered at what age a turkey gets tough.  Never shot a wild one that wasn't tough, but never shot a poult either.

These were hatched in late march early April them about 32 weeks old. I prefer their age for eating 28-38 weeks depending on size. The larger Tom was 28 lbs cleaned and butchered at 28 weeks leaving the others to fatten up until I believe they are between 15-20 lbs

The in-laws are coming to dinner from Nevada this year. They requested a "special" thanksgiving menu. So, I will be cooking my wife the traditional thanksgiving dinner the week after Thanksgiving. As far as Thanksgiving day is concerned, the in-laws want to hop the ferry and go to The Crab Pot in downtown Seattle. Not traditional turkey day fare, but I never mind eating a ton of seafood!

Been there ate there and  :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: awesome eats, enjoy  ;)

Having surgery the day before thanksgiving, so all that's on the menu for me this year is pain killers. The family has quite the feast planned though.

Oh crap! My wife bought the smoked turkey at Whole Foods again. It was $88!!!  :yike:  :bash:  :bash:  :bash:

12-14 pound all natural turkey and yeah they have labor and time into it since it was smoked, but holy cow this is ridiculous. Did we get taken to the cleaners or what??

yes we have a turkey! yes we have all the fixings! The most relished thing about thanksgiving is my wife's CLAM DIP! My mother only taught 4 brothers wife's her recipe, and my wife was the only one to master it. I only get it whenever my youngest son comes home for some stupid reason. Since i was a kid and to this day, you can forget the chips, Just grab a spoon. The last time my mom made her dip was the last time we all hunted together, if you can imagine 4 grown men huddled around a giant bowl of dip with spoons in hand and a smiling mother, then you can imagine... ah the memories!

Slightly rubbed Elk Loin with seasonings and wrapped with bacon! Can't wait! Cook on the BBQ till bacon is done and internal temp at 120 deg. :tup: This inspired by RadSav...
Slap some bacon on a biscut and lets go, were burrnin daylight!

Its DAMMED good. I just had no idea it was this astronomical.

I suppose its time I finally buy a smoker and spend the winter and spring diving into the hobby of smoking foods. Maybe I can take some zoom burst photos down of the smoke pipe  :o   :chuckle:

One step at a time.  :cue:

One of you people keeps posting up smoked cheese. That sounds great and I want to try it some time. IIRC you can also smoke jerky, which also sounds great. Hmmm... I need to add an item to my Christmas list  :)
