RE: Thanksgiving Delight - Keep 'em coming...

While both are poultry the tastes are different as are to some extent the cooking methods. Turkey can be a challenge to roast fully without drying out the meat, thus the need to baste it regularly during the cooking process. Some like to brine the meat which gives it opportunity to absorb moisture (usually water) that helps the meat stay moist during the cooking.

I enjoy deep fried turkey which is usually always nice and moist. I had thought the meat would be greasy after exposing it to that much oil but it comes out really nice. The downside is that the oil does get into the carcass thus trying to use the bones for broth doesn't go well. Did I mention I liked turkey soupl :)
