I season it depending on my mood! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-you-cook-your-turkey#post-1227837 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 16:54:53 +0000 MrsRcCar 1227837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We buy a frozen turkey, then we use a spice rub and roast our turkey in the oven. We make gravy out of the turkey drippings. </p> <p>:)))) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-you-cook-your-turkey#post-1227725 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 16:17:52 +0000 looch 1227725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: it keeps the basting liquid on the bird! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-you-cook-your-turkey#post-1227723 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 16:17:06 +0000 mrs. bird 1227723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: interesting! what does the cheesecloth do? </p> <p>@Leialou: i've never seen an infrared fryer! very cool! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-you-cook-your-turkey#post-1227719 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 16:15:51 +0000 looch 1227719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oven roasted, covered by a cheesecloth, basted every 20 minutes.</p> <p>Always the smallest bird I can find. The big ones are impossible to cook and are stringy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-you-cook-your-turkey#post-1227697 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 16:09:45 +0000 regberadaisy 1227697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH always makes the turkey! </p> <p>We always brine and he cooks it the same way his dad does and his dad did. Hot and fast and baste every 20 minutes. The result is a really juicy and tender bird. And we always but onions, celery and carrots in the pan and use the drippings to make gravy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-you-cook-your-turkey#post-1227696 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 16:09:38 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1227696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We deep fry ours with cajun spices. We have an infrared fryer. It's so much easier to deal with than the oil! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-you-cook-your-turkey#post-1227670 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 16:04:35 +0000 kiddosc 1227670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We always roasted our turkeys growing up, but now DH fries them. So good, and so much quicker than roasting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-you-cook-your-turkey#post-1227627 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 15:53:15 +0000 Alivoo01 1227627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is our first year cooking a turkey and we plan on thawing it on Monday to be cooked on Thursday.
