Fried for me. Then on Friday, not to let good peanut oil go to waste, a fish and shrimp fry!

Oven roasted for this yankee. No leftover oil to worry about, and you can bake the yams and stuffing (not dressing) at the same time.

Fried! I don't get it that way very often, but when our turn comes up on the family merry-go-round, it's fried. Very Happy

Gonna have to say fried since I dont have a proper smokehouse to really do it right. But if it came down to a good smoked bird and a good fried bird......not sure I could choose........lol.

we've been smoking turkeys for years. use one of those black bullet shaped smokers. the one's with the water pan over the fire pan. takes about 8-10 hrs but makes for a nice moist bird. we stuff front and back cavities with apple, cellery and onion. I rub poultry seasoning on the skin and then olive oil. the smoker does two at a time. I like it better than fried. been wanting to pour some white wine in the water pan and a bouquet garnique, but just havent tried it yet. usually use a good charcoal with added mesquite for the fire.

I want it all and I WANT IT NOW! Get in ma belly! Really I like all three. Disadvantages with the smoked and fried you can't stuff them but then again lately the food police want you to make "dressing" outside the bird anyway.

While you are frying your turkey this year, buy some whole chickens and cook the same way..... They are delicious!

Dave, I buy the canned yams and make a caserole out of em. Never looked on the back of the can to see if they are sweet potatos just labeled as yams, I just always took their word for it. I am aware there is a difference, and the big grocery stores up in yankee land like King Kullen carry both in the produce section, but I never bothered with the fresh stuff, just skipped to the cans. Yams or sweet potatos, they are all pretty damn tasty.
