Slashfood Ate (8): Ways to prepare Thanksgiving turkey

Thanksgiving turkey
Turkey, the centerpiece of everyone's Thanksgiving meal, can be prepared a number of ways, but, ultimately we all want it to be tender and succulent with the meat practically falling off the bone. There are several ways to cook a moist juicy turkey.

When I look back at previous Thanksgiving turkeys with my family, I think about having to dip the meat in so much gravy because of it being too dry. Fortunately, there are tactics (delicious ingredients) that can prevent this from occurring. Below are 8 recipes to follow to cook your scrumptious festive bird this Thanksgiving:

  1. Martha Stewart's roast turkey
  2. Brined, herb roast turkey
  3. Adobo tukey with red-chili gravy
  4. Citrus marinated turkey
  5. Chili-roasted turkey with chorizo-corn bread stuffing
  6. Smoked turkey with barbecue gravy
  7. Porcini mushroom turkey with mushroom gravy
  8. Miso-rubbed turkey with turkey gravy
What are some of your favorite turkeys from previous Thanksgiving meals?

Or, if you're able, get a heritage breed turkey (if you're in Philly, D'Angelo Brothers on 9th has spectacular prices for FRESH Bourbon Reds, and it's great to support local merchants and local farmers), I'd recommend salt, pepper, and butter.
