Thanksgiving recap
Posted on Friday, Nov 23, 2007As you know, Carrie and I had a “test run” of our Thanksgiving last weekend. Well, yesterday was the “real deal”. And it turned out pretty well.
As you can see, it’s quite chilly for Thanksgiving morning. Snow on the grill doesn’t bode well for outdoor Thanksgiving cooking.
This is the prepped turkey. It spent the night before soaked in brine, and then Carrie stuffed it with aromatics, and did a butter/olive oil rub under the skin.
The turkey on the grill. Cooked using the indirect method, with apple wood chips added for smoky goodness.
About two and a half hours later, the final result. Nice and crispy skin.
Here’s the carved bird, using the “butcher method”. We barely had any leftovers.
Carrie’s lovely table.
