And it costs a lot more. I was in Kroger today and saw huge turkeys @ <$20!

I recently cooked one using a Traeger pellet smoker/grill. It was the greatest turkey I had ever tasted. They sold a brine and pellet kit with it. I brined it for 24 hours then added seasoning and smoked it for 2 hours then cooked it for 2.
Turkeys are so cheap right now I'll probably pick up an additional smaller one and smoke it on my kettle grill in the near future!

Whole birds roasted in the oven are still my favorite, and a convection oven makes it far faster and better, too.
I think it is good to let the turkey come to room temperature and cook it quicker and hotter, rather than starting with it cold and cooking longer and slower.
And - always cook the dressing on the side - stuffing the body cavity makes even cooking almost impossible!

Frying can be good, but it is trickier than people think.

Thank you for the helpful tip!

The stuffing issue can be resolved by SLI-n 2 smaller turkeys instead of 1 big one.

We hunt the turkey ourselves , so we can't really choose smaller turkeys.
In addition, over 20+ people come over to my family's cottage so we've got a lot to feed. Definitely not deep frying that turkey again. Big mistake!

If you are going to fry, do the smaller ones and don't overcook, they can finish surprisingly quickly.

We first shoot the turkey to death, and then we stuff it (😳😳😳😳😳😳) , cook it for about 2-3 hours and then put it on table
Shoot .. to death :eek:
