My family never bought a whole turkey or even attempt at cooking  one as I was always told the drumsticks are too hard/chewy to eat. So... Thanksgivings for me is just another holiday that gets in the way / extra break time for me. :))

Do all Canadians shave their heads and dress up in formal attire to cook turkeys?

Haha, you're missing out I feel! The trick is to brine the turkey properly before roasting it, which will ensure the meat stays juicy  :thumb:

Welcome back to Canada btw, I'll have to find some time to visit you.

I've always wanted to go to The Fat Duck... definitely on my itinerary when I visit the UK.
