    i know it sounds like a wierd question. most folks just roast them, but there are lots of different ways to do it.

    this year my dad actually grilled the bird whole! i thought it sounded like a dumb idea, and when he brought it inside it had a harsh smell of woodsmoke....

    but it was pretty delicious!

    i've heard a lot of folks will even deep fry their turkeys! such a wierd idea to me.




    so how do you normally prepare turkey? and do you get a whole raw bird, or those big wierd smoked turkey breast roasts?

    i recently thought that a turkey pizza might actually be good! i want to try it, but since our turkey was grilled and not roasted it wouldnt lend itself well to this cause of the smokey flavor and smell. but roast turkey breast with onion and red bell peppers and stuff sounds pretty good to me.

    i don't know what my mom does, all i know is her process involves a frozen turkey, bacon to go on the skin and an oven.

    turkey bacon is my favourite part of the turkey.

    my aunt always makes the turkey for the family
    i guess she just buys a frozen turkey, and a turkey breast and puts it in the oven for like 5 hours

    my grandma always does our dinners, she has her ways and it's always amazingly great year after year

    I am curious to try a deep fried turkey though, but it's pretty much an unheard of thing in Canada it seems, gotta go south for that :p

    Today, it was roasted. My dad always has one smoked (Thanksgiving again on Sunday!) and for Christmas, my mom is deep-frying one...
    I've heard of turkey on the grill, never had it, but my cousin's boyfriend does them like that and everyone says it's awesome.

    Digital, I had deep fried turkey last year, when I still lived in BC, at my husband's staff party. It was good, but nobody ate much 'cause we all got filet mignon for our main course.

    i'm really not a big fan of turkey in general besides some good dark meat

    Ham is where it's at, usually for christmas/thanksgiving we have both

    My mom and grandma bake a fresh not frozen naturally raised turkey. Fill it with stuffing, add seasoning, and bake.

    Don't they celebrate thanksgiving earlier in Calgary than the rest of Canada or something like that... I thought I read that they celebrate it with the first harvest which is usually like the first week of November?
