skim milk is more healthy for you so you should feel good about it

doesn't matter how anything tastes anymore- just as long as its healthier



buy the regular milk and enjoy it...live a little

I like chocolate milk and could drink a gallon a day



open faced turkey sandwiches use to be one of my favorites !!

I did it for the first time tonight, but intentionally so as I didn't want to thaw the turkey before cooking

I brined and smoked last years turkey. It was a fresh turkey, don't remember the brand, but it was very tasty! It was the first time I did one on the BGE as I usually use the off-set smoker. I used Kingsford charcoal mixed with cherry chunks.

That looks amazing! I need to try that method sometime.

I’ve had a fresh turkey, and most of the grocery store frozen brands. They all come out good, but I don’t think the fresh turkey is so much better that it justifies the cost.

you are correct...in fact just like fish fillets....I believe frozen can be fresher and safer...

thanksgiving time they are processing a 100 million turkeys...…..and if its fresh you have 4 days to sell....so from the processor trucked to the warehouse....received and slotted can be an easy 2-3 days ….then to the store... the store is screwed if he/she can only put 2 days on fresh turkeys....thats why they are allowed to be transported I believe at 26 degrees use to be zero degrees... and they can be as chilled/frozen as a frozen turkey at 1.00 more per pound because it says fresh..


ive always been please with marvel, shadybrook, jennie o butterballs, jaindls .. Plainville,

Good to know. I will add that I prefer a turkey that hasn’t been shot up with faux butter, or whatever it is, a turkey shouldn’t need that.

Hmmm. I just remembered I have some turkey thighs in the freezer. That sounds like dinner.

I usually choose Butterball.

But doing a dry brine makes a turkey really good. That’s the way I do them now. You let the bird sit uncovered in the fridge with the salt brine mix for a couple or three days.

People always respond favorably to it.

I don’t think the brand makes that much differance.
