I’ve had turkey just about every possible way it can be cooked, and it just isn’t that good.
Doesn’t matter how juicy or dry and it doesn’t matter what herbs or spices are used, it just not that tasty.
Give me a brisket or a standing rib roast or just about anything that isn’t turkey for thanksgiving.
Have made/had so many and I agree. Heirloom to butterball, all type of seasonings and cook styles. End of the day it’s turkey. We do prime rib now depending on crowd size will still add turkey for the purists.
I do duck. Delicious, but only feeds three or four people. Wouldn’t be too hard to do two ducks, of course.
