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.
I never had turkey (it simply is not a thing here), but I guess with a dish that is a) only made once per year and b) size-wise far out of the ordinary daily cooking experience, this will lead to a lot of below average experiences.
It’s basically a giant chicken with minimal flavor. It tastes of whatever seasoning you use, just like some shitty supermarket tofu.
