here's a story about why - my dad is a child of sicilian immigrants, so they would usually have whatever stereotypical italian food at thanksgiving. when he was a kid, his oldest brother worked for a restaurant. one year, his brother brought home a turkey from the restaurant and my dad, having never had it before, stuffed himself on turkey.
he then proceeded to get sick from it, threw up, and never ate it again.

he carves a mean bird though. the end

I like your dad

you could spend thanksgiving eating prime rib and listening to big band music. and if you like stories about being a kid during the depression or being a member of an army band unit after WWII ended, he'd be in paradise.

describe the best bird you've ever eaten, fowlpal

i feel like we've perfected our turkey recipe, and it's really fairly simple. we use a turkey breast only, but i suppose it'd work for a whole turkey as well.

first in the herb aisle of the produce section, get a "poultry mix" which (i think) is sage, thyme, and rosemary.

cook up 3-4 strips of bacon, reserve the fat. when it cools, crumble/chop it up in to small bits.
chop up all the stuff in the poultry mix.

take about 3/4 stick of butter, the crumbled up bacon, and the chopped up green stuff. mash it together to make a paste. lift the skin of the bird and rub that shit all over.

take your reserved bacon fat and brush over the outside of the turkey.

roast it at whatever the standard roasting temp is (350?) for a couple hours or until a thermometer reads 165 or whatever the non-poisonous temp is.

wait 20 mins before carving.
