Yeah I missed my calling. I should have been a chef but I just never found pleasure in cooking for others because I had to versus wanting to. My wife and I love to entertain and hosting dinner parties is something that we do quite often. Of course the kitchen is and always will be a second home to me, the reward comes from others enjoying my flavorful main dishes and tantalizing deserts.

HEY, thats almost what I do. People look at me crazy when they see me throwing in lemons,oranges, etc. My gma taught me that. I also pull up the skin on the top and sides and load him up with butter!!!
(not too much, just enough to make very moist and the skin a little crunchy!!! OH I LOVE that part.
Do you aim for 160 degrees or 180?? My gma taught me to hit somewhere in the middle as not to over cook. Thats the biggest mistake.....and I never rely on the "pop-up" thingy.
The pies are being made tomorrow. Oh its gonna smell so good

I hit 160 and let it the heat finish on its own. Taking it out of the oven and leaving it sealed will let it slowly finish cooking without overcooking it.

Sounds delicious to me and will taste even better ! By the way ,I'm frying two turkeys in the deep fryer that my wife brought from Walmart . She'll do the seasoning though .

Here's how I'm cooking mine, it's a great recipe:
1.) Get up at like 11am, sleeping in really helps the process.
2.) Driving myself and my son to my dad's place 1/2 hour away.
3.) Sitting down and eating.
I'm sure there's a step in there somewhere that I've missed, like making coffee, but that about sums it up. Feel free to spread this recipe around to anyone who might want to use it!

I am curious to see if this works as well as it does with chicken. It works great with chicken , but I wonder if thats too much time in oven for the can??
fishy.....

Soak it in a brine overnight,
inject it in the morning with whatever herb marinade you like,
then throw it into the smoker for the rest of the day.....

What you do is use a can opener on the can of beer and ram the but of the chicken on the open side of the beer so the legs are hanging down and the chicken is standing up then you put it on the bbq or smoker or whatever. and the beer evaps into the meat! I'm gonna have to try that on a turkey!
