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.
Thought you were talking about the country at first
Consider this: the strong association of turkey with Thanksgiving means that you’re not expected to eat it any any other time.
Well done turkey (and I’ve had it done well) is very good. I have sliced turkey sandwiches the rest of the year. It is a lot leaner than fatty brisket/ribs too.
Goose is the better turkey.
Also duck.
It is called Türkiye - Turkish people are quite adamant about it by now… I consider it silly though …
