HamdenRice (1000+ posts) Wed Nov-26-08 06:36 PMOriginal message Anyone else going to dismantle the turkey before cooking it? This is my second year. I think I got the idea from a cooking show. The wings, thighs and drumsticks are so much better slow braised and the breast is so much better quick roasted, that if you cut up the turkey and cook the parts separately, you get neither the traditional dry breast, nor tough drumstick.Anyone else hooked on this method?

Hope so this year, too. after which a photograph of two tortured pet dogs, a perfect illustration why primitives should be prohibited from having pets

My father brine soaked a bird this year. It was probably one of the best that I can remember.
