I do two 16 pound turkeys and sometimes two turkey breasts for the gaggle that comes over. The in-laws take one of the turkey breasts home along with some of the trimmings. We have enough turkey meat for giving some to every family that comes...along with all the trimmings.

Cooking the two turkeys along with the turkey breasts helps justify the cost of the peanut oil. Anyone else using anything else to cook the turkeys in?

I've got an infrared turkey cooker that I picked up last year....but the neighbor bought one and the turkey never was quite right. Haven't had the guts to test it yet.

Haven't tried the ham in the fryer yet....I'll have to experiment after Thanksgiving.

Tnip23 was right on the money with going out and smoking a good stick. Cooking a turkey in the cooker keeps me out of the wife's hair and of course, my dad, father in law, brother in laws, and sons all have a good time swapping lies and jokes with one another while we're "watching the turkey."
