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
so true. They think they’re so cool just because they’re a part of the EU, but they are like, the worst countryin the EU club, and mostly seem to have wanted in so they could keep everyone else out.
They are not part of the EU.
Seems like a lot of people just have no clue how to cook food. I’m not a big fan of turkey but it’s pretty good if you cook it correctly with seasonings.
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.
Tell me you’ve only ever had overcooked turkey without saying you’ve only had overcooked turkey. Moistness is not a certain sign of properly cooked.
I’m going to agree with you. Turkey is just not that great.
Agreed. Turkey was a fine meal for settlers. Better things to eat nowadays. “But…but… it’s tradition!” they say. Well, so is the Running of the Bulls in Spain and most people wouldn’t do that!
Smoked turkey fajitas. That’s the answer.
Most Thanksgiving food isn’t that good. If it was, we’d eat it more than once a year.
Stuffing is delicious and I will eat it all the time.
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 …
Yeah and everyone needs to start calling Germany Deutschland.
Or Little Turkey lol
Is that unpopular though?
Who even eats turkey asides from Americans on thanksgiving?
Thanksgiving is very American, but turkey is a common christmas dinner in the UK at least, and probably fairly common across Europe
But that only proves OP’s point. Turkey is almost always only eaten on a holiday because it’s a tradition, and basically no one ever chooses to eat it when they’re deciding what to eat for any other regular meal during the year
That just not true, people eat turkey all the time. Every sandwich shop has a turkey sandwich year round. Now do people cook a 15-20 pound turkey regularly? Absolutely not because it’s time consuming and you would need a gathering every time because a normal size family is not gonna eat that much food hence why we cook them a few times a year.
