Slightly off topic again, but for anyone wanting to cook a turkey, I highly recommend doing it in a Weber kettle charcoal barbeque. I'm not a gormet chef, but I'm adept at following instructions, and I've cooked a turkey for Christmas the last 3 years following the instructions in a Weber cookbook, and they've turned out moist a juicy everytime. Even mum was impressed. And, you can add woodchip to give it a smokey flavour. I'll be doing that again this year, or maybe roast pork with crackling, or both even.

I even like it when the leftover turkey gets too dry from being in the fridge, or being microwaved too long, and it's like having homemade turkey jerky. So ghettolicious. Mmm. Dry turkey. I'm a huge fan as well. Don't like the dark meat either.

It's the thought that counts. Thanks, Juniper Heh I find it funny that you would get burned out on the stuff even though it's only one big meal a year. My mom makes the best cranberry bread. Sorry to miss out on this year. Come to think of it, I don't know if they have cranberry juice here. I did find this really yummy cranberrified Japanified tea that was quite nice.

Dry turkey? You people are crazy! Turkey has to be juicy!
Oh, and "Don't like the dark meat" -- that's poultry racism! Why I oughtta...

Heh - When I was little I used to practically drench my turkey in soysauce. That made it 'juicy.' Sort of. That's probably blasphemous on both the Irish and the Japanese side.
Think of it this way - the more I don't like dark meat, the more there is for you!

Well when you put it that way I suppose it doesn't sound so bad. Turkey drenched in soy sauce is just a crime against nature. Please tell me that's not why you went to Japan...

I'm not talking about the kind of turkey where it's overbaked, and so the breast meat becomes almost starchy and hard to chew. I'm talking about when it's leftover time, and it's full-on like jerky. haven't you ever over-microwaved some leftover turkey, and then been pleased with the end result? maybe it's just me....
if the turkey comes dry after being freshly cut/out of the oven, then i'll eat it, but while accumulating bitterness against whoever cooked it.
