I roast the turkey upside down; the juices fall into the white and doesn't dry out ;you lose the crispy skin on top but most people don't eat that anyway and you can enjoy the turkey b/c it is juicy that it doesn't need gravy.  happy thanksgiving

It's probably not a traditional Thanksgiving dish, but that doesn't mean that you can't have it on Thanksgiving.  If your family likes it, why not make it a Thanksgiving tradition at your house?

I would also believe it depends on the way you cook your turkey as well. there are so many variations now, baking, roasting, frying, etc. Each one of them lends itself to a different texture and look to the end product! It may be a combination of the two.

Why not?  It can be served as a "side dish" next to the turkey and just eaten in smaller servings.  It's not traditional, but if people will enjoy it, I say bon appetite!

I really cannot see how the word holiday is insulting...could it possibly be that you are merely whining because others are actually exercising their right to freedom in religion in the same way that Christians have been doing for an awful long time?  \n\nholiday is not religiously specific...and we all have the right to eat turkey and give gifts on December 25th for whatever reason we want...it doesn't have to have anything to do with Christ..it's just a nice tradition..like Thanksgiving...that I choose to participate in.\n\nYou can call it whatever you please, that's your right..but don't think for even a second that just because you 'believe' it makes you any more right than me...

Of course they celebrate, they get a day off being eaten. I'm sure they'd eat a turkey if they could take one down, it would have to be a team effort though.

I'm working today, just as I have every day of the week for the last 3 1/2 months.\nI do not think Good Friday should be declared a holiday (no pun intended).  The USA is basically a secular nation, as it should be.  Look around the world and see what kind of life people lead in theocracies like Saudi Arabia and Iran, and even in places like the Philippines where the church greatly influences government policy.\nPeople like James Madison and Thomas Jefferson, though they were Christians and deists, recognized the importance of separating church and state; Jefferson created the concept for us.  They would blanch at the thought of making religious festivities into official holidays.\nThe last time religion played a major role in the politics of the West, it was known as the "Dark Ages."

Happy Turkey day to you too.\nI work in a group home for mentally ill adults.  All my children are grown and have obligations to spouses families.  So I am working, cooking the MEAL for my clients and my Hubby and Grand daughter are joining me here.\nThese people get forgotten at this time of year.  So I do what I can.
