Roasted

It's hard to beat a classic, and the traditional roast turkey has been the method of choice for many generations. This foodie claims to have The Best Turkey Recipe Ever, thanks to a simple brine and a few hours in the oven. But maybe you want to add a new twist on the classic roast bird. Mixing up the ingredients makes it easy. You can add a rich caramel sweetness and dark color by making this Balsamic-Glazed Roast Turkey with Pan Sauce or add some sweet tanginess with this Golden Cider-Roasted Turkey.

Grilled

Can't stand the heat in the kitchen? You can use your turkey-cooking duties as a great excuse to get outside and enjoy the cool air. There's no reason you can't cook the bird out on the grill. People love a good beer-can chicken, and it's easy to use that same method to make Beer-Can Turkey. On the other hand, nothing adds complexity and flavor quite like smoke, and smoking a whole turkey can be a major game changer for your holidays. Pack in the flavor with a brine and rub and smoke your bird low and slow with this Brined and Smoked Turkey recipe.

Fattened

One of the most effective ways to get flavor, juiciness, and great color out of your turkey is by adding some kind of fat under the skin. Most people use either cooking oil or butter, but you can get creative with the kind of fat you use to make your turkey truly unique. Consider this Bacon-Wrapped Turkey for the bacon-lovers in the house, but really, you can stuff almost anything fatty and tasty under the skin, like different kinds of sausage or cured meats, such as Michael Symon's Italian Turkey. Try it once, and you may never want turkey any other way again.

Fried

At least once in your life, you must try a fried turkey. It's simple and incredibly flavorful. You can find tons of different recipes to do this online, but the process is so simple, almost any of them will work, like this recipe for Deep-Fried Turkey. Also, you can advance your turkey dinner into the 21st century using the modern technology of air frying. You'll get an intense and juicy flavor without all the oil, but you will need to purchase an air fryer big enough for your bird. Here's just one example for Air-Fried Turkey.

Minimized

Finally, perhaps you're not interested in or not able to cook up a whole bird. That's okay, you can still create a great holiday feast with smaller parts. This Spinach Stuffed Turkey Breast recipe is both healthy and satisfying, and it pairs well with many different side items, both traditional and creative. If you're a fan of dark meat, these Braised Turkey Legs are easy to make and full of flavor.


However you decide to cook up your bird, we hope you have a pleasant holiday season and make great memories this year. If you have suggestions for other creative ways to cook turkey, give us a shout at Sears Imported Autos; seriously, we love turkey.
