That sounds like a great idea!
I may do the same if they go on sale!
Otherwise it will be a big old turkey!

Cornbread sage dressing w/ giblet gravy..... now ya talking holidays!!Been reading up on some good stuffing recipes. I like stuffing that can hold up for 3 days at least and tastes good heated in the microwave too.
Edit: giblets in stuffing is the bomb!
Our TG menu has become pretty standard the last few years. Even if it is just my wife and I, we still make all of the following.
1. Injected and brined bird, smoked on a turkey cannon.
2. Mixed green salad with oil and sweet balsamic vinegar dressing.
3. Mashed sweet potatoes (made from the extra sweet potatoes used for the sweet potato pie filling)
4. Mashed russets, if my wife makes them.
5. Gold potatoes, onions, carrots, garlic, and celery smoked in the drip pan for the turkey.
6. Cornbread stuffing cooked in the oven.
7. Turkey gravy made from the fat in the veggie drip pan.
8. Fresh green beans with home-cured Canadian bacon or buckboard bacon, whatever I have in the freezer.
9. Roller's Amish bread rolls with butter.
10. Pumpkin and Sweet Potato pies with fresh whipped cream for dessert.
I love smoked turkey, but the best part is New Years when you use the carcass and make smoked turkey gumbo!
I am thinking of smoking a bone in Prime-Rib
once you start frying turkeys you never wanna go back lol... at least with my family that's how it isI went 'deep fried' with my turkey last year, and it turned out so well that I'll be using that again this Thanksgiving. But I am considering smoking a ham to go with the turkey as well.
