I'll send you the list tomorrow. But I can't explain the nuances of making it. I do it by smell and look.

I was never a do it cheap guy. Or sell it cheap. Between the extra hauling and time on phone we decided that it was worth a bit more than driving down to the sale barn. Back at our peak we would raise about 15-20 a year and generally had a waiting list. It was never going to be a full income but as my grandfather would say, it gave us a few nickels to rub together. Not sure why one would rub nickels together mind you but the colonel had his sayings. One of them was “Don’t be a farmer.” Wise man. Wise man.

Bought a turkey deep fryer, think I will give it a shot and see how it goes.. anybody have one?

Make sure the turkey is frozen solid and you cook it in your kitchen

The year we deep fried turkeys I was the only one who liked it, so the fryer sits in the attic.

I could eat my weight in stuffing each year.

Pierogi as an appetizer is great, but time consuming, if made from scratch.

The local sports bar offers smoked turkey; again, I was the only one who loved it. Whatever, I'll eat the roaster turkey.

We were just wondering what actual wild turkey tastes like. The flock that wanders around the farm was nine or ten this summer. I know guys who hunt turkey, but have never tasted their birds.

Like the inebriated rodent said about pork, commercial poultry and wild poultry are almost different species now.

Smoked turkey is a treat. That's what I ordered this year.

I picked up mashed sweet and white potatoes from Costco today. Their in house mashed potatoes are awesome. Eat them as is or tweak them with cheese/garlic/etc.

Have you had heritage bred turkey? Like Bourban red or black Spanish? We had that one year, about the closest thing to wild you can get without it being wild. Would not recommend for most part. Smoked would be okay but much like you, I’m the only one in house who likes smoked bird (although my daughter will tolerate it). Every year we have more and more wild turkeys on farm. Maybe next year I’ll grab a permit.

Ive had wild turkey a dew times, I liked it..others thought it was too gamey.

Thinking of doing deviled eggs and pirogue for Thanksgiving apps

I loved deviled eggs if the recipe is right.

I've tried those ones you can buy in the store. Awful. And yet, I'll see them, remember how much I love deviled eggs and buy them again, fully knowing they suck but also somehow hoping I'll finally find a brand that is good.

I can't get behind the olive slice on top though. First thing to remove.

Olive slice on deviled eggs? I’m Not sure I’ve ever seen that.

No

_________________

Lil bit of chopped anchovy in the mix. Like a Caesar salad without the fruity vegetables. No olives in sight.

_________________

Olives, prosciutto, and lobster are all good on deviled eggs. All should be chopped pretty well though. Olives are briny goodness.

Does pineapple go on deviled eggs?

How about a Hershey's kiss?

No.

I wouldn’t do pineapple but I don’t like sweet food that’s not dessert.

My aunt does capers chive smoked salmon. People like it

'twas a joke.


Candied bacon goes on deviled eggs...obviously

_________________

I’ve also seen candied jalapeños

This gets requested for me to make every year now.

I do it on a pizza stone. I don't have the deep dish baking stone they reference there.

It could be done in the oven too. I think we did that one year when the weather was poor.

That'd be great

We've got a supervisor at work who loves to smoke stuff and bring it in- his smoked, hard boiled eggs are the favorite. Doc, maybe this would be up your alley with the smokefest going already, and no good deviled egg recipe. I gave him two dozen duck eggs from my buddy last time, being much larger, they are a hit.

Are they hard boiled, peeled, then smoked?

_________________

I've heard of that before. I'd give it a go.

Some things take on smoke so easily - it's too much even for me. That feels like it would be one.

But, as Steve Martin said in The Jerk, as long as I have a voucher.....

Jet- yes, I understand normal hard boiling then about five minutes in the smoke. I could be wrong with the time, it's been a while since I asked, but they certainly take on smoke color in the outer part fo the whites. Served with horseradish sauce, or your condiment of choice.

Doc- I am pretty sure he said only five minutes, but you should be able to tell by color of the eggs, I would think (I know, racist). They have grill marks only on one side usually, so no turning involved.

Zip- None of the supervisors nor fellow employees indulge in FF's type of herb, and we're all regularly tested to prove so. Now MANY have been known to imbibe some of the spirits, now and again. There is a strict five-hour bottle-to-throttle rule, again, tested routinely.
