Need an alternative for turkey for Thanksgiving?


 
ive made hams instead of turkey before for thanksgiving. turkey isnt a special holiday food as i cook them year round usually at least once a month or so. usually turkey isnt on our holiday menu unless the wife and i are having guests or she just wants a turkey for such. turkeys i cook are always smoked. oven roasting is just wrong. im not a fan of eating rubber birds.

when i cook them i tend to remove the breast bone and cook em layed out flat ribs down skin up.
 
Thanks John. My family would hit the roof if we didn't have 'bird' for Thanksgiving. Sounds good for Christmas or New Years.
 
Mom's doing the turkey for T-day,so I don't have a choice. We are having a smoked bird for Christmas. Yes! But it seems like all the grocery stores in the area have rib roasts on sale, so I'm doing a rib roast this weekend. Thanks for the t-day gift card boss!

It's sure not like I have a choice either! My daughter is 19 and a complete traditionalist. Nothing but a turkey would be remotely acceptable. That's OK, they are wonderful and it's a great day for our small family.
 
when living in hawaii, many of our thanksgiving were a lot of differant foods except turkey. i like turkey and don't cook it enough so now i look forwards to it. especially turkey soup !
