We went to the new home of our friends that just moved here from Idaho for T-day. Had a great time and a wonderful turkey dinner so Friday was our day for the turkey cook at home.
We’ve done this Weber recipe for thanksgiving the past three years on the performer and really like it.

This year I thought I’d try my Weber kettle gasser because it does whole chickens perfectly, I thought I would give it a try.
Thursday before we went to our friend’s home we got all the sides made except the green beans and rolls for our Friday cook.
Thursday started off fairly well until disaster struck and a trip to the emergency room at the local hospital was needed.
Barb was slicing some yams when her finger got in the way. Six stiches and two hours later we were back at it.
Friday
The kettle gasser did an excellent job a 15 pound bird done to perfection in a little over two hours. Used apple for the smoke.
Super moist and tasty.
Barb did the yams, homemade honey cheddar cheese rolls, green beans with homemade bacon and from scratch pumpkin pie
I did the fresh cranberries with mandarin oranges and the dressing.
Except for the oranges nothing out of a can or box and was it ever good.
Here’s a few pictures of the cook.
Credit goes to so many forum members that have shared their experience, wisdom and recipes on here. Barb and I are thankful for that because almost everything in our dinner was learned from this forum.
