More Bacon

[Pikeslayer8]

Hey everyone,

Thought that I would share a picture of my Thanksgiving Turkey (American version).

 

I threw on 2#'s of bacon on the top of the bird in a weave fashion. Roasted it in the oven @ 325* for 4 hrs. covered. Pulled off the foil for the last 15 minutes for browning.

 

Just crawling outta my bacon/turkey coma. But hey, it was worth it. Delicious!

 

 

 

 

 

Yea, happy belated Thanksgiving to the other southern outdoors-men that visit this awesome site. Mine was pretty good other than having my Mother-in-law visiting for 4 days. Ouch

[mistaredone]

Bacon-wrapped bird is always a smart choice. Love it...

[mercman]

You guys sure know how to eat. If i lived down there i would seigh 1000 lbs. That bird looks delicio. !!

I cook my Grouse in similar fashion, but one strip of bacon cut in half does the trick for them.

 

Looks good enough to eat!!

[Toad Hunter]

damn that thing looks good, but I see room for more bacon... perhaps in the stuffing... ?

[Pikeslayer8]

Awesome!

Thanks

Don't want to offend the NF internet police.

Thanks Mercman. I think that I honed my bacon cooking skills in Canada, however.

I'll come right out and say it. Bacon wrapped foul is the way to go for succulent birds.

Bacon wrapped Grouse.

Toad Hunter,

You so get me. Bacon in the stuffing. Marvelous.

Actually, I did.

[Toad Hunter]

You know where I stand on the bacon food group. - Everything else is a side dish

Bacon is healthier than probably 60-70% of the stuff in the grocery store.

 

Vegetables, meat, fruit, eggs...stay away from those middle aisles.

 

no whole wheat bread?

Bacon is meat candy

[Christopheraaron]

No sir!

 

 

 

 

 

Reasoning?

[BillM]

There is never enough bacon! MMMMMmmmm

[adolson]

It's bad for your health!

 

Are you a paleo guy?

[mercman]

Fat doesn't make you fat...we've been through this already with the bacon shortage thread

 

oh ya....so whats my excuse:dunno: ..................no...wait....don't answer that Sin:glare:

[Christopheraaron]

It's bad for your health!

 

You saying that bacon is better for you than multigrain bread, potatoes or oats?

[Christopheraaron]

Precisely.

 

 

 

 

Where are you getting your bacon?

[Christopheraaron]

I buy the gluten/nitrite/antibiotic/hormone free stuff.

 

It's more $ but tastes way better.

 

 

 

 

Can you take a photo of the cholesterol on the label?

[davey buoy]

Yesterday,cooked a big ham,already cooked I MUST SAY.Put in the oven for 1.5 hrs at 325*. My goddness,the outer edges,to die for!,only regret no bacon wrap. But it is a ham,soooooooo gooood!!!Best next thing!!!!!!!!!!

[Christopheraaron]

The cholesterol and saturated fat content is very high.

 

I'm not sure what you're getting at.

 

 

 

 

I'm just wondering why you think that grain products are so bad for you.

[adolson]

Probably one or several of the following: (?)

 

Potatoes

Bread

Rice

Pasta

Breakfast Cereal

 

I eat all of this stuff. In fact, I've eaten more of it in the last year and a half than I have the rest of my life, and I've lost between 100 and 120lbs in that time and feel so much better than I ever did. Can't be all THAT bad for you.

 

Over-eating is what makes you fat. If you eat 4000 calories a day, of anything - even just bacon, but your body and activity only burns 2500 calories a day, you're still going to gain weight. It's not magic, it's not a mystery; it's just how it works.

 

I have heard the paleo argument, and it's OK if you want to live like that. It may work well for you and others, and that's good. But I don't think it's for everyone. I need my carbs.

AND my bacon.

[misfish]

First off that looks SWEET.

 

I like to wrap my breasts with bacon.

 

 

Skinned goose breast,you dirty dogs.

 

If Im doing a turkey like that on the BBQ,it,s the same. Skin it and wrap with bacon. I try to get to my buddies place,so I can get that double smoked bacon.

 

 

As for the other NF, off topic stuff,,,,

 

Good on ya Dana.

 

When I did the weight loss. It was fish,chicken and greens.

 

Lots of cottage cheese and olives too.

 

Now that I did that and felt great,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I LOVE MY BACON.
