Pikeslayer8 Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopheraaron Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopheraaron Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopheraaron Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adolson Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
