Pikeslayer8 Posted November 26, 2012 Report 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
Live2fish85 Posted November 26, 2012 Report Posted November 26, 2012 Man does that look good. I think I am going to have to get me some bacon and a turkey soon haha.
Joey Posted November 26, 2012 Report Posted November 26, 2012 Oh man, that looks sooooo gooood!!! I'm gonna have to try that
funfishing Posted November 26, 2012 Report Posted November 26, 2012 You know, one NF would have sufficed I've never seen anything like this before, sure looks good though
Joeytier Posted November 26, 2012 Report Posted November 26, 2012 Bacon-wrapped bird is always a smart choice. Love it...
mercman Posted November 26, 2012 Report Posted November 26, 2012 You guys sure know how to eat. If i lived down there i would seigh 1000 lbs. That bird looks delicio. !!
danc Posted November 26, 2012 Report Posted November 26, 2012 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 Posted November 26, 2012 Report Posted November 26, 2012 damn that thing looks good, but I see room for more bacon... perhaps in the stuffing... ?

Bacon wrapped foul is the way to go for succulent birds. Bacon wrapped Grouse.

Actually, I did.
Toad Hunter Posted November 26, 2012 Report Posted November 26, 2012 You know where I stand on the bacon food group. - Everything else is a side dish

adolson Posted November 26, 2012 Report Posted November 26, 2012 On 11/26/2012 at 9:05 PM, Sinclair said: 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 Posted November 26, 2012 Report 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.
