    And some where we agree totally.

    I lived in Versailles for six months, long enough that I had my current wife join me there. Every evening we would try a different dish at one of the many restaurants; gourmet heaven ! Our tour of the chateaux of the Loire was a similar feast for the eyes and tongue. And, of course, Paris was just a short train trip away. Quelle vie !

A properly smoked or deep-fried turkey (with your preferred flavor injection) I think can be compared to the difference between a nicely dry aged steak vs. a fresh one. That being said, we are having a ham today.
    I agree with both you and Frank on this. And I have a pork tenderloin in the Sous Vide right now... I like turkey, but I'm a cheap bastrich, and they're out of range for my current budget. The tenderloin was in the freezer, just had to dig a bit. SWMBO is ill enough that I'm cooking these days, even for holidays, so making a virtue out of necessity is a good thing! I do have a fish fryer, more or less the same thing as a turkey fryer but you provide your own pot. I bought it for melting lead, has never been used to cook any kind of food...

    Speaking of Sous Vide - I do the turkey in the Sous Vide - best turkey I have ever had...

    I break down the turkey into the large cuts, breasts, legs, thighs, wings. Put the breasts into one vacuum bag, legs and thighs in another, wings in another. Dark meat is 148F for 12 hours, light meat is 140F for 8 hours. Then into the refrigerator till a few hours before serving d id all that on Sunday. Then back into Sous Vide at 140 for a 1 hour warm up at 135F. After warmed, save juices for gravy, pat dry, put on baking sheet, a little olive oil on skin and under the broiler for 15-20 minutes and then serve...

    One of the best kitchen investments I ever made was my vacuum sealer. I like to take certain types and cuts of meat then rub or marinade them in a mixture of my favorite spices or homemade sauces allow to age in a refrigerator for a predetermined time then seal them label and date then freeze them for a later time, they can be cooked right in the pouch allowing extra time for them to thaw while cooking or thawed and cooked by whatever means I chose. The flavors are sealed in, the herbs & spices actually have a chance to add their unique flavors. Very few seasonings do much to enhance the flavor after cooking anything, they merely mask and otherwise often bland entre
