Turkey done modder's style

[Drum Thumper]

This is a worklog of sorts. And this also harkens back to my bachelor days :D.

First off, a recipe that I have perfected (imo anyway)

Andouille Apple Pecan Stuffing
1 lb. day old bread, cubed in 1" pieces
~1.5 lbs. Andouille sausage, ground
3 stalks celery, diced
1 medium onion, diced
1 apple of your choice, diced
1/2 cup of Pecan pieces
1 can Chicken Broth
1 Tbsp olive oil

In a small (~1.5 to 2 qt) stockpot over medium high heat, brown sausage for 5 minutes, then add onion, celery, apple, and pecan pieces and saute for ~5 minutes more. Add bread cubes and chicken broth. Stir and stuff bird.

Since this 14 lb bird is stuffed, I'm roasting it @ 350 F for 3 and a half hours (best to figure 15 minutes per lb @ 350 for a stuffed bird).

And now for the modding!


One of these years, I'll attempt a Turducken (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turducken), but not this year. Anyways...

Stuffing. My favorite part of dinner!

And here's where it gets a PG-13 rating:

Yes. A bikini. With the wife's blessings no less!

And the bikini bottom!

Another update in roughly 3.5 hours, as this bird is in the oven!

And Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

you are a disturbed man.


I should sneak some LED's with me to turkeydeath and get pictures of my "modded" dinner.

[crenn]

I don't think he's disturbed, just a little bored xD

The only reason I came to this thread was to see some naked breasts.
You just ruined my day.

Now that's not only a classic line, it's my new sig.

Thanks!

Seriously though, you better show me some close ups when that bikini comes off! :p

Patience, young grasshopper. She's getting the tanning bed treatment as we speak! :p

[crenn]

You better not forget to baste that bird.

[Drum Thumper]

You better not forget to baste that bird.

Might be kinda hard to do that--the 'bikini' as it is is not attached. I'll give it a go here in a bit and give an update, as I think I know how to keep it in place.

Edit: Basting won't be a problem as long as I'm gentle. No problems there!

[Drum Thumper]

And now the moment you've all been waiting for:

I'm beginning to think that the original picture was photoshopped.

Oh well, it's still tasty!

[crenn]

Damn that looks good

[Aero]

yuumm.. I just finished the turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, ravioli, salad, sweet potatoes, corn, cranberry sauce and gravy part of the meal.

Now the hour wait before the pie[chocolate, and pumpkin], cookies[several types], cake, jello, ice cream, pumpkin tiramisu, and cannoli part of the meal.

Whats bad is I know I'm forgetting a few thing too...darn tryptophan,

[SgtM]

Thumper, you're a freak man! (in a good way) That bird looks incredible, and I'm going to have to try that stuffing one of these days. +rep after I spread it around.

That stuffing will tickle your tonsils on the way down--andouille is a Cajun pork sausage for those of you who don't know.

I also make a bitchin (so I've been told) Turkey gumbo. If anyone wants that recipe, PM me.

Hilarious outfits those birds are wearing in these parts. Making me jealous with all this food talk, I fell asleep in the library and slept right through then damned cafeteria hours!!! #$@!*^&%#!!!!!! Snickers it is. By the way, where is the worklog for this fine project?

[NightrainSrt4]

Mmmmm... that looks good. Now I want more food lol.

Just had dinner with the girlfriends moms thanksgiving, and less than a half hour later had a dinner with her dad. Needless to say I had two plates of food. (We have thanksgiving with my family tomorrow, couldn't fit 3 dinners in one day with the hour plus drive between homes.)

Then I had four pieces of pie lol. Apple, Chocolate Cream, Pumpkin, and Blueberry. There is a Pecan Pie just waiting to be tasted as well.

Well Happy Thanksgiving to everyone, even if you don't celebrate it, have a great day. And I send my hope and such out to everyone that may not be as blessed as I am. Typing what I ate made me a little sad thinking about others. So I just only hope the very best for you. Im not a religious person, but I send my prayers and thoughts out to those who are in need. Happy Thanksgiving.

Hell Joe,

You should submit that to the front page under "submit content" and call it a blog. When I get home I'll publish it.

Seconded.. you have to do it now.

[Drum Thumper]

While I didn't have the blog option, it did get submitted.

Hope everyone's ready for some Black Friday madness!

For reference, here's what I was aiming for:

I might try this with a chicken in the near future just to see if this picture was indeed photoshopped.

[jdbnsn]

Put bacon over where you want the bikini to be. Trust me on this *grins*

I had a hard time clicking the next button because I was laughing so hard at the http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d146/drumthumper5150/bikiniturkey.jpg. I'm definitely doing a bikini turkey next year. I love it. My Mother-in-law is going to hate me. Oh well.
