Here are some basic ideas for a family favorite.  Don't limit yourself to these ideas, try some of your own!  Experiment! Enjoy!

1) Teriyaki Turkey - With a little soak time for maranading, I like about 12 to 16 hours, makes for a tangy, moist bird, especially when pineapple and orange slices are laid out on the skin.

2) BBQ Turkey Wings - I call them "Dragon Wings." Bigger than chicken drum-lets, the guys go wild for these Frank's Red Hot soaked bad boys.  For those with tummy issues you can cut the hot sauce 50/50 with ranch or bleu cheese dressing.  Again, marinade overnight.

3) Smoked Turkey - Sounds like cheating, but you can take a turkey to a smoke house and have it smoked for an amazing feast at no effort for next to no cost per pound. Wonderful flavor, minimal sugar.

Hopefully these ideas give a new life to this old bird, and the thanksgiving recipes will be a little more interesting for all involved next year. Who knows, maybe turkey will become a year round hit at your house you culinary genius.
