I am thankful for the turkey on Thanksgiving day.

Rotisserie cooked turkey
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I look forward to turkey and football during a nice day off. I also enjoy turkey sandwiches on the days following thanksgiving.
This thanksgiving season provided the opportunity for me to have lots and lots of turkey. Of course, I had the conventional oven roasted prepared bird. I also sampled a grilled and a rotisserie cooked turkeys this week. Although all forms were very delicious without any complaints, the grilled turkey was my favorite. The grilled turkey was slow cooked and injected during the cooking process. The meat was very moist and has the best flavor that I have tasted in a turkey.
Besides not being dried out and having a delicious taste of smoke flavor, the biggest advantage of grilling a turkey is it frees up your oven for all those other side dishes so important for your Thanksgiving meal.

An advantage to rotisserie cooking is the juices remain in the bird and basting or injecting is not necessary. Although rotisserie grilling is very similar to oven roasting, the process does not heat the interior of the turkey as quickly as oven roasting. A longer cooking time is needed to make sure that turkey is cooked thoroughly.
Another popular method is deep frying. This is a quicker and more dangerous way to prepare your turkey. The required oil may cost as much as the turkey, but the flavor is excellent. Deep-frying makes the turkey crispy on the outside and very juicy on the inside.
