My wife didnt like the smokey dripping gravy i made last year so we just made plain ol chicken gravy

 

Can’t complain about some good ol chicken gravy!!

 

Its def good too!

 

My family love mine. I did dilute it with chicken broth, though.

 

my wife is kinda picky...i think the gravy was decent

 

Temp and time lol. I don’t know what either are off the top of my head. But if you cook the bird at a certain temp for a certain amount of time it kills all the bad bacteria, even if your bird comes out with a pink color. I.e. color is not a good indicator of doneness of your bird

Turkey was good. Can't stop thinking of Prime Rib

 

Prime rib is good also. Just a bit expensive unless you catch a sale

 

I try to shoot for 160 to pull it out, but it looked done on mine at 153. I pulled at 157 breast and 177 thigh and it was perfect after a 30 minute rest. My bird was 12.17 pounds and smoked at 220 for 5 hours

 

For a holiday type of meal I need the gratification that beef gives. I'm just not a poultry guy.

 

I may have been too nervous. My bird was 14.5 lbs, smoked at 300 for about 4.5 hrs and rested 30 mins.

 

What were your meat temps?

 

160 - 165. I just didn't like the look of the legs when I pulled them off, but was probably fine.

 

They probably were
