How many ways to cook a turkey?

[msmofet]

Well, I know enough to set my Coffee Cup safely away from my mouth Before starting this vid. I had to turn the volume all the way up. Between their laugh track and my laughing it was hard to hear.

Ahhh, thanks for the morning.

"Oh the Humanities!!"

My mom and I almost wet our pants when we saw that episode when it aired the first time. It is STILL pants wetting material today!!

I just bought a hand-operated meat grinder and someone told me to grind up the turkey with some ham. Maybe grind once for each, add together with spices and grind again. And then wrap it in the turkey skin and bake. They didn't go into details, I wanted to try this with maybe 3/4 of the bird and use the rest for jerky. Could someone comment on this method? Maybe make suggestions for spices to use. I'm thinking for starters:

onion and garlic powder
season salt
black pepper
cayenne pepper
worcestershire sauce
soy sauce
