It's time for turkey, and if you've never cooked yours outdoors, let this be the year. With my Ultimate Turkey recipe and detailed technique, you can't fail, and you'll never go back to roasting it indoors. And no, you don't need a fancy smoker to make a great smoked turkey.
Even if you must cook yours indoors, there are a number of tips and techniques you can employ that will amp your indoor bird. My turkey page covers everything you need to know from how to pick a bird, fresh or frozen, size, cooking tools, brining, wood for smoke, gravy, stuffing, side dishes, cooking temp, timing of events, secrets of crispy skin, carving, leftovers, and the best wines to serve with the meal.
The result will be a magnificent looking, dark mahogany avian, with incredibly tender and juicy meat delicately and elegantly flavored with savory herbs and seductive smoke.

Autumn is apple time, and apples are great on a salad. Grilling them just adds excitement. You can just slice them and grill them, but give them a little butter and, well, oh my. You can prepare this recipe well in advance and assemble it at the last minute. This is my favorite Thanksgiving salad.

It's tailgate season and I've had a chance to cook on the ultimate tailgate grill, the new GoGalley. Packed with innovation, this is the best rig I've ever seen for tailgating or camping. The GoGalley is a single unit that contains a grill, a smoker/oven, a side burner, large work surfaces, storage, and a trailer hitch. But that is like saying an F-22 is a jet with some weapons. But GoGalley is not just for football games. Heck it is even a fine backyard setup. Click here to read my review of this remarkable new tool.
