Michael Grant is a journalist/writer living in La Mesa. And he's giving out solutions on this here day before Thanksgiving: what should we do about relocating the airport AND what should we do about relocating a turkey (to our bellies!)?
Our current airport relocation advice is: leave it where it is.
Regarding the turkey, a fresh bird (not frozen, or previously frozen) is best, about 18 pounds. You will need a large syringe, used originally by large-animal veterinarians but now a popular item in kitchenware stores and catalogues. And you will need a Weber kettle cooker, the 22-inch size, and a bag of charcoal briquets laced with mesquite. With the syringe, inject into the bird’s breasts and thighs a mixture of melted butter, chicken stock, and a couple tablespoons of sherry. In this mixture, saturate a clean dishcloth and place it over the bird.
Thank you Michael Grant. Now if you would just come to my house and cook my turkey so I don't have to get up at 6 in the morning.
