I'm doing two turkeys this year and then either some ribs or
. I plan on a light oak or apple smoke to about 130 degrees then pull the bird, bag it and finish it off in the NESCO roaster while bird #2 goes on my WSM. After done, I will unbag the bird and back in the Nesco with the air fan so it's a convection oven also, to crisp the skin.
The Air Fan feature of the NESCO is great to brown in the roaster oven, even bread and pies cook in the roaster and brown nicely with the Air Fan.
I had 5 turkeys from last year's sales in the freezer. I had the meat counter cut the frozen turkeys in half and stored them that way, so I cooked half a turkey at a time. They cook quicly that way and I eat half a turkey a month easily without getting overwhelmed with it, being single, half a turkey is a lot of meat. I've done the half turkey thing for about 30 years now.
