Jeff and I start eating turkey in October which is when I start testing different recipes. I have made so many different versions of turkey with so many different cooking methods, it is really hard for me to decide which I like best.
Here is a list of the different cooking methods I've done over the years and I'll rate them based on how easy they are and how good they were.

1. Whole Turkey in the pressure cooker (no crisping of skin): There are a few steps, including brining and if you want crispy skin that involves the oven most likely. The flavor is incredible.
Easy Rating: 7
Flavor Rating: 9

2. Sous Vide Boneless Turkey Breast: Super easy to make. Flavor and texture are perfect. If you have the ability to sous vide and air fry and only want to cook a boneless turkey breast versus a whole turkey, this is the way to go!
Easy Rating: 9
Flavor Rating: 9

3. Turkey Wellington: For when you want to be fancy! It's not hard to do, but not exactly easy either.
Easy Rating: 5
Flavor Rating: 10

4. Bone-in Turkey Breast, pressure cooked & air crisped: Fairly straightforward to make in the Ninja Foodi Pressure Cooker & Air Crisper.
Easy Rating: 8
Flavor Rating: 8

5. Smoked Turkey Breast on the Woodfire: I did this recipe more for lunchmeat, but the flavor and texture are outstanding and thicker slices were just as good!
Easy Rating: 8
Flavor Rating: 9

6. Slow Cooked Bone in Turkey Breast with an oven finish: This recipe hasn't been released, but I'm including it because it might just be the best one yet!
Easy Rating: 10
Flavor Rating: 9, but close to 10!
I used the Ninja Foodi Possible Pro Cooker on low and it took about 6 hours, I think it could be done on high for 2-3 hours, but. haven't tested that yet. The turkey was elevated on a rack so it didn't sit in the liquid. I finished it in the oven at a high heat to crisp the skin.

7. Oven Roasted: I don't have a recipe for oven roasted, but I have made so many and the best one was done at a low temp and cooked overnight. There is definitely something to cooking a turkey low and slow. There is less moisture loss and even if you overcook it (temps in the 180's F), it is still delicious and not dry at all.

This Thanksgiving I'm making Picana in the air fryer instead of turkey. Jeff and I are always turkeyed out by Thanksgiving. I'll be making another Turkey breast in the Possible Cooker this week!

Life is NEVER boring around here!
How in the world did this just happen? 😂

True story:
I'm sitting at my desk working when a gust of wind picks up the canopy that has been covering my Woodfire Grill for months and has been through all kinds of weather and even tornado warnings.
Today isn't that windy, yet off it went!
I looked everywhere around the house to see where it landed and couldn't find it anywhere! Low and behold, it's upright on the roof! 🤣🤣

As usual, I'm running out of time for getting out Thanksgiving recipes.
The following recipes are fully tested and ready to go, which one do you want me to focus on before Thanksgiving?

1. Pumpkin Pie Cookies: Regular Oven Recipe (I haven't taken a picture yet, but they look like little pumpkin pies in cookie form).

2. Cranberry Jelly (and Jam) made from the same bag of cranberries: Can be made in the Possible Cooker Pro, Ninja Foodi, Ninja Speedi, or on the Stove.

3. Slow Cooker Turkey Breast (bone-in): Made in the Possible Cooker Pro and finished in the oven.

I told Jeff that next year I'm going to start working on Thanksgiving recipes in June! 😂

I have had so many people ask me where I got my oil sprayers that I've been using recently that I thought I would share the link here.
Link to Purchase: https://amzn.to/3UJrRqo

They spritz really well and you can also pour oil from theme without removing the lid so they are dual purpose. I like the two-pack because you can use one for olive oil and another one for whichever neutral oil you love. I have avocado oil in my green one.
