Thanksgiving Food traditions

My mom makes the family recipe lasagna which acts as an appetizer....and it is a large piece.

I order a organic free range turkey, brine it for a couple days, and cook it in a smoker with pecan smoke

Store bought turkeys are filled with salt water and as such can't take on much of the brine. These turkey I order isn't filled like that so it really soaks up the flavor of the brine....makes for an amazingly flavorful and tender bird

“I don’t want one of those store bought birds soaked in salt water so I can soak my bird in salt water. “
