If it wasn't tied up in holiday traditions, would anyone

I hate how turkey fucking tastes, I just like making them cuz it's impressive when executed properly.

It of course involves more work than chicken due to being overall blander and more unwieldy due to size. But with a brine, stuffing it with herbs and spices, and carefully watching the temperature, I think it does justify the work.

Its a holiday. And turkey isnt that hard to cook. Not sure what OP is so wound up about.

The problem is that your family didn't know how to make them. A well made turkey is delicious, and for practical purposes serves more people than a chicken would.

Drown the bird in pisco, lemon water, and put in some good stuffing with ground beef

Literally sex in your mouth.

My favorite meal is turkey, ham, stuffing, and mashed potatoes

Turkey is my favorite part

Mommy doesn't cook...mostly. On holidays she mostly orders everything. I can't remember her ever roasting a turkey the way I've seen in media my whole life.

I've had turkey that I made, turkey that relatives who are excellent cooks made, turkey in restaurants, turkey in delis, etc. I wanted to like it but the honest truth is that it's fucking bland.

Turkey ham is boss

Protip: pheasant. Thank me later.
