I’ve had turkey just about every possible way it can be cooked, and it just isn’t that good.

Doesn’t matter how juicy or dry and it doesn’t matter what herbs or spices are used, it just not that tasty.

Give me a brisket or a standing rib roast or just about anything that isn’t turkey for thanksgiving.

    Tell me you’ve only ever had overcooked turkey without saying you’ve only had overcooked turkey. Moistness is not a certain sign of properly cooked.

        Nah fam this is like the “I don’t like vegetables” crowd who’ve only had boiled or steamed vegetables and thinks that’s the only way they taste

          “I don’t like vegetables” vs “I prefer other meats to turkey” is vastly different. I agree that the I don’t like vegetables people are dumb, but comparing that to this is a huge straw man. I guarantee you that I would vastly prefer the best brisket in the world to the best turkey.

      If it’s that hard to cook most people haven’t had it and liked it… it’s still bad. It’s easy to cook a delicious chicken in an air fryer.

        That’s like saying that poison fish (fugu?) isn’t good because the average joe can’t prepare it without killing the whole dinner party.

          To be fair, I have had fugu in Japan and it is incredibly bland. People are only interested in it because it’s poisonous if you don’t prepare it just right.
