25 Turkey Recipes for your Thanksgiving Table

I know I started with pie (because who doesn't like to sneak a little dessert first every once in a while), but today it's all about the TURKEY! I know there are people out there who don't like turkey, but for me...and the rest of my family...it's not Thanksgiving without turkey on the table. I plan my entire meal around the flavors that I'm infusing into the turkey on any given year.

And while I love a whole roasted turkey, I don't mind switching it up and cooking a broken down turkey in the oven or even a slow-roaster. Are you a fried turkey kind of family? Maybe you like yours smoked or grilled? Or do you make use of your crockpot to free up the oven for the side dishes?

I say TO EACH THEIR OWN (TURKEY)! Here's 25 delicious ways to bring the bird to your table this year.
