Your turkey plate looks delicious
I called it relish because I thought it was called that in the USA. I assumed it was the same as cranberry sauce in the UK. It looks the same.Is it different from cranberry sauce which is what I make?

Possibly US cranberry relish is sweeter than the UK one.

We had Thanksgiving (for 14) today to accommodate everyone's schedules. I smoked one turkey and started another in the oil-less fryer, but the wind was insane and kept blowing the flame out on the fryer. Even after I rigged a tarp up to shield it, the wind still stripped the heat from it so that turkey was taking forever to cook. So, once the first turkey was done on the smoker, I threw the other on there, too. Problem solved, and that was finished just in time for when everyone was done eating, but headed back around to start picking on things.
Appetizers and desserts table. This grew as everyone showed up and brought food and beverages to add.
The "Adult's table" and "Kid's table" (who are now mostly all in their 20s, lol).
Turkeys, with my favorite cranberry herb rub.

Your cookbook is giving bad and dangerous instructions.
From Google:
USDA research has found that washing or rinsing meat or poultry increases the risk for cross-contamination in the kitchen, which can cause foodborne illness. From a food safety perspective, washing raw poultry, beef, pork, lamb or veal before cooking it is not recommended as the safest method.

Like i said many times, my cookbook is back in 1980s, back then google was not even invented. USDA probably changed from years ago.

I call my uncooked cranberry/orange dish relish. And my cooked whole cranberry and orange dish sauce.
A “leftover” Thanksgiving post…we were talking about turkey sizes earlier:
30 lbs…and that wasn’t the largest one!

I actually saw turkeys in shoprite, but didn't check the weight & price

It’s kind of pricey for $1.99/lb for a frozen turkey.

I wont be in the shop for a while, but chicken is normally 2.5-3 U$ a kg and turkey about double that.
Zambia does not normally allow import of poultry and turkey is not a big thing, not popular.
To get turkeys in, the shops need to apply for permission

My hub brought home a 30 lb. turkey one time. He had to go find a roasting pan big enough to roast the beast.

I would need to make new friends to get that thing eaten
That's huge.
I have cooked a close to 50 kg pig on a spit braai though, but I don't think you can do that with a bird. Maybe you can?

You use forks. Not eating forks, but 3 or 4 pronged metal things that clamp onto the spit.I would need to make new friends to get that thing eaten
