Turkey is over-rated
(lemmy.world)
Same thing with meatloaf. My whole family loves it but it just tastes like unseasoned beef to me.

We started doing a rib roast for thanksgiving a few years ago. So much better than turkey!
I also do baked skin-on chicken thighs regularly, which we also like better than turkey, that we simply never have a craving for turkey.

Well done turkey (and I've had it done well) is very good. I have sliced turkey sandwiches the rest of the year. It is a lot leaner than fatty brisket/ribs too.
Are you talking about mass produced farm turkeys, or a wild turkey that you shot and cooked? There is a huge difference between the two.

I've had one really good turkey that was deep-fried.
Chicken is the far superior bird, which may be why everybody eats them all the time. Turkey is for sandwiches.
That's like saying carrots can only be eaten raw.
Any food item can be cooked in any way, as long as good preparation is put into the process.
I can make several meals out of a single turkey and sandwich meat is not even on the top 10 of the options.
Have made/had so many and I agree. Heirloom to butterball, all type of seasonings and cook styles. End of the day it's turkey. We do prime rib now depending on crowd size will still add turkey for the purists.

Is that unpopular though?
Who even eats turkey asides from Americans on thanksgiving?

Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
