How To Cook A Turkey

How To Cook A Turkey - Because really, what would Thanksgiving be without the bird? And thanks to modern-day sophistication, there's more than one way to cook a turkey. In fact, you might never even need to turn on the oven.

"There is no one way that's better than the other," said Greg Fisher, owner of Fisher Quality Meats. "That's up to the individual how they like their turkey. There are many different ways. There's probably as many ways to cook a turkey as there are Crayola colors."

Indeed.

Roasting, frying, smoking, rotisserie, braising or grilling are options. You can use an oven bag or aluminum foil when roasting, season in brine or inject with spices and liquid, marinate or baste. Oh, roasted with stuffing or not? Really, there's no limit.

"My son-in-law and I will deep fry one," said Mike Minars, owner of Minars' IGA in Albany. "He smokes, and then we put one in the oven. We usually use a cooking bag ... Personally, I like the fried turkey the best. It always stays moist, it keeps the flavor ... Last year we injected it with Cajun spice with a long needle. We injected it in the legs and breast. ... It came out really good."

Minars' son-in-law added a little more flavor to the smoked turkey by adding hickory wood to the smoker.

"You can use different types of wood," Minars said.

Before you get to cooking the turkey, however, Fisher recommends you first decide whether the turkey will be fresh or fresh frozen. There's a price difference, of course. Fresh turkeys might say "all natural" and frozen turkeys usually are injected with a solution to keep moist.

Contactless Debit Cards - Contactless debit cards will make their formal debut in Canada next year with the launch of Interac Flash from Acxsys Corp.’s Interac Association, Canada’s national debit network. Interac’s first two Flash issuers are Scotiabank and RBC Royal Bank, which will roll out their first contactless cards next summer. The first acquirer is TD Merchant Services, a unit of Toronto-Dominion Bank. More issuers and acquirers are on the way, an Interac spokesperson tells Digital Transactions News, though no announcements have been made yet. Interac and the banks tested Flash this summer at some high-volume, small-ticket merchants in downtown Toronto. The spokesperson expects national merchants will be making formal announcements about acceptance. “There’s a lot of excitement in the merchant community,” she says. “Merchants are looking for that faster throughput.” In a statement, the Retail Council of Canada endorsed the new card. “Interac Flash is a welcome and needed ...

Homes Losing Value Fastest

Homes Losing Value Fastest - Homeowners with Citigroup loans in foreclosure-rich Virginia Beach, Va., and Orlando, Fla., are in luck. The mortgage giant announced today that it will impose a moratorium on most foreclosures and modify $20 billion in mortgages to enable homeowners who are not behind on their loans, but in danger of falling behind, to avoid foreclosure. Those that don't fall under the plan? They're in hot water. Well, underwater. Virginia Beach homeowners who bought homes this year possess a paltry 5.2% of home equity, and 34.5% owe more on their property than it's worth, according to Zillow.com, a real estate research group. That's the worst rate in the country. Even in Orlando and Miami, two cities hammered by bad loans and home-equity dips, only 30% and 29% of homeowners are underwater, respectively. It's a similar story in El Centro, Calif., Bakersfield, Calif., and Cumberland, Md. What's certain to follow? Foreclosures. "Negative...
