I only do one turkey each year, but they’re always experimental. With the last two I made improvised water baths, keeping them at 150-160 for at least four hours, and each was juicier and more tender than the last. This year I was lucky enough to get an affordable immersion circulator and the process became SO much easier. 140 degrees for five hours was perfect, yielding soft, moist meat that kept in all but a few ounces of its moisture. The legs got their own turn cooking at 170 for the meat to completely fall off the bone (I think I might invest in a second circulator just to cook them side-by-side next time). And no, we didn’t have to miss out on crispy brown skin. That just needed to go in the oven for 30 minutes, and none of it had to get soggy sitting on a steaming bird :)

Speaking of Tesla, Elon’s “Cybertruck” appears to be a Turkey.

You can’t heat something with a Tesla Coil, though you may sear it with the man-made lightning bolts it will generate if large enough.
No, what he needs is an RF or induction coil. All explained here: https://youtu.be/_v5Hg2zfLjs

I’m sure it’ll end at ‘traditional’. Anything beyond that may mean a house fire, and electrocution!!

I hope that last turkey was raised Faraday cage free.

I hope at least one of them comes out good to eat or you are all off to the nearest Chinese restaurant.
