I made a Nutella Cream Pie. Yummm. Can't buy this one anywhere! It's nontraditional but family requests it every Thanksgiving. Best use of Nutella ever.

You can buy it at Coco's.  It's a seasonal flavor called Hazelnut Supreme.  IHO & qwerty should call ahead to check for availability.

Here's my brined kamado hickory smoked 4 hr turkey

Here's my turkey next to KFCs

Both were pretty good.  Got lots of good feedback on mine.  I learned a lot.  Probably cook it breast up the first 2 hours and then breast down for the last 2 hours to get more uniform cooking.  Good smoke flavor, brine helped since I was worried cooking the bird that long will dry out but surprisingly it didn't.  I think I got the turkey responsibility for thanksgiving from now on. 

KFC one was ok, wasn't what I expected, not sure but I was thinking more of the battered fried chicken except it would be a battered turkey..  Come to think of it, I doubt you can batter and fry a whole turkey, would be kinda weird.  The meat was tender, not sure if it is worth the price tag.  If I would to buy out, I would still go with Boston Market.

You guys really enjoy life. I just got  a couple of smoked turkey legs from Walmart and went for shopping right after brief dinner.

No turkey for me, just went to Sam Woo and picked up some soy sauce chicken and roast duck.
