oh, wait- Did I miss the annual @mattyglesias jeremiad against turkey meat?
It’s one of my favorite holiday traditions.

Yup. https://twitter.com/mattyglesias/status/933019217393324032 … And so you've missed the first of my "buy a better fucking bird" tweets, followed by my "baste it with bacon" exhortations.

To be fair I now use a brine when I'm cooking chicken breasts or pork chops But I wouldn't call it "difficult" to do It's actually really easy Difficult part is remembering to do it Takes a few hours

Sure. But baste it with bacon is even easier, ALSO protects the breast from overcooking, AND gives you a snack to eat as solace when the Lions lose.

Hope you use Nueske’s bacon. Truly applewood-smoked, the best.

No no no. I used bacon from Crane Dance Farm. Same place I get the turkey. http://cranedancefarm.eatfromfarms.com/
