We generally do the deep-fat frying thing. My husband is Portugese, so everything has to be either marinated, soaked, dredged in Tabasco, etc. and so forth. So, while I'm not always crazy about the results, it saves me the trouble of dealing with the turkey and also saves me oven space. I do insist that he do it completely outside, though (as opposed to the garage where I caught him one year) due to safety issues.
Haggis doesn't even sound appetizing.

8) Liver's not too bad. I was thinking of something squishier, like brain or heart or intestines, all of which people DO eat. *barely suppressed shudder*
I grew up eating liver and onions -- pretty tasty. My mom made that dish once a week for years (cheap protein. We ate a lot of eggs, too. :wink: )

Turkey can taste very tasty MacMoto :tongue: Turkey is also very good as it is one of the few meats that has a low fat content - I have read :banana:
So, I think it will be baked (or get someone else to do it for me :wink: ) with a nice stuffing.
One Christmas I was home with my parents we were doing stuffed chicken. I had a sudden inspiration to grate some carrots (which thankfully we had heaps of and the machine did the grating for me :wink
and mix it with some bread crumbs (crumbs made with the help of the machine :lol: ), one egg I think, lots of seasoning (olive oil, pepper, herbs, garlic and onion (the onion was also chopped up by the machine :lol: ). I think I might have added olives or something else but I don't remember just now. I then hand mixed all the ingredients 
It was good! There was a lot of the stuffing so I made the reminder into balls and put them into the oven for the last 10-15 mins or so. :banana:
Re references to the machine - they have/had one of these MasterChef machines that grates, chops, blends, mixes, minces, juices - you name it, it did it, other than wash the dishes :lol: I prefer to use it because if I try to grate anything manually, I end up 'grating' my nails also :?
