I know that Thanksgiving is a American thing, but how do the Polish use turkey in cooking? Do you do things other than the way we do? If yes, what are they?

Here in the USA there are many ways of cooking a turkey, how you can use it, but most just make it by roasting it in a oven, for Thanksgiving Day. We, not me, anyway, have never done anything wrong to a turkey, chicken, cow, goat, lamb, or other animals. You must be sick.
How do the people of Poland prepare there turkey, do the stuff it, if yes with what? Do the people of Poland like turkey, I know most of Poland like Pork best, but I like beef and fish more than pork.

We don`t like turkey in my family. It is just too big. Not that we have a small kitchen so turkey doesn`t fit in it. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D We try not to eat such huge amount of meat at a time. And turkey meat is too dry and tough to my taste buds. |

It does not have to be dry, ours is not, and they have small turkey. Check the INTERNET, and give it another try. I am told, it is good for you, and cost less than pork.

Deep frying is not fire safe, and roasting is as good.

Loco,
You don't understand the whole Thanksgiving thing, not being a American, and never will.

Deep frying the whole turkey? In a container filled with hot oil? Like French fries?

Best for deep frying, outside, in the cold, and rain, and snow, and you still can have a fire. If you roast it correct, and bast it regular, and put your things under the skin, along with butter, it will turn out great. But again, this is a American thing, and we love it.

  In our home we do it a bit differently. We take a turkey, from 12 to 25 lbs, stuff it and place on a roasting rack in a roasting pan. Now we add 2 cups of chicken stock to the bottom of the pan. We next seal the pan tightly with aluminum foil to prevent any moisture from exiting. (This is never perfect)Now we will roast in oven at 350 o at 20 mins per pound. In essence what we are doing is steaming the chicken, 'French Chicken in a Pot' style. When the bird is done we uncover and roast for a while to brown the exterior. Serve with squash, mashed potatoes and gravy, peas and boiled pearl onions in cream and butter. When I am cooking a turkey I'll always end up with 8 to 12 people at my table. Then you have leftover turkey for soup and sandwiches. Eat hearty and enjoy life !!!!

By 350 degrees you mean Celsius of Fahrenheit? Here, Poles seldom cook and eat such big birds whole. |

I cooked the following recipe this past Saturday. Never having cooked sauerkraut in this manner, I wondered how it would taste. To my surprise, everyone loved it. They thought it was a great new taste.
 Creamed Sauerkraut Soup Recipe - Polish Kapusniak Zabielany By Barbara Rolek  Makes 6 servings of Creamed Sauerkraut Soup Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 90 minutes Total Time: 100 minutes Ingredients: * 2 pounds ham hocks or meaty ham bone * 6 cups water * 1 large chopped onion * 1 bay leaf * 5 black peppercorns * 1 sprig fresh parsley or 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley * 1/2 cup barley (not quick-cooking), rinsed and drained * 1 (14-ounce) can sauerkraut, drained (reserve liquid), rinsed and chopped * 1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained * 1 cup half-and-half or whole milk * 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour * Salt and pepper to taste * 1 tablespoon caraway seeds (optional) Preparation: 1. Place pork and water in a Dutch oven or other large pot. Bring to a boil, skimming off foam. Add onion, bay leaf, peppercorns and parsley. Return to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook about 45 minutes or until meat falls off the bones. 2. Remove meat from broth, dice and return to the pot with barley, sauerkraut, undrained tomatoes and caraway seeds, if using. Return to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for an additional 45 minutes. If soup becomes too thick, add meat stock or water. If a more sour taste is desired, add some reserved kraut juice. 3. In a medium heatproof bowl, mix half-and-half with flour. Temper the cream and return to the soup. Simmer until thickened slightly. Adjust seasonings. Remove bay leaf. Serve in heated bowls with hearty rye bread. The Creamed Sauerkraut Soup recipe has an average rating of 4.5, based on 2 reviews.

Funny but I don't remembre ever eating zabielany or creamed kapuśniak! Neither do I. What is more, I have never seen it in Poland. We are conservative when it comes to food, after all. Kapuśniak  |

Christopher Columber didn't make stop in Poland. Instead Columbus sailed to America.
This is how other countries found out and settled in America and started Thanksgiving. Pilgrams and Indians did have Thanksgivings to make peace. America keep Thanksgiving Traditions for so many years.
I do love Turkey with stuffing, sweet potatoes, cranberry and viegtables.
mmmmmmmm. Unfortunately Columbus didn't make stop at Poland. Sorry!

You would know, since you were on the ship with Columbus. And did you say you like turkey, or are one?
