Thanksgiving Day Dinner/ Buffet in Norman/OKC area

[porkchop922]

I found out the other day that the Embassy Suites in Norman will not be having a Thanksgiving Day Buffet.

Can anybody tell me another place I should try? It can be in Norman or in the OKC area.


THANKS & HAPPY THANKSGIVING

I believe Legend's in Norman is open on Turkey Day.

In OKC, pretty much all the major hotels offer Thanksgiving meals: Skirvin, Sheraton, Waterford, etc.

The Skirvin would be a great option IMO, as you can then walk over to the Myriad Gardens and ice skate or just wander around.

In Norman, if we're not eating with kin, and occasionally when we are, we've enjoyed the community meal some churches and nfp's sponsor. There are some mighty fine cooks participating with that project.

I wonder what the Skirvin price is ?? Embassy Suites was around 35 bucks for adults. My limit !!


Does Lottenvillen in Edmond still have one? What's there price?

[Pete]

Looks like the Skirvin charges about $50 for adults at the buffet, $40 for fixed price menu:

Sorry to ask this here, but didn't feel like making a thread (again)...
Does anyone know where I can buy pre-brined uncooked turkey? Thanksgiving is really when I miss Trader Joe's,
because I always bought brined whole turkey there
I think I've heard Sprouts sells them, but the few times I've been there, it was unpleasant...
Thank you in advance!

Whole Foods would be a good bet, but will definitely be more expensive than Sprouts.

They might have it. They're advertising some type of turkey out front.

Have you tried to brine your own? It's very easy. I use an Igloo water
cooler, like the ones holding Gatorade at football games, to hold my bird.
Keep it in the fridge.

Yep, several years ago I started to brine my own (using a large plastic bucket) and that with the use of a good meat thermometer has yielded fantastic results with just a basic turkey.

I've heard good things about kosher turkeys, as they usually are salted in a nice way.

I've brined a turkey once long ago... which made me start buying pre-brined
I checked Whole Foods' site, but they only seem to list organic whatever turkeys...
I think I'll just buy a precooked Butterball at Aldi, since it's basically foolproof lol

Sound like a plan! I'm starting to make room in the fridge so I can brine
mine for Thanksgiving. I'm going to smoke then roast it.

The Biltmore Hotel is having a Thanksgiving Day buffet. I think around 13 bucks.
