Want to really go over-the-top for Thanksgiving? You could go high-brow turkey en vessie, which we’re not sure would work, but would require you to stick the bird in a pig’s bladder after stuffing it with foie gras and black truffles. Or you could take the über-low-brow route with Reynolds’ (of wrap fame) timely recipes for junk food-smothered turkeys.
Do you love Flamin’ Hot Cheetos? How about Cool Ranch Doritos or Funyuns? In a series of recipes meant to help sell the company’s oven-safe plastic bags, Reynolds explains how to make flavor-blasted turkeys from your favorite chips.
It’s a behemoth of clickability. Flamin’ Hot Cheetos are the puffed up corn snacks that have set a nation aflame in recent years. So adding it to the Thanksgiving table seems like the natural culmination of the trend. Simply crush ‘em up with a rolling pin or throw them in a blender, then smother your turkey, turning it a vibrant shade of nuclear red before throwing that bad boy in a nuclear-hot oven.
