If my poultry scissors arrive in the mail today, I am planning on spatchcocking ( LOVE that word) the turkey . Not that this info will help you; I just wanted to type out “spatchcock “
I vote for #7-- I made a mean Tofurkey in 1999. #8 would be out for me due to the mice. But #4 would be the most exciting. There's a YouTube channel, "Early American," that makes fireplace cooking & baking look doable.
Oh my gosh the Tofukey!!!! My ma bought one for my brother and I in the late 90s and it was so outrageously bad that even I, then a militant vegetarian, shuddered looking at it.
I was a vegetarian in the 90s, too. Turns out to be a terrible diet for me, and it took me 13 years to figure that out. Though I never tried the Tofurky!

Here's one you forgot: A solar oven! We own one, and it's great for saving energy, baking in the summer heat when you don't want to turn on the oven in your house, and in case of situations like yours, or if there's a brownout... Those might happen more in the future (as they are in Europe).

OOOh, I almost put "solar oven", but what I was thinking about was the homeschool science project my boys did years ago, involving tin foil and an old pizza box. LOL. Yours look substantially sturdier.
He would vote for a deep fryer, wouldn't he? Ha! I think we did actually fry a turkey one year, come to think of it. I wonder if we still have the parts in the barn somewhere....

I was legit scared to look up the word "spatchcock". I sent all your grandchildren out of the room before I did it, in case it was something pervy.
Lol!!!💜

The "wishbone" was a nice touch, though. Ha!

LOLOL I forgot about the "wishbone!" Good times.

Best of luck to you, and Happy Thanksgiving!

That is awesome. In league with the science-project volcano.
For Turkey, depending on the size of course, ... Possibly the motorized rotisserie for a BBQ. Also a plug in roaster.
Worse case could try the roast pan in a firepit, but it would not be my first choice for Thanksgiving dinner. Sounds more like Thanksgiving fiasco.
Father in law says buy a deep fryer

I vote for using neighbors oven
Much to my neighbor's dismay, I think that's the option we're taking.
