Defrost in Apple cider brine, let sit uncovered in fridge the night before (crispier skin), stuff with lemons, herbs, onions, garlic bulb. Smear butter all over and throw it in the oven until it reaches 160. Let sit 45-60 minutes. It will not be cold, I promise! Carve and enjoy.
Plastic may be contributing to our epidemics of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s. So I wouldn’t roast inside plastic as it does leach into the food. Brining does the same thing, you just need something big enough to hold your turkey that will still fit into the fridge.
Worlds best brine recipe is Melinda Lee’s.
I think it’s melindalee.com
Spill the beans! Sounds good.
Now that looks absolutely disgusting.
Now I want one.
If you can nail the stuffing and giblet gravy all is well.
o may I? This killer dish sounds dangerous =)
On second thought, I'd have probably held onto an older model and never experienced the ease of cleaning and operating this new-ish one!
Here is mine just for fun.
Green beans a la Fungi
Ingredients:
Two pounds blue lake green beans, cut into one inch lengths
Two medium onions, diced
Two large tomatoes, diced
Five cloves garlic, mashed and minced
Salt and pepper to taste
One lemon
Butter
Method:
Saute onion in butter over medium heat for two-three minutes
Add all other ingredients, cover and cook at a bare simmer for one hour until cooked, checking a few times to mix ingredients. Correct seasoning. Add the juice of the lemon and serve
A regular brown paper bag will do the trick. Tear out the bottom piece, then coat with butter then cover turkey then bake.
thank you for posting that.
i look for those videos every year; but you did my work for me.
Does anyone have a killer stuffing recipe? Got kinda tire of mine version, want to try be adventurous. =)
I think I’m going to try to make some fried macaroni and cheese this year....sort of as an appetizer/finger food.
Sure! I’m always up to new recipes, especially from FRiends!
whip your sweet potatoes with some marshmallow fluff not marshmallows themselves
very tasty
Where is the best place to measure the internal temp.? I try to place into the thickest part of the breast. Once it was a bit under done, pink near the bones?? Thanks and Enjoy Thanksgiving!
I also have a wonderful sweet potato (yam) recipe for those who are tired of the overly sweet, mushy one that’s been served for too long, if anyone’s interested.
Not very well. It tends to look anemic.
