Happy Thanksgiving to All!! Thought I would quickly bump the thread to the top. In first gear over here, 2 big garlic heads roasting in the oven for the mashed potatoes, browned giblets and roasted back cooking in water on the stove. Will strain later and add a carton of turkey broth and other goodies. Our bird is always dry brined. This year we tried something different. Hubby spatchcocked the turkey. (spine out out so it spread eagled on a baking sheet) He watched the Good Eats redux show and that’s how Alton Brown does it. I tried a spatchcock chicken on the grill last year after watching an episode of Pioneer Woman. I like the show but not interested in her sweet recipes or the boozy coctails. Have a happy day everyone.
I like the idea of spatchcocking the turkey——the more surfaces that get browned, the better the gravy.
