I think if, as a society, we roasted turkeys more often than once per year we might get better at it

why isn't Christmas stepping up to help us in our time of need

Christmas only cares about sell Lego

I'm from Canada. My family has Turkey dinners for Xmas, Thanksgiving, and Easter. And sometimes when we just want to eat turkey dinner.

Agreed!

This is like how I do makeup: only on days where I’m going somewhere dressed up, poorly applied, never practiced

My MIL is a bland cook, but it's how she grew up because her mother was a bland cook. So when we do Thanksgiving, everything is smothered in gravy. I made a turkey in the crock pot, and seasoned it to hell and back, came out delicious and tender.

dry brine the bird, you cowards

My partner's kids thought turkey was mid until I made Pavochon last year and they fucking loved it. That's a turkey slow roasted like Puerto Rican whole hog. This year I am making Pernil and found a picnic cut that has full skin coverage around the whole shoulder for that crispy chicharon.

For context.

How to solve your 98% of turkey issues in 3 easy steps:

1. Stop cooking the bird whole
2. Use a thermometer
3. Use more salt. No, more than that. Still more. Keep going.

1.5 now that your turkey is broken down, you can make gravy from scratch the day before, cook light and dark meat to different temperatures, and a 16lb bird takes under two hours to cook.

(Last year my first check was at 90 min and I was already slightly over my target temp)

Use a roast-a-bag. No skill needed.

backdoordave.bsky.social•95 days ago

Couldn't agree more.

Meat thermometers are a game changer but some of y’all ain’t ready for that conversation

God damn right. One time for our big Memorial Day weekend barbecue, I made my famous roast turkey as part of the spread. It was the *first* thing to run out. The people love turkey when done right.

Turkey will always play second fiddle to ham.

My Bacon wrapped turkey continues to destroy Thanksgiving denialists

kgonnason.bsky.social•94 days ago

Big agree. I don’t think turkey is ever the *best* meat but it’s certainly not bad when cooked well! A well brined turkey is quite good

mikevachow.bsky.social•95 days ago

Gotta get some fresh, crunchy food into the menu—shaved Brussels and apple salad with walnuts, sautéed broccoli rabe, lemony garlicky kale salad with homemade croutons. Ask yourself: does my Thanksgiving menu require teeth?

Mother in law: "I just want my turkey with salt and pepper."

Me, preparing an herb butter, bacon for the skin, & onion/garlic/lemon for the cavity: "Uh... no."

pilnok.five-loko.com•95 days ago

you were brave and correct!!!

notchandrive.bsky.social•95 days ago

Cut up the turkey into parts and roast them separately. Leg quarters together then the 2 breasts. Remember to season properly

watchtvalot.bsky.social•95 days ago

Learn to season, properly roast.

d0rkph0enix.bsky.social•95 days ago

Amen. Also.

Can’t fuck it up if you smoke it!

acousticstyle56.bsky.social•95 days ago

Preach it!!!

I made my brine for my birds yesterday so that it has 2 days to really meld together and then the birds get a 2 day bath in it and then it gets rubbed down with a compound butter that also will be curing since yesterday.
