Happy Thanksgiving, ATOT!

Let the turkey prep begin!

This 17lb sucker displaced all the beer in my fridge. I plan on getting revenge when I carve into it tomorrow

Following Emeril's brine recipe, and Alton Brown's roasting method

Happy Thanksgiving!

Ours was in October, where it belongs.

I get my turkeys (when I do buy one) fresh from the farm. Roast it slow and low and always have a tender juicy bird.

Happy thanksgiving. OP, you just ruined your beer by making it warm and getting back to cool temps.

 

[Exterous]

Ugh - for some reason we through it would be a good idea to get up at 5am and do a 5k Turkey trot... :\


Anyway- Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! I'm just sitting on the couch for a while, my wife wants to watch the parade, and I'll get up and start prepping dinner.

Got us a 19LB Butterball, getting ready to prep it and put it in the oven. We should be eating around 3PM or so. Usual trimmings, stuffing, asparagus, yams, pie, chardonay wine

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I get my turkeys (when I do buy one) fresh from the farm. Roast it slow and low and always have a tender juicy bird.

That's what I've always heard, but Alton Brown recommends roasting it at 500F for 30 mins to brown the skin and then at 350F (with this aluminum foil triangle on the white meat part) until white meat gets to 161F. I was thinking of trying that method this year because this recipe has been the top food network recipe for may years now.

Has anyone tried this method of cooking? Does it come out better than low and slow?

not to worry, beer is chilling in a iced cooler in the garage

 

[bruceb]

We will be doing 475°F at first, then down to about 350°F until the meat is 160°F
Butterball says for a bird of our size, about 19LB it takes about 5 hrs total.

sweet. have you only done this method, or have you tried low and slow also? wondering which makes the turkey come out better. and do you baste while roasting?

my usual method is low and slow with two bastings

 

[bruceb]

This is what we have been doing for the last few years. Works very well.

I did an 8 lb chicken at 300F for 3 1/2 hours. No basting and it was so tender and juicy it was awesome.

I do all my roasts like that and the time depends on the size.

Rule #1 for turkey: don't over cook it.
