AMY'S First Turkey - Honest and True with all the Mistakes! Turkey for Beginners

[@PelletsandPits]

This video is longer than what we like...BUT we wanted to keep all the truth, laugh, and honest first attempt at making this turkey. Hope you enjoy...here is Amy's recipe she 100% created...pelletsandpits.com/orange-glazed-smoked-turkey-with-orange-juice-brine/

[@ericsoderquist3969]

Awesome Vedic and great job Amy 😳🤗

[@squerry]

This made me laugh out loud several times, it’s not too long when we all learn together!

[@markkramer2908]

I think this is one of the best video's you two have done. I really enjoy watching Neil try different techniques, and recipes but, when Amy comes out, it really is a treat for us, (the ones who are just learning to cook) to see what we will encounter as we try things for the first time. Thanks to the both of you for a wonderful channel. You make cooking look fun.

[@PelletsandPits]

Thanks so much!

[@ragingirishman6969]

Great job to Amy for coming out of her comfort zone and cooking..and on camera!! Well done.

[@yalefogarty2498]

The struggle is real! Love it. I can’t say how many times I’ve watched something and said that’s easy I’ll do it then struggle for ever trying to make it work. You have to approach it like Amy, “I can do this” then smile and have fun with it. .. Thanks for adding reality to the process. Happy Thanksgiving kids … Cook on! 🦃

[@PelletsandPits]

Happy Holidays...cheers

[@SirTacoBell]

This is by far the best cooking video on KZbin! Seriously!. My wife and I always said we wish there were uncut videos of everyday people cooking because that's how we learn from each other's mistakes when it comes to cooking. For instance, the butter scene was hilarious because that is something I would have done! So it's great knowing there are other people out there who are not experts at cooking but enjoy doing it their own way, which is not always the most efficient or productive way! I would suggest to melt the butter and baste it like Neal stated. Baste it every 45 minutes or so. But yeah, best video ever and please, keep cooking and posting!!! You've earned another subscriber because you kept cooking real! I love it!! Happy Thanksgiving!!

[@PelletsandPits]

Really appreciate that...cheers and Happy Thanksgiving

[@peterarsenault]

I am a Marine and I give this video an OUTSTANDING JOB. That is the best video.

[@oklarry6056]

Neal and Amy, amazing job on the Turkey! @34:29 I could have sworn I heard Amy look up at you and say, “I did good Daddy?” 😂Great job, both of you!

[@roger80465]

Great job Amy! Roasting/smoking a turkey as your first serious cook is incredibly brave - especially with it being on video for all the world to see. That bird looks amazing! My only concern is that, heaven forbid, if anything happens to Neil, you and your kids will starve.😂😂😂Keep these videos coming.

[@PelletsandPits]

ahahhaha

[@howardlogue8113]

Great video!!! I finally meet Amy, the vid is longer, and the cameraman got to be normal. I was laughing at you more than her. We need more commentary from you!!! 👍🔥🔥

[@DavidPrzybylski-h3b]

I love watching you guys, Amy did a great job

[@SimplisticsBBQ]

Not sure how I ran across this but I’m glad I did. Your wife just gained this channel a sub. Loved this..

[@PelletsandPits]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@glennburkhart6699]

"Zest-Butter situation".. the "small" gloves..the slippers... These are all reasons we need more of Amy on that side of the camera! Well done & Happy Thanksgiving!

[@PelletsandPits]

hahahaha agree

[@Rickety57]

Nice job Amy! Neil I admire your patience to let Amy have at it. I would have probably bumped my wife (I guess we could call her the toaster queen) out of the way about 5 minutes in 😊 and taken over the ‘driving’ so to speak. Good entertaining video.

[@loydmeeks2439]

Beautiful Amy, you did great. We have been married 58 years and my wife taught me to cook then I took over

[@PelletsandPits]

That is awesome!

[@Enjoyrving]

That’s a winner Amy……the turkey looked amazing. Next……Amy does a side dish.

[@robmorris9203]

Love watching you guys. I had my wife ask the meat guy in the grocery store for a male turkey. You should have seen his face. 🤣🤣

[@PelletsandPits]

ahhahahaha I should tell her that....

[@chriseh09]

"Can Do" sounds like a true SeaBee!! Great Video and Happy Thanksgiving!!

[@paulroueche7003]

Amy is such a good sport😊

[@garryhammond3117]

Amy - You need to start your own KZbin channel! Neal - Don't quit your cooking job - Camera person is not your forte - lol Great video and cook you guys! - Cheers!

[@Johnssouthencooking]

Amy you have to start somewhere 💪 Learn by your mistakes and improve as you go ❤

[@smokingtarheel3003]

Amy did it and did it well. One great looking birds and so moist too!

[@tarasmith9642]

You had us grinning the whole time, Amy! You're the cutest! Great job, even with the butter mishap 😁

[@PelletsandPits]

I know...lol..it was a little much huh!

[@tarasmith9642]

@PelletsandPits nooo! Amy is awesome!

[@DS-xl1ro]

Excellent vid. Glad to see Ms. FTK/Ms. PNP cook. Make more vids like this to show newbies how to barbeque.

[@PelletsandPits]

More to come!

[@MileHighGuyBBQ]

That video was fun to watch, made me laugh in spots. Amy, you did a great job! This year will be my first turkey on the pellet grill...fingers crossed 🙂

[@jamescereda2628]

God bless Amy! It's funny, but realistic! Got to start some ware! GREAT JOB AMY! Without talking out loud. You're better at the camera ! Hope to see you cook again! Happy holidays! Jim from Napa California

[@DimitriyLanis]

A new star is born!!! Wishing a very happy and successful launch of your soon to be announced YT channel 😊

[@PelletsandPits]

ahhaahha I wish...she is camera shy....

[@jasonpayne3363]

She’s a freaking mess and so much fun to watch. I know it was hard to hold back. Sue needs to do a video once a month because she just made my Thanksgiving. Y’all are the best. Keep the great videos coming. Have a great holiday and take some time off. If you can….

[@tadvanallen]

Using a Cooler for the Brine process is a absolute Great Idea!!!!!

[@PelletsandPits]

It really is!

[@scottallemong5079]

Way to go Amy!! I always love the content of this channel and you two are a great team in life! Keep up the awesome work and happy Thanksgiving!!

[@GWS...BBQOutdoorPitmaster]

Awesome job Amy! Congrats on your first turkey. 👏

[@ahg1358]

Well done Amy 👍 , there is nothing you can't do if you apply yourself ! I learned early that if I was hungry I would have to learn to cook ! I love flavors so eating was a good catalyst for cooking , if you want something different you either pay a price for it or teach yourself what's going on . Good stuff indeed , God Bless .

[@brianbaird3]

I work in a meat department in my local grocery store and we use those same knives Mrs Amy used to crack the breast plate with. We use the 10in and a 6in but the 10in is so much easier to use then the 6in

[@The_Original_Big_Daddy]

Great job Amy! I always cook in my fuzzy slippers too haha!

[@nasa1nk]

Great job Amy, loved seeing you on the other side of the camera. Love your shoes!! 🤣🤣 I'm like you, I have never cooked a turkey let alone on the smoker. I will have my fingers and eyes crossed that it turns out good.

[@stevelitteral]

You did a GREAT job Amy. Better then I can do. Happy Thanksgiving to your family.😎👍

[@tracker1955]

Here's a suggestion, put about half a gallon of fresh orange juice in your brine, I also add half a gallon of apple cider to mine as well.

[@jaybooth4815]

This was a hoot to watch! Amy, you did an awesome job! That skin looked amazing too. That bird looked juicy as heck! I wish y’all a happy and blessed Thanksgiving! Cheers!

[@floydcampbell1501]

Happy Thanksgiving to y'all. First Turkey, she did one heck of a job! You'd be surprised by the amount of people that doesn't have a clue about how to begin to cook a turkey. I give Amy, as a first time cook.... with your coaching A+. Have a great Thanksgiving folks!

[@PelletsandPits]

Hey thanks Floyd...cheers

[@bobbicatton]

Great job, Amy! You should be very proud of how awesome that turned out👍😊

[@PelletsandPits]

Absolutely....thanks Bobbi

[@doncrist7831]

Great job Amy! We all start somewhere and you did well for your first time. You will be making epic smash burgers and other dishes in no time.

[@stevefowble]

This is one of the funniest videos you have done. This made my Sunday. Thanks for the humor. 😂😂😂😂

[@PelletsandPits]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Merica_dadgarage]

My wife just said she wanted it to go “poof” like National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation when you cut it open.😂😂😂 Happy Thanksgiving::))

[@PelletsandPits]

hhaahhahaha

[@bpa5775]

That was one of the most fun bbq videos I’ve seen . Amy’s awesome positive fun attitude was infectious. Great job!

[@PelletsandPits]

Thanks so much!

[@SteveFromWyoming]

What a fun video you guys, Amy you did a fantastic job. Sue and I laughed a lot and sure miss you two a bunch.

[@PelletsandPits]

ahhahaha could you imagine..

[@danebeee1]

Letssss go Amy!! Loved seeing the “Amy mmmmmm score” by you on camera!!

[@scottsquier6122]

Love the video… I finally figured out how to have an awesome turkey! Thank you. Dinner will be at 4pm Neil can you be here around 10 to begin the filming? Great job Amy!

[@PelletsandPits]

hahahaha absolutely...cheers bud

[@frankmarullo228]

Neil ,,, you should get Amy to do more video's she makes my laugh more then you lol .its awesome to see people happy and laugh while cooking . THANK YOU FRANK FROM MONTANA......

[@brianforaker1160]

I spray the skin with sprayable duck fat , a binder for your rubs also helps to make the skin crispy

[@MyArcturus1]

Best video to date! Love when you two collaborate on a video.

[@fredschaffer7330]

Amy...You can smoke a turkey for me anytime! GREAT job!!

[@stonerscravings]

Woohoo! She nailed it! ❤❤❤

[@PelletsandPits]

What a trip...cheers Kelly

[@RobbinsJoe]

Amy, you did good. I had a smile on my face the whole way though ☺️. It's fun to see wins and fails in the process. It's how we've all learned. Wish I was there to sneak a bite. Congrats 👏 👏 👏

[@beka4780]

Great Job Amy 👍👍👍Greetings Bernd

[@PelletsandPits]

Thanks B

[@7Wolf2k]

Great job, Amy. I always smoke my turkey, so good call on that. I also just learned that I'm an idiot and have been slicing my turkey breasts the wrong way. They look much nicer when sliced lengthwise. Thanks for that tip. I'll use it this year for sure. A very happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

[@PelletsandPits]

Happy Thanksgiving

[@squerry]

This is awesome! I agree with someone who said videos can make things seem so easy to do, then when I do it the first time it takes twice or 3 times as long, with a ridiculous number of mistakes and redos. Thank you for this!

[@richardspiller9224]

This was fun to watch guys😂

[@papad9067]

CONGRATULATIONS Amy! I'm a fan!

[@PelletsandPits]

Yay! Thank you!

[@JohnnyCopus-t9k]

Great video, great personality. Pretty sure that this will lead to more videos in the future.😊

[@joshsos5541]

Hell yea Amy!!! You cook that turkey!

[@richardbutcher9665]

Really enjoyed the video. Have a son I'll be sharing this to. Happy Thanksgiving folks

[@PelletsandPits]

Happy T day...

[@ericsoderquist3969]

Awesome job Amy, looking forwards to seeing you behind the camera Moore. Next time try loosening up the skin and put the butter under the skin 🤪🤗

[@markknupfer]

great job Amy you and your family have a happy Thanksgiving

[@SimpleAtHomeQ]

That looked perfect. Any you done a wonderful job cooking that bird.

[@KWeston1123]

I love watching you two! You’re hilarious!

[@PelletsandPits]

ahhahaha everyday its like this

[@barksjohnson1513]

Super Fun Video you two!! She’s a Star!

[@briannicholas493]

Awesome job Amy and that turkey looks perfect! Happy Thanksgiving to y’all!

[@PelletsandPits]

Happy Thanksgiving bud...cheers

[@charlese.prospecting6627]

Im going to be doing my first spatchcock smoked turkey this year. I have to say thank you for the video. I love to learn and you guys ( Amy ) are great teachers! I wish you both a fabulous thanksgiving.

[@PelletsandPits]

Hey Happy thanksgiving to you as well

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

AWESOME AMY !!! You did good Amy, thanks for sharing this video with us. Everyone knows if you try hard enough and stick with it you will succeed at what you are trying to accomplish. You both share the responsibilities around there and keep each other happy and that's what make the clock tick for you all. Stay safe and keep up the fun around there. Fred.

[@PelletsandPits]

Really appreciate ya Fred...cheers

[@jasongales6947]

Great job Amy!!! Definitely a lot less nasal whistling while breathing when Amy is behind the camera! Lol Great video you two! Thanks

[@gregvaughntx]

I'm going to spatchcock and smoke a turkey for my family Thanksgiving this year, the first time I'm hosting. I'm trying to figure out when to start the bird. I heard 225 for 1 hour in smoke mode, then raising to 325 for 3 more hours, total of 4 hours. But what size was the turkey? Also, good job, Amy! You do fine in front of the camera. Good job showing what you're doing and explaining and being confident enough to share mistakes and show how to compensate for them and try something different.

[@charlescahoon3557]

Amy needs to do a cooking video at least once a month!

[@GoatRoper911]

Great video guys. We always soak wild pigs in the cooler for a few days and we add orange or grapefruit juice to the water. It makes the meat moist and kills the gamey taste.

[@gharv1313]

Let's Gooooooo Amy!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@tangamanga94]

Congrats 🎉 You just made me remember my very first turkey that I cooked, the first one that I smoked and the first one that I served raw that I had to throw away. Every time that I cook it's a learning experience for me. Thank you for sharing the video. PS where can I find thick heavy duty brine bags?

[@PelletsandPits]

ahhaah We just found on amazon...turkey brine bags

[@albertvillegassr8669]

We tried this on a turkey breast , it was great!

[@PelletsandPits]

Hey thats awesome...I will tell her

[@jeffreybaker7406]

Nice work! Happy Thanksgiving!

[@ricklundberg1152]

Great job Amy.

You two are awesome. Love the shows. Amy, keep up the good work, you're a doll and Neil, thank you for your service sir. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

[@johnhacker8121]

Super cook Amy. Thanks for the assist Neal. Nice Q both.

what a great video, guys. I'm a beginner so I appreciate this.

[@toddcrockett]

Good job Amy. Keep it up.

ROCK ON, Amy!

[@curtdunlap6818]

Awesome job, Amy! Y'all have a great Thanksgiving!

[@lonely29229]

Nice job Amy!!

[@Z1ldjian2785]

21:28 that butter would have been better served rubbed under the skin. As soon as that butter melts it will take the seasoning with it to the bottom of the pan whether seasoned before or after rubbing butter on it. Rub butter under skin, season over the skin. Than later baste with butter and water from bottom of pan. Season has stuck by than and wont come off from basting. IMO... Happy holidays to you and your family. Stay safe

[@jamesbramlette1515]

great job Amy!!!!.....Happy Thanksgiving guys

[@ericsoderquist3969]

Next month could you 2 make some brownies and cookies in the smoker please ? 🤗🤪☃️

[@PelletsandPits]

haahha

[@ernestlooker4015]

Amelia is an awesome looking turkey can I have smoked over 150 turkeys in my lifetime and I eat that all day long

[@stevenpidek4387]

Great job on the turkey. What was the temperature of the turkey when you pull it off the smoker

[@chriscarter7182]

Armature Amy, vs professional cook, what's his name?, (Neil?). 😀This is a fun, enjoyable, and enlightening video!! More of this PLEASE!!! When I retired 8 years ago, my wife gave me 2 books, 1 was the checkbook, and the 2'nd was her cookbooks! EVERYBODY should know/learn how to cook! Managing the checkbook is easy compared to putting a decent meal on the table EVERY day!

[@PelletsandPits]

ahhahh thats awesome...2 books..i like that...cheers

[@danwaligursky4258]

Great Job!!

[@keithcloud2215]

Love it! Great Job!

[@Patrick94GSR]

I also tried the butter bathe last year and ran into the same problem! I want to try butter under the skin this year. I saw Brad Robinson do it last year on a Chuds video. Need to watch that one again.
