Sarah Whitaker reveals how she wakes up Christmas morning to a beautifully cooked turkey

[@mrdclark2003]

I love the fact that she said, " when you go to midnight Mass...". It's strange that it feels good to hear that.

[@katdunn7934]

I just got goosebumps when I heard her say that! I was going to say something too. So wonderful to hear. ❤

[@barbarallewellyn7425]

This video is so good, a complete game changer! A cooked moist turkey and Aga hot enough for roast potatoes = a relaxed Christmas even time for a walk to the pub😀

[@lauramartin26]

It works....... i have done it.... tasted delicious, no food poisoning....... doing it again this Christmas......

[@Killerplayah]

Isn't keeping the oven on all night expensive?

[@ohdearnotanotherone4075]

Sully This is not a concern in Aga-land.

[@zenhypnotic]

They are on all the time. Period.

[@eileensweeney2500]

It is easier to justify if it runs the hot water and eliminates the need for several radiators/heating vents.

[@seikibrian8641]

Anyone care to guess where her mic is?

[@karldelavigne8134]

Inside the turkey.

[@seikibrian8641]

@@karldelavigne8134 Not a bad guess. But at 0:04 she goes to the camera-left end of the counter to put something away and her voice is clear. Then she turns away, and her voice goes quiet. Then, for the rest of the video, when she sets something on the counter you can clearly hear the clunks and thumps, and when she slides something across the counter you can clearly hear the scratching. Meanwhile, her voice is muffled. The mic must be sitting on the counter over to the left side.

Put it in at Midnight mass and then take it out in the morning. How is that "12 hours in the oven?" Can anyone give a slightly clearer idea of how long it will actually take for a 25-28lb turkey? I'm close to chickening out!!! Help!!!

[@patrickschuler4241]

If it's over 17 pounds, put it in the Roasting oven for an hour or so, then move to the simmering oven.

[@markmccall6273]

@@patrickschuler4241 Hilarious. Christmas is kind of over know. But, I managed just fine anyway. Thank you..

[@Yourlocalpsycem]

mark mccall Not only that, Lol, but she said that in the video as well!!

[@robbieross8591]

I prefer goose for Christmas dinner over turkey myself

[@melotone3305]

Would placing the chicken/turkey in a "X" shaped roasting rack before finishing in the Roasting oven given the skin a more uniform browning? As it sits there, the finish looks too uneven given all of the hard work and energy put into it thus far. I'm coming from an American perspective, so there may be differences in aesthetic goals here.

oh you have switch on the light today

[@lmhflynow]

can"t hear her.

[@lmhflynow]

I have no idea what she is saying.

[@roulsmaximus3914]

My turkey looks better than this....and only 3 hours to cook

[@DELICIOUSCHEESE999]

Whaaaaaat let's keep my poultry at bacterial danger zone for as long as possible? This is a recipe for food poisoning

[@grassgrazzer1]

No its not it works every time been doing it for years

[@Altivelzian]

No - it works fine - the turkey stays warm enough.

[@anastasia10017]

who wants to eat a turkey that has been kept warm for 8 hours ???
