Just wanted to let you know that my wife and I followed this recipe this year and it was honestly the best turkey we have ever made in 20 years of hosting Thanksgiving! This was the easiest recipe to prep we have found so far, and was made a full day in advance which made the actual Thanksgiving day so much easier! Everyone who ate it raved about it! I'm pretty sure this will be the way we prepare the turkey every year moving forward. Thank you!

NEXT TIME INVITE ME THIS LOOKS LIKE A DELICIOUS TURKEY, THE TRADITIONAL WAY IM TIRING OF IT

[@lovethatfoodsteeve8821]

Did you wash it?

[@adamlowe4697]

I tried this recipe over the weekend for an early Thanksgiving party and it was a huge hit! The turkey turned out incredibly juicy with perfectly crispy skin. The turkey breast took about 10-15 minutes longer than the thighs to cook, but other than that, everything worked out great.

[@foxiiroxii4925]

was it hard to cut the turkey? it looks difficult. only reason im afraid to try it

[@adamlowe4697]

Maria Hernandez, I bought my turkey in pieces, so probably only 12-13 pounds of meat total. I cooked it for 30 minutes on high, and probably another 40 minutes on the lower temp. Sorry, I know this is a late reply, but maybe you can use this for next time

[@adamlowe4697]

Veronica Hernandez, I didn’t have an electric knife, so it was a little bit harder to cut. I just ended up cutting it in larger slices which wasn’t an issues at all.

[@foxiiroxii4925]

[@jeleesatoves4953]

Hey Tasty peeps! I thought this idea was awesome so I told my mom I'd do the bird this year. I've never broken down a whole bird before so I watched the vid all week in preparation. I got home around 6pm today and went straight to it. I was done around 640ish. Thats including the brine and clean up! Now I'm roasting the carcass and veggies. I didn't even have rewatch the vid once I started. Your step by step instructions were so well put together. I just want to thank you guys for putting this up for us! Photos of the final product coming soon!

[@laraonfire9797]

My gramma has been doing this for years. It tastes so much better than cooking the whole turkey. It gets way crispier and it’s faster too.

[@SuperYooshii]

Did this for an early Friendsgiving and oooh man, I highly recommend it! The process wasn't as daunting and with a really sharp knife, I felt that I did a pretty good job breaking down my turkey. Getting the "oysters" out was definitely the hardest thing for me to do, but, hey, not bad for a first attempt. I would recommend using a coarser salt though. I just used regular iodized salt and it came out a bit too salty for my taste, but I was able to counter that by under seasoning the gravy. My presentation was VERY IMPRESSIVE though. Like once I finished cutting up the pieces, they made for some very nice Instagram pictures. Thank you Tasty!

[@MJoycee18]

How's the meat? Was it dry? Or still juicy?

[@SuperYooshii]

@@MJoycee18 it was juicy. I took my pieces out at 160 instead of 165 and they turned out well.

[@MJoycee18]

@@SuperYooshii You're convincing me to cook it this way! Did you just use the same dry rub? Or did you add other spices?

[@SuperYooshii]

I definitely spiced my rub up. I used some old bay, cayenne pepper, and a bit more sugar cuz my family likes it in the sweeter side. But I really think I over salted mine so be weary of the salt. I say try this recipe out! It only took around 30 minutes to break down the bird. I seasoned it, then left it in the fridge for like 14ish hours overnight. I made the stock and gravy the night before so I wouldn't need to worry about it the next day. I roasted some root vegetables before the turkey pieces and then an apple pie right after and in 2ish hours of baking, I had an entire Thanksgiving meal done. It was pretty easy! I just lined all of my baking dishes with foil so that clean up was a breeze. The only pan I did not line was the one I used to brown the carcass so I could get the drippings for the gravy. BTW, best gravy I have ever made

[@sarahakm]

I don't have the grates to put it on. Would putting it on a cooking sheet with foil still do?

[@silvianutbrown7330]

Best Turkey ever. I have done it for the last two years and absolutely will cook it this way again. I will never go back to the old method.

[@emilya7455]

We put butter under the skin it makes the skin golden brown

[@BTheTrue]

Old school

[@lazydreamer7745]

Yeah they showed how to do that last year

[@krishaashar]

Add butter plus herbs and garlic to make it even better and flavourful.

[@Jbtw01]

Save the Flowers i thought they did that in 2016?

[@5150kimmy]

Marinade the bird in orange juice & vinegar over night, next day butter under the skin, make slits & add cloves in there.

[@v9237]

Another reason breaking it down is helpful, it’s you’re now allowed to season every nook and cranny...

[@karissheffer6717]

OK. I tried this method with my mom and it was quick, easy, and ridiculously fun! I'm not a raw meat kind of person but we had gloves and knives and scraping down the breast bone was the best thing I've ever done! And SERIOUSLY, when it comes to the way it was cooked... The smaller pieces like the wings and drumsticks took about 45 minutes (less cause we took them out at 200 degrees Fahrenheit). The larger pieces took about an hour twenty. either way, we were unprepared for them to take such a short amount of time so we covered them well in tin foil and put them on a cutting board to keep them hot. When my family was eating it, and we do have some picky eaters, EVERYONE was exclaiming on how delicious it was. The dry brine we chose (from a different recipe) made the chicken flavorful and the process of leaving it uncovered, in a fridge, overnight really did give a nice crust! My sister told me THAT was the best turkey she had ever tasted and my mom, who didn't believe in Tasty, will probably continue to do this method fro the rest of her life. Thanks Tasty!

followed this so much easier to cook like this! also minimal mess, no nasty 'underneath soft parts' and no ugly looking carcass on the table! Although i do miss the whole bird, but i'll deal with that... i forgot to use garlic granules for the dry rub so i ended up making a herb butter mixture and rubbing it all over the bird before popping it in. awesome!

[@gokuvegeta179]

I try this every year and everyone loves it. The best and easiest cooking turkey ever.

[@jessiejorden91]

So for the past 3 Thanksgiving I've been looking up this video just to make this over and over again. Its the best turkey I've ever had!!! My cutting still needs more practice but I'm getting better at it every time I make this and everyone needs to make this turkey stock and gravy. Its heaven! Thank you so much for changing the game forever.

[@2637amy]

I did this last year and I’m planning on doing it every year after! My dad said it was the juiciest turkey he’d ever had and the skin was so delicious. Thank you tasty!

[@bigums21]

So I did this for thanksgiving and the only thing I changed was I added rosemary, tyme, sage and fresh garlic with unsalted butter under the skin just before I baked it. It was a hit. Everyone loved the turkey. It wasn't dry and it was full of flavor, as was the gravy. Deboning the turkey was a lot of work but it was so worth it because baking the turkey in an hour and ten minutes was a life saver especially when I had other dishes to make. The stock and gravy that I made the previous day was also a time saver and it tasted delicious

[@macquelvansteeter412]

We found this recipe 2 years ago and this is how we do turkey now. No other way compares! We love it so much that we buy a turkey about once every 3 months to satisfy our craving for it. Thank you so so much for sharing this!

[@cynl3862]

Absolutely love this video. Have used it for the past three years. Tips are excellent, and I always get rave reviews from my guests at the table. The dry brine is so simple, yet flavorful, and the whole process is easy. I use it for deconstructing all the birds I buy. Thank and please don't ever delete this video!

[@maynard_ross]

I have prepared my turkey this same way for the last two years and it's amazing!!! The only thing I would caution is NOT to remove the breast meat from the bone. The breast meat tends to dry out easily and keeping it on the bone will help with moisture. Happy Thanksgiving!!!

[@KL4life]

You can actually baked the breast to 145-155 degrees and it'll still be safe to eat and you won't have to leave it on the bone.

[@jennifergregory6730]

I tried this method when Tasty first dropped this video and it's my go-to method now. It makes meal day SO much easier and the turkey is delicious since you're able to season it all over. I just cut up and brined this year's bird and it's resting in the fridge for roasting tomorrow. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

[@johnthemoon1098]

I did this today for Thankgiving....All my friends LOVED it. They took one bite and were like "DAMN, THIS IS SOME GOOD TURKEY!". Thank you for this! I changed up the brine to make it spicer but I included minced onion, paprika, brown sugar, salt, and parsley flakes. Turned out pretty salty in taste for me personally but everyone else loved it. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!!

I followed this recipe today and everyone loved it even my picky eater toddler. It's my 1st time to prepare turkey & I was happy to try this. It was juicy (especially the breast part) and crispy skin.I also added onion powder, rosemary & thyme. I lessen the salt to 1/8. It came out perfectly. Not salty but very tasty from inside out. I will use this recipe yearly from now on.. 👍👍

I will definitely be using this recipe from now on. It was the perfect way to cook a turkey in a small apartment oven, which previously has been a challenge.

[@guillermoamanda4958]

Pre-carving was such a genius idea. Guests were so impressed and this made serving so much easier. The brine was a little too salty but smothering the bird in gravy when eating helped that. Thank you for this video, truly life saving and time saving.

Omg i did this for Thanksgiving, it was AWESOME!! used fine sea salt instead of kosher so it was a little over seasoned, but its was SO JUICY it didnt matter. A little extra gravy and cranberry sauce cut the salt perfectly. Even my dad, who was initially really upset over the idea of not having that perfect “Norman Rockwell Thanksgiving” is now a total convert to butchering the bird before. Thank you Tasty!!

[@foxiiroxii4925]

was it as hard as it looks?

[@BenGilbertForReal]

@@foxiiroxii4925 No way! I was careful about preparing ahead of time by having a sheet tray ready to receive various turkey parts as I took it apart. That helped a lot. If you've taken apart a chicken, you're more or less experienced in turkey butchering. The rest of the process was as simple as a quick roast and a long simmer - most of the stock-making process was me watching KZbin videos and waiting :P I made my turkey last night exactly as above and it turned out SUPER well. I was shocked by how flavorful the breast meat was, and the gravy was rich and delicious. Best of all, most of the work was done ahead of Thanksgiving, so I spent most of the day hanging out with friends and enjoying their company instead of in the kitchen!

Now this is a pretty awesome technique. I also love how it allows the skin to get crispy all over. This would save a lot of time. I will have to attempt it after Thanksgiving as the family doesn't do well with "New Fangled Ideas". I definitely agree with not washing meats, the splattering of the water does spread bacteria even more. If your cook your bird properly, then the bacteria will be destroyed by the heat. Thank you for the tips, I'm gonna give this a try!! Also, I like to chop up my carcass into smaller bits. I think that allows even more flavor to carry over into the broth!!

So glad I found your video before Thanksgiving. Everything is so clear and concise . Cooking a holiday meal can really be a chore, but honestly, I can hardly wait to get started using your ideas! Thank you! :)

[@itzamee6941]

I've been making Thanksgiving dinners for 45 years and have never been able to make a good looking turkey. They taste good but would never be on a magazine cover or video. Maybe this year

[@jeremydavis5661]

Good luck

[@pappasmitty2]

Just.....DAMN! You make it look so easy too. Bet if I tried it It'll look like it should be served Oct 31st!😊

L. Smith I just did it and it was surprisingly easy! I had that thing ready to go in no time!

[@emerald11219]

@@Mindymystiquexoxo How was it? Was there enough flavor? Was the meat tough? It will be my first time making a turkey and idk if I should try to make it.

[@Mindymystiquexoxo]

Emerald Chen it was super flavorful and juicy! I had a 25lb turkey and it cooked in 1.5 hours. The good thing about this, is that you can take pieces out as they’re done so no overcooking!

[@emerald11219]

@@Mindymystiquexoxo Thanks! This is really encouraging. Will definitely make this for Thanksgiving. :)

We are hosting a small thanksgiving style dinner tomorrow for our close friends, just cut up the Turkey and it's in the fridge right now! It was not nearly as hard to cut as I thought it would be. We are going to smoke the pieces tomorrow instead of cooking them in the oven but it smells amazing and I can't wait to try it!

This is probably the best way to cook a turkey!!! So awesome, and very detailed! Who else is doing this besides me??

I followed this recipe two years ago, and it was THE BEST. Last year, we didn’t make a turkey, but this year we are and here I am again! A week before thanksgiving preparing to follow this recipe again!

[@kankio]

Same here, have a nice thanksgiving.

[@InfiniteUmbra]

The first time I've ever wanted to actually cook a turkey. This is master level cooking and presentation. I thought your last video on this was good but this method blows that one out of the water.

[@Gadgetmaster101]

Yeah that's why I don't shop at Whole foods. I suggest Walmart, krogers, price choppers, or Albertsons. Keep an eye out for deals as we get closer to the holiday some places give you a free turkey if you spend like $100, or simply offer a really low price with coupons.

[@willmarston3117]

Thank you so much for sharing this. I don’t usually cook but I took it upon myself to make 1 of 2 turkeys this way this year (the other was deep fried) and this was exceptionally better. Sooo much juicy, seasoning was spot on, quicker to cook and the stock and gravy were WAY better than the store bought options my mom bought. Appreciate the Tasty family and Happy Thanksgiving!

[@katherinerondeau5699]

Fantastic video! This is the first recipe I’ve seen that mentions the “oysters,” which are the absolute best part of the turkey - my father was a butcher and he loved them!
