How To Cook Turkey and Gravy in Just 2 Hours! | Chef Jean-Pierre

[@antadefector]

I do not know how to say correctly in English. When I was young we had white turkeys and feed them for selling (they would be about 30kg each). People where returning to buy once they had them. From our humble experience in cooking turkey, we found that if turkey is whole it is imperative for white meat to be cut in small incisions and filled with bacon and garlic. Also my late mother would fill it up with vegetables similar to appearance to vegetables prepared for Russian salad (little cubes). Unfortunately that is over 30 years in past (and more), but I remember well the umbrella strings in legs black meat. I was happy to see you prepare turkey with lots of butter, she needs that, now i have to go eat something. Best Regards and nice holidays to You, Jack and the team. Nice wishes to all from the heart (and Balkan).

Have a hard week at work. All the stress and hate in the news. I watch this video and all the stress is cooked out of me. Thankyou Jean-Pierre😊

[@DerekSamuelReese]

We all know that JP is the quintessential Chef but his beautiful, funny, lighthearted ways sprinkled throughout his videos are why we all keep coming back, what a great human being. You can learn to cook but you can't learn to have a million dollar personality, that comes from within

[@artistadelrincon4862]

Chef, I just wanted to say this for a long time, and I am probably not the first. Besides learning from you so much, you have such an amazing personality! I think that we, the viewers are all feel like you are one of our best friends in life. You just make it so easy to learn cooking and to connect with you. Be blessed, my friend! Stay happy, healthy, we love you Chef!

For me, the best thing about Chef JP is that he teaches us when - maybe especially when - he sprinkles additional tidbits of knowledge throughout the video. Not a minute wasted (not even when he’s fighting a stubborn turkey leg that refuses to stand 🍗 😅). Thanks again, Chef! 🥇👨🏼‍🍳

My father-in-law introduced me to Chef this year and I am hooked. I tried this recipe for our bird this year and It was the most succulent, flavorful turkey I've ever eaten. The onions add an amazing flavor to the meat. I will never cook a bird any other way. Even the left-overs a couple days later were still melt-in-your mouth delicious. Chef is right when he suggests using a boning knife for cutting the meat off the carcass and using a slicing knife which makes each piece perfectly sliced and so easy to plate. Thank you, Chef for changing our main course for the best. We will enjoy this for years to come.

[@ChefJeanPierre]

Thanks for watching and for the kind words! 🙏❤️

[@daethalion1725]

I laughed so hard at the point where Chef JP adds wine to his gravy base. That moment when he realizes he has no idea what to tell people who just don't drink was so relatable!

[@patricia739]

And a “ little dab of butter “ 😂 Gotta love butter!

[@olly7673]

That was a wonderful lesson, merci Chef. I think you rush because you are worried that your viewers think the video will be too long. I can assure you that your regular viewers, who appreciate your work, never think they are too long, in fact, would enjoy more content. If we don't have the time to watch them in one sitting, we come back to the video when we have time. Simple! Happy Thanksgiving😊

[@GourmetExpressTV]

I thoroughly appreciate tuning in to your cooking program! Your likable personality sets you apart from other KZbin chefs.

[@derekchick867]

I've used this method a few times, and honestly, I think this is the only way I'll ever cook a turkey now. De-boning isn't that hard. In fact, I find it easier than carving a hot cooked turkey. Your oven isn't tied up all day, you have the carcass to make the gravy with in advance. The white meat is moist and flavourful (much to my daughter's chagrin. She actually prefers drier poultry meat). You can have everything prepared in advance and ready for when the turkey comes out. No waiting for the gravy, carving etc. I do go a little further and debone the thighs and throw the wing tips and flats into the stock pot. For those who don't have a fancy fat separator, put the drippings in a clear pot or measuring cup. Use a turkey baster to draw the juices up from the bottom.

[@bryanmccain969]

[@hollyn9547]

You are my absolute FAVORITE chef! I love watching your videos, even if the recipe may not be something I'll cook. You have such a great energy, and I appreciate your dedication to teaching us all how to be better cooks. I don't ever get annoyed when you repeat instructions. Such as "onyo is always number first!" I just say it right along with you like a little kid watching Sesame Street 😂. I share your love for butter and love that you ALWAYS have it out, even if you aren't going to use it! Emotional support butter 😄. I have learned a lot from you, and you always make me laugh even when I'm having a rough time. Your vegetarian, and non alcoholic jokes/facial expressions crack me up!!! I used your method of cutting the turkey prior to cooking, and followed your time and temp instructions. I did slab a buttered herb blend all over that baby before cooking. Oh my gosh, it was the BEST turkey I have ever made! I am NEVER cooking a whole turkey again! I also love your attention to detail and the way you garnish your dishes. Never stop being you, chef, I appreciate you!

[@MichaelBrown-ex3tp]

"put a little wine in there... Ha. Put the whole bottle." Absolutely perfect.

[@drewmusselman]

I made this last night, I’m not kidding you this was the best turkey and hands-down, the best gravy I have ever made myself, I’ve tried to make gravy on several occasions, and it was generally moderately edible, this completely changed my cooking ability!

Slice me off a hand pile and I'll make me a sandwich right now. Love a turkey sandwich right outta the oven. Some stuffing right on there too and smothered in gravy. Then nap time. So good. A few hours later, then round two. I actually love turkey more than chicken really. Great stuff again Chef. Thanks for making it all come together Jack. Dynamic duo at it again. So much good coming from this channel.

One of my favourite things about this channel (and believe me...there's a LOT! You'd butter believe it, friends!)....is the catchy little electric organ jingle during the pauses! It always makes me dance! Oh....and my little dog loves it too....we have officially given her the middle name of 'Onyo' 😀 She is a Spanish street dog, so her full name now is: Dolly (Dolores) Onyo Chorizo! And she's very lucky, because her mom is also a chef (but not nearly as good as JP!!), and cooks her fancy dinners each night, with inspiration from you guys! :-D

JP You certainly make Ft. Lauderdale proud. I grew up here and loved The Left Bank, by the Las Olas Tunnel. Had lunch there many times, however my budget would not allow me to attend often but what an experience. I feel your level of culinary skills raised the standards of many restaurants to make Ft. Lauderdale a dining Mecca. Your great videos are bringing the world your French tips, tricks, and experience sprinkled with a delicious sense of humor. Don’t be so hard on yourself when your English is not perfect because you are sharing your cultural heritage, which is a gift. Just hard to watch when you burn your tasting tongue so often…ouch!!! Merci for your generous outpouring of love through your recipes…I am so grateful to witness such a master…with all the ridiculous television these days, your videos are a breath of fresh Florida air and are such a tremendous gift to the masses.

[@jlanderson21257]

Hi Chef...been cooking Thanksgiving dinner since I was 10 years old helping mom. A "fresh" turkey means that tom has been dead a week by the time you get it from the "gourmet" store. Unless you know a farmer who chops the head off that day for you, it's not fresh. Get a frozen that has been flash frozen after killing. Trust me, 7 children later, I've tried them all...frozen is better. Love your show. If I was younger I'd love to go to a master class.

[@mrcyde]

We go to my Dad's house for Thanksgiving, but we cook a turkey at home for ourselves. I'm definitely going to do this this time!

" A child could do this " you are very modest, my friend :) I watched the whole video. The gravy is amazing, all of it is. We don't have Thanksgiving in NZ, and I have never had Turkey (it is not big here) but this looks delicious. I do eat chicken though, and I buy a whole bird and butcher it myself, it is cheaper than buying the pieces and I use the carcass for stock. Thank you Chef. You are very entertaining and I enjoy your vids.

[@scottroberts9423]

I made this on thanksgiving what a time saver. Thank you chef, turkey will never be the same again.I made the stock cooked it for 4hrs. Bloop bloop bloop very low. Absolutely the best gravy I made. Happy thanksgiving.

[@larawrightt]

Thank you so much, Chef! You've truly outdone yourself. I appreciate how you avoid using the enemy-water-in your recipes. Although, I'm definitely going to make your Maple Butter Turkey again. Last year, my turkey was the most gorgeous thing I'd ever seen. I even considered framing a large picture of it to replace the family photo over my mantle. It was not only a visual treat but also incredibly delicious. My mother-in-law couldn't find a single fault, which is a miracle akin to the immaculate conception. Thanks again. I love you dearly and wish you the best Thanksgiving!

[@AlmightyAphrodite]

An extra JP recipe video never hurt anyone 😁😁😁 I was planning on cooking the turkey this way, as its faster and easier to cook the different meats to perfection 👌 So im delighted to have this video to reference now 😁 especially the part of taking out the batteries of annoying beeping devices is gold! 😂 ps.. try not to do that to the smokedetector, and forget to put them back in.. like me 💀

[@gomurphy1]

Thank you chef! My turkey dinner was well received today, everyone wanted leftovers. It took me the whole day, but the turkey stock was well worth it. Even my 91 year old mother loved the sage gravy. Breaking down the turkey is absolutely the only way I will cook it going forward. Everything was juicy.

[@charlene-allgood]

Love the deboning demonstration 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾! Apply to chicken which is always more economical to purchase whole and cut yourself!

[@frankbroker3698]

Chef can teach even the smallest things! Leaving the wings on the carcass until last really helps with the stability of the turkey breast. I removed the legs and then the wings as my first 2 steps, and I realize now the error of my ways. Very delicious! A close second to his Prime Rib recipe. Happy Holidays.

[@richardrobertson1886]

I’m gonna take this approach this year. I’m going to make an herb butter with a little rosemary, sage, and a little thyme. I’m also going to roast the bones for my stock. I love that extra added depth of flavor. Roasting in pieces - wonderful idea. I’ve been spatchcocking the bird for years and this just seems to be the next evolution of that idea

[@CF-sy7hb]

Oh, I'm going to try this next week. Pray it turns out❤

[@rexannam2646]

I just love cooking vicariously via watching Chef Jean-Pierre! I can die happy tomorrow! *Unless there's another video to watch! Sorry St. Peter but you must wait for me!*😂😂

[@jomama81ranch8]

I am intrigued by your cutting apart the turkey before roasting! Maybe not this week, but sometime in the near future, I will be trying that! --- However, I have to confess that for many years... and still once in a while, I put my turkey in the oven, in a large roaster liner... kind of like an oven bag, and my turkey is ..... wait for it........right out of the freezer!!! LMBO!!! I am not teasing either... and it works like a charm! My mom watched me carving up my turkey many years ago and said.... your neck and gizzard pieces are STILL in your turkey?? I teased right back that it is kinda tough to remove them when they are frozen inside when the bird went into the oven! LOL (Ok, I hate the neck and those nasty pieces and those go to the cats anyway! May as well give them to those who appreciate them... roasted!) I pressure can a lot of turkey meat every year and roasting turkeys quickly so that I can remove the meat to pack into jars, goes faster when you don't go through the process of thawing them for 6 days in the fridge.... as a rancher's wife, I don't have time for all of that! LOL I take a shallow roasting pan, place a large foil pan inside, then line that with a "roaster liner bag" before placing either my thawed out turkey... overnight on my kitchen drainboard, or my just unwrapped FROZEN turkey with the giblets inside, which I have done more often than the thawed method... inside the pan. I do put butter all over on top and salt it well, add about 6 cups of water, then bring up the sides of my roaster liner and I fold them over and staple them closed. Put that bad boy in the oven and let it roast until a thermometer reads the correct temperature inside. The roaster bag cooks it quicker as it retains the heat. I have zero doubt that Chef JP's method is MUCH better and probably tastes better... no questions about that either, but alas.... I am the one doing all the cooking every year and I don't expect guests coming way out to the ranch to bring food, so I simplify what I can so that I can enjoy the holiday as well. I have NEVER had a single complaint about the turkey, and nobody has ever died from eating mine yet.... anyway, they walk out the door still breathing, a good sign! I have thawed mine over the past several years for Thanksgiving, and plan to this year... but I don't always do that!

[@lrm267]

You are the BEST and UNIQUE! Thanks God we have you!

[@kleetus92]

So calling back to this video after Thanksgiving... WOW... I will never cook a whole bird ever again! It turned out absolutely amazing, and it was infinitely easier to prepare being able to do the stock the day before. I cannot rate the results of this high enough! Thank you Chef!

[@halestormtv]

Chef JP!!! This is an awesome reference for anyone who chooses to take this much quicker route of preparing a turkey! Also, "bulb" or "head" of garlic is correct.

[@wendymoon5668]

OMG I have never been a fan of turkey , because it’s dry , but this method makes all the difference in the world , this was 100% the best turkey I have ever tasted , and sooooo juicy ….i will never make turkey any other way …thank you again for sharing your knowledge …Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family

Can’t get enough of these videos.

[@rogue109]

I'm totally doing this this year. Only things I'll change is, I'll brine the entire bird (my wife gets these organic, fresh turkeys, never frozen or brined) two days before cutting it up and instead of cooking it in an oven at 325, I'll cook it in my smoker at say 275 and take a little more time. But this will allow me to make a proper gravy out of the carcass while the turkey is smoking, something I've never done.

[@rogue109]

@8:00 You made that look so easy! Obviously many years of experience...It took me an hour and I ruined a knife trying to get through a joint that was actually a bone...

This was already one of my favorite videos of yours but the "beep beep" over the thermometer had me laughing. Thanks again for another great video, Chef!

[@mikepaulus4766]

I really like the idea of breaking the bird down. It allows cooking the different parts in the way that will yield the best results for each part. When you cook the whole bird you have to deal with a compromise so you can cook the dark meat enough while trying to not overcook the breast. I still like a multi day wet brine made with stock, salt, brown sugar, onions, celery, sage, peppercorns. The white meat is moist, flavorful, and complex.

[@danwilliams4640]

Hello Chef! Last year I made your maple butter-coated roasted turkey (raves from my guests) and this time I tried this method and let me tell you, from now on, this is how I will make Thanksgiving dinner. I have never made better gravy than with your turkey stock base way in this video. Bravo! Best gravy I have ever made - and (other than making the stock) the simplest! De-boning is the way to go: less waste (when using carcass for stock), easy meat removal, juiciest roasted turkey ever! One issue for me: the skin did not brown as yours did so I carefully broiled the pieces to get browning. Thanks so much again for your excellent guidance and fantastic, amazing, a-child-could-do-this methods. You are my go-to chef for premium recipes and instruction.

[@chrissy6478]

This is way better! I am so doing this. No mess and everything goes in the trash immediately that's not used there's no debate on who cleans up and none of the meat is wasted. I've seen this process done before but he explains it so nicely. 😊

[@chmae1532]

This recipe inspired me, but I didn't wanna cook a whole turkey. So I deboned some chicken legs and used the bones for the stock. This left me with 2 nice "filets" per legs which I cooked in the pan, otherwise exactly the same as Jean-Pierre. I like your style of cooking and your love for the food. I'm also rarely measuring stuff, if you cooked enough you just feel it and with many recipes you could even correct mistakes later, of course there are exceptions.

[@trygginoregon]

Happy Thanksgiving Chef! And congratulations on the number of viewers...but we know there is a great reason for that! We made our turkey using your method this year and it was without a doubt the best turkey we have ever done. It takes all the stress out of cooking the bird and all the parts have the opportunity to be done just right. Loved it! Thanks for your "lessons" and idea creativity. Sure helps.

[@tophatyorkies3577]
