Sam, I think it’s great that you are calling attention to winning the LA house, but realize that a disabled person or an elderly person (living on a fixed-income) could not afford the insurance, taxes or utilities on this place. 🤷‍♀️

I've always heard that Omaze giveaways are a scam. Is this true Sam?

You are an amazing cook. I love your style of cooking. ❤❤❤

I had 2 ads for paper towels during the video thank you very much.

[@johnbhend8565]

Wow! Thank you for taking the time to show start to finish. Spatchcocking a turkey is the way to go based on size and ease of cooking. The camera crew is first rate!

Hosting thanksgiving for the first time this year needed this

[@leannamarie1318]

I love Sam. He helps me not eat the same shit all the time tbh. He's inspired so many dishes in my home and we love it. 🖤

[@dakotalyates]

Me too! That’s exactly the comment I wrote 😂 good luck hosting!

[@martijnbuunk]

Go for IT! Me to and it wil be our first ever. Where we live (Netherlands) it is not so common, only the people who American do it I guess.

[@bobeddy7232]

So my wife and I made this dinner 100% through. Every part and well all I can say is………..the whole family loved it and honestly said this is the best thanksgiving dinner they have ever had. Wish we made more first time in my life we did not have any left overs. Some of our family went out for thirds!!!! Thanks Sam this will become our new tradition!

[@guadalupeortiz9762]

Everything that Sam makes looks incredible 🔥

[@Yovette400]

It really does!

[@catylynch7909]

Great! -- If you roast the bird on a rack, over a deeper pan, you can add the neck, and backbone, to the roasting pan. They will be cooked, browned, and ready for any contribution to gravy/sauce. No need to cut and brown in a separate pan. -- ALL veggies for dressing ... or, whatever dish you need them ... can be chopped a couple of days in advance. Make things easy on yourself. I put veggies, for dressing, in a zip-lock IN THE SAME BAG, to let the flavors blend. -- Freshly sliced mushrooms add a great deal of flavor to a dressing. This might decrease the amount of broth you add to the crumb mixture. Just add a bit at a time, to gauge it. Happy Thanksgiving!

[@melissamayer9983]

You are totally right about the necks for gravy, but there s a different taste from baking it to brown, or top of stove browning. Happy Thanksgiving!

[@Pecosrock5]

Although I have always made a good turkey and I always wet brine for 24 hours, this is the first year I smoked one. It was so awesome. Best ever. I followed your stuffing and gravy recipes. I swear, I have never had anything like it. For the stuffing I used Chorizo. The stuffing had just the right amount of kick. Perfect. The gravy was out of this world.

[@HomesWithHugo]

My wife and I prepared this entire Thanksgiving spread for our family’s! It was a huge success, it was our first time cooking a turkey, but we knew we could trust STCG!

[@barbarakendrick1089]

You guys have totally changed our Thanksgiving for the more betterer! You are inspiration to me since my aneurysm caused me to change, I now cook again! Thank you, keep up the foul language, bantering back and forth and being yourselves as it is just like my family. The whole family now loves your channel! My family is from Canada, eh, and when you say out I hear my family up there. Thanks for the good memories, old and new. Max, excellent filming, Chance, wow those eyes and Sam, you and your restaurants are true winners, keep it up! Love you all!!

[@rkoka4794]

Your cooking videos have become my 3 yr olds afternoon nap routine. Truly enjoy all episodes and content.

[@damonprice4142]

Used your videos for last years (2020) Thanksgiving and it work out fantastically! Will be using this one for 2021! As always Sam, you and your boys create outstanding/quality videos that keep my household eating well! Forever a fan!

[@samthecookingguy]

many thanks from san diego!

Made me love cooking🧑‍🍳

[@WyitAlan]

I just wanted to say thank you for these amazing recipes! We just finished Thanksgiving dinner and your maple carrots were a highlight of the meal only over shadowed by a similar version of your exquisite mashed potatoes! I did my turkey the same way you did except I used a treager and it was one of the best turkeys I've ever had! Thank you for helping to make my holiday incredibly!

[@RobMorganAustralia]

Californian living in Oz.. Doing all of this on Thanksgiving for my family - you are the best!

[@JDon280Z]

Since I'm buy myself now this looks like the perfect thanksgiving dinner for one with leftovers or maybe two if I'm lucky.

[@Estranged180]

You know how they say 'the way to a man's heart is through his stomach', right? The same works in the other direction. If a woman can find a man that can cook well, she'll know he's a keeper, but you still have to be the rest of the 'man' that she's after, whatever that is.

[@MurseBigCat]

Talking about length after a colonoscopy and then having the best meal of the year! Love it!

[@CONTINGENCY_sys]

I gave up on the frozen turkey defrost crap. Fresh bird or fresh bird parts. Same stores big chain same time of year. What a game changer. You just start as you start. So much less stress and the taste... So good.

[@ipodhuman31]

I’ve learned more from Sam than I have at my 4 years in college

[@mannypuerta5086]

Looks great. We normally do a stuffed turkey on the Weber kettle. Adds a hint of smoked flavor to the stuffing, but not overly smoked.

[@gracegardner7291]

Why does anyone pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for culinary school when Sam the Cooking Guy exists??

[@ipodhuman31]

He’s my only teacher

[@shanestrevel2104]

1st. You Rock, love the show! 2. I love the venue, cooking outside, Max and Chase. 3rd, I’m a former chef, however I suffer from a rare disease that renders me unable to cook from time to to time. I help to also cook and take care of my mid 80’s parents. So, your show comes as a relief, as well as handy here in Birmingham, AL. Thank you… and please try and cut back on the omfg! God Bless You and Your Family Sam!

No green bean casserole?! RIOT! :) Looks great. I've been trying to talk my family into brining the birds for years.

@@damien1781 OK, well she probably just dumps a bunch of canned stuff into a casserole dish and bakes it. That doesn't mean making it fresh isn't good, or that being white has anything to do with it. lol

[@outabeat]

My 94 year old grandmother uses a dressing recipe that has roasted chestnuts. The recipe was her mother's and came with them when they moved from Holland. It is absolutely the BOMB!

[@skydomi]

Up here in Canada our Thanksgiving has already been celebrated but I will try some of these methods when I make Christmas dinner this year. I especially like the way you make your gravy Sam. Thanks for posting this video, I appreciate that a lot.

[@violentmeadow]

My in-laws believe in something called ham loaf - the only turkey I am preparing for is Wild Turkey 101

[@n3rfdr4gon99]

Just wanted to say I spatchcocked a bird and made your sausage stuffing last year and it was VERY well received by my sister-in-law's family. I had to look this video up again for reference. Your videos always make me extremely hungry, so I have to watch in moderation lol. Make America Cook Again!

[@thirstfast1025]

"My neck, my back, make some gravy from my scraps"

[@richardbabb8403]

Dude! I made the turkey and gravy; my wife did the potatoes. I'll never cook a turkey any other way. Cooked it at about 380 on the cold side of the grill. THE BEST!!

[@chickenlipz]

Watched you’re video last year and saved myself from cooking that bag inside the neck hole lol

[@vanpatv]

You guys are the BEST! So thankful for you whole team. Happy Thanksgiving.

[@sevnein4919]

I followed your recipes for Thanksgiving and everything came out amazing!!! I love watching your videos every thing you make always looks so incredible.

[@tomtruesdale6901]

That all looks great. You were killing me with the CPR comment as when I was an Firefighter/EMT I did CPR to many times to remember and always cracked a rib or two depending on the age of the patent, also I had surgery yesterday and did the scoot from the gurney to the table thing. You really killed me with the Alien/dick comments LMAO. Over all I am thankful for being alive and cancer free now and for your channel.

[@Estranged180]

My wife is an RN, and has told me, flat out, that if you didn't crack a rib during CPR, you did it wrong. I don't know whether to take her seriously or not. But, if CPR helps you spatchcock that bird, do it. Crack all the ribs.

[@glennquagmire34]

can we just appriciate that sam has to do this over again in 4 days for the actual thanksgiving? he literally gonna be makin 2 thanksgiving meals within 2 weeks. now THATS dedication.

[@beachblond1968]

Wow, Sam! I do Thanksgiving every year - and quite well, if I do say so myself - but I’m absolutely doing my turkey, gravy and potatoes your way this year.

[@jo-annparks7947]

I want to spatchcock my turkey. I like the idea of shorter baking time. Those carrots looked delicious.

[@fredthreet2373]

I love his filet mignon recipe .....for Thanksgiving....been doing that for years now !

Thank you Sam for this video! You again have calmed my fears of changing up my cooking methods. This is one technique I have wanted to learn and you made it so easy! Thanks again🧡 Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family! 🦃

Sam a couple of weeks ago my wife and I made a turkey just like you said in his video...Best turkey we have ever eaten....we re going to do two at Thanksgiving..thanks for the receipe

Did my turkey and it turned out perfect! Thanks.

[@RIDERSONLINEORG]

Sam try brats one time in your dressing. It'll blow your mind! 👍

[@lisastephens77]

@samthecookinguy try buttermilk to keep that "stuffing" moist as well as chicken broth. In the south, we call it dressing and we use fresh cornbread. Yummy

[@johnheckles8239]

Carrots.. you can add a few cumin seeds when you fry them off and then use fresh orange instead of water.. I also use honey not maple and I like to add fresh thyme aswell.. my fav side dish I think 🤔

[@billweare2146]

My Grandad always referred to the tail as the “Popes nose “, much to my Grandmothers consternation at Thanksgiving dinner. I will be harvesting our Tom turkey for dinner and you can be sure that I will be continuing that family tradition!

[@martinm3474]

Sous Vide my turkey then smoked it for an hour. Had parted out turkey and seasoned then put into separate Zip Lock bags for the sous Vide. Wife said it was very good.

[@dockim7125]

Those carrots are to D-I-E!!!! Luv you guys!!

[@ejr5480]

Happy Thanksgiving guys!!

[@mysemicharredlife]

This honestly is how I make my gravy, but the soy paste just changed my world!!! I need more COLOR and will help so much with the umami factor instead of just more salt, LOL!! Thanks Sam, you just helped make my gravy better, I love it!! 🙏🙏🙏

[@RedBKRedderson]

Made this gravy this year and everyone said it was the best they ever had!!!

[@genetilghman6314]

A fresh turkey taste so much better than a frozen one and around here you can go in your backyard and find one

[@markusostertag3032]

Love your show. Suggestion for cooking the potatoes - don't peel them but instead cook them whole with the skin. When cooked, cut them in half and use the poatoe press placing the potatoes with the cut side to bottom. Works like a charm and this way you doont loos taste to the cooking water.

[@BADCATMEDIA]

I'll probably watch this one like 4 times and I've already been taking notes. Love you guys! Hope all is well

[@flyingv8293]

Always fun to watch,and a good time.

[@rodneywilhelm8912]

Don't forget the deviled eggs and rolls. instead of carrots we like to do a once a year green bean casserole.

Love how you refer to the turkey as the kid

You can’t ever forget about the turkey wings!

[@cubanmama4564]

I have too many people coming. I was going to sous vide two turkeys (parts) and brown on the BBQ but now one will be spatchcocked. Thanks for the video today!

[@julievorensky8250]

my mom made the roux w/the turkey drippings (not butter) right in the pan then added the broth etc.

[@peter26514]

Great video. BTW: did you know that you don't have to peel your potatos before you put them in the ricer? just cook them with the skin and then mash them through the ricer. The Skin will stay in the ricer, where you can remove it quick and easy.

[@jeanniebell9493]

Beautiful ! I need twice the stuffing- mad with Bell's seasoning ( no relation.)

[@annieo9468]

K....hold everything. Stuffing is stuffing. It goes inside the bird. DRESSING is 'stuffing' cooked outside the bird. No? OK...my uppity-ness aside...I LOVE watching you cook...you're perfectly wonderful to listen to...and you make some damn fine goodies.

[@albareyes04]

This is freaking awesome and doable. Was going to air fry my 🦃 this year but going to try this method and recipe. Thanks love love you videos. 🙂

I like raisins in my stuffing!

[@Jim-bs8ln]

I’m going to try those carrots for sure but I can’t do the stuff you did with the turkey because I absolutely have to stuff the turkey. I love the stuffing in the bird as opposed to baked in a pan.

Hi Sam, Loved your Thanksgiving feast! Question: Have you ever cooked, smoked, or done anything with YAK meat? My son and I just harvested a male YAK, we ended up with about 500#'s of meat after splitting our bounty with a friend, who got the other 500#'s. Would love to see some YAK videos. I believe YAK is going to be the new beef of the 21st century. Thanks, Woody Midway, Utah

[@marissaperue2970]

I’m disappointed I didn’t get a garlic press. Keep up the good work. Thanks to you my 2&1/2 year old son has the widest variety of tastes and obviously, with having kids you know, that’s a giant advantage in the parenting game.
