Turkey Breast Braised | The French Chef Season 7 | Julia Child

[@RobertHiguera-zi6tu]

I remember Julia child's cooking show it's fun to watch it on TV

[@Mousearello]

A lot of work I don’t think many people would cook this but very interesting to watch. 😊

[@alicepotter8165]

A Sunday supper party.

[@JRandaII]

Yeah well, people don’t cook much nowadays. This is for people who like to cook.

[@macsView]

I'm as excited for this "new" video than I am when Kay or Babish does a new video.

[@tjmurph7108]

Who is Kay? Help me have a new experience!

[@TheSpinDoctor]

I love it when Julia inadvertently thrusts inuendo “the mechanics of the breast are the most interesting part”.

[@twiddle7125]

Make sure you have the proper whacking equipment...

[@johnharper257]

From what I have read about Julia, the innuendo was not inadvertent.

[@TheSpinDoctor]

@@johnharper257 Having read some of the filth in the letters she wrote to her friends and her husband, she knew EXACTLY what she was doing!

[@midwestkatie4]

This episode has to be the inspiration for Dan Akroyd’s portrayal of Julia on Saturday Night Live.

[@josephcollins6033]

How so?

[@josephcollins6033]

She is just SHE!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!

[@Nunofurdambiznez]

That looks absolutely BEYOND DELICIOUS!!

[@jesflory]

2:14 lol she’s so silly.

[@50hellkat2]

This was before slow cookers. lol

[@engrsiaa]

10:00

[@sandrafromtexas1957]

keep the skin and fry it!! good on the carnivore diet

[@KNPrince]

That is where all the flavor is... I mean I can understand why Julia did take the skin off but when it comes to roast turkey.. the best part is the skin in my books!

[@JRandaII]

I have always roasted my turkey breasts with the skin on. It seems to work out and tastes great. But, maybe for braising it doesn’t work out so much. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@joshuaharper372]

The way she talks about it, the fat and skin must have tasted a bit off when frozen, in her day.

[@mrfixit0273]

I don’t know why I watched this all the way through. She pauses so many times like she doesn’t k ow what to do or say next. There was no need to back the turkey to bits like that and she kept talking about a breast when infact she had a turkey crown ( both breasts on the bone) and it ended up looking like something you would feed a dog

[@kennixox262]

Since turkey's are not mammals, why do they have breasts?

[@stephenpmurphy591]

Male turkeys enlarged breast's are used to attract a mate. All flying birds have large breast muscles to assist in take-off and to maintain flight.

[@kennixox262]

@@stephenpmurphy591 Yes, I know that but was alluding to mammary glands.

[@garyfurr1467]

Why are you wasting the turkey

[@LeesaDeAndrea]

She died in 2004. She can no longer answer questions.

[@KNPrince]

Likely not wasting it.. what is left over from the boning process will go into the stock pot for soup or to have turkey stock on hand and frozen for later use.. Julia was renowned for very little waste in her cooking methods..

[@jessrow1275]

This video helps me understand something: JC suggests that turkey is a substitute for veal. I think this was a common misconception in an era when veal was getting prohibitively expensive. My mother cooked turkey all the time when I was little, and I think she was misled by this idea. The truth is that turkey breast is nearly always dry and inedible. I would no more make this recipe than I would braise a cardboard box.

[@Isabella-nd3rq]

Julia’s turkey was anything but dry!

[@ThomasDawkins88]

When you roast something in the oven (dry heat) then you always run the risk of overcooking it and having it dry out if you aren't fastidious about basting or putting some kind of cover on the meat, like pork fat or blanched bacon. Braising something in liquid ensures that it stays moist and flavorful. If it's overcooked, it may fall apart, but it doesn't get dry.

[@brockreynolds870]

This is not something I would ever cook or eat. about 2/3 of anything Julia cooks I would not like, because she dumps wine in EVERYTHING. I don't know who decided it was "gourmet" to cook with rotten grape juice, but it simply doesn't taste good.

[@Nunofurdambiznez]

Clearly of a low-class neighborhood.

[@katvtay]

To call wine rotten grape juice is laughable. I hate drinking it, myself, but a decent wine for cooking certain things is a must-have.

[@shawnking616]

This is a hot mess looks nasty 🤮

[@getoffmydarnlawn]

It's the opposite today, at least by me --- whole turkeys and turkey breasts go way down in price around the holidays and are expensive in the warmer months.
