John,, Turkey looked delicious. That is a great idea to brine the turkey in the cooler. I did not think about that. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
@fattymoko10 жыл бұрын
Oh yeahhhh! I brine my turkeys too, it's the only way. The last time I did a 20 lb. turkey a few years back I almost fell into the oven trying to get it out. So now I have to roast 3 12 lb.ders, no kidding. I use butter and only garlic powder, salt and pepper to season but my brine has equal amounts of salt and sugar in it. Really beautiful turkey, Jnull. And wonderful spread. Nothing like family and friends gathering around to celebrate Thanksgiving! Can't wait to see how you prep the pheasants. Maybe a sweet peach or maple bourbon glaze?

I told my husband all about your video, so yesterday for Thanksgiving we tried it and OMWord..... it was the most succulent, moist, well cooked turkey we have EVER, EVER made! My husband LOVES turkey.... but it is always so dry. Your method was AMAZING! It is the 1st time, I actually enjoyed turkey. SO much so, I had seconds. hahaha So THANK YOU JOHN!!!!! You just put our Thanksgiving meal over the top. And, impressed my husband speechless, which rarely happens. He just kept saying.... DAMN I can't believe what a difference that made! hahahaha

Your next homestead challenge.... raising your own turkeys for Thanksgiving and Christmas! If you try it, here is some free valuable advice...turkeys are notorious for finding ways to die but they do great if you keep them in with your chickens. They seem to learn how to survive from the chickens. Its true. We raised two last year and one came to 47 pounds! You will be amazed at the difference in size and taste, my friend. Great videos!

Thank you for this great video- I just bought a 15.30lb brined bird and will use your "flip" method - I was just getting nervous talking with my husband last night about how many hours at 30 minutes a pound it was going to take - I thought I would have to wake up in the middle of the night! ha! my goodness. please wish me luck - we are having a big crowd here. I loved the spread you put out for your family and friends- looked like a good time! Happy Thanksgiving!

IT WORKED !!! just finished eating and am showing my family the inspiration for my "flipped" bird :) everyone agreed it was the best one I've made yet! we all wanted to thank you. They all loved your video too. 15lb turkey 2 hours flat! @ 375 first hour and then went down to 350 for the rest of cook time - I also used a brined bird and injected it last night with butter, stock and spices - I used fresh herbs in softened butter (about a pound!) and rubbed into skin and under the skin / inside cavity. made a nice giblet gravy too adding some lemon zest. I am grateful for your method - like I said... IT WORKED :) all the best for the holiday.

You don't have to label the container for rubs only. You should use a big spoon to scoop it out, then it won't contaminate the margarine. By putting you hand in the margarine container every time you rub a bird, you contaminate the margarine again and again.

John, you need a super sized rotisserie. ;) My mother used to cook hers breast side down until the last 1/2 or 1 hour (don't really remember exact time), then she would have my Dad flip it onto it's back so the breast would brown. I don't bother flipping it. I just cook it breast side down till it's done. I LOVE the crispy skin on the back. :P

This was the best mistake I ever made. I cooked a bird upside down one time by accident it was half way done before I realized it. Flipped it over and tried everything to brown the skin. Learned two things that day, one was butter is a cooks best friend the other, sometimes good things come out of doing it wrong.
