Nice!

[@Viewtoagrill]

Hello JB. Thanks.

[@roscoerevenge]

Turkey neck!!! I’m so dumb, I always toss it. Only makes sense to use it for gravy. It must add extra delicious flavor. Thanks for the tip brotha👍🏾

[@Viewtoagrill]

You are welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@easybackyardbbq]

Do you feel a slow n sear is worth the money for someone like me who cooks hot and fast. Does it keep temps pretty level at high heat? I appreciate your help. Also could you use the slow n sear in a 26 kettle

[@Viewtoagrill]

I love the slow n sear. Check out my video where I compare the 22 inch SnS to the 26SnS.

[@KatMa664]

Can you put foil only on the breast? If you feel it is done? I don’t know if that would keep it from over cooking? I have always thought to just cook the legs separately. Or could they be cut off of the bird and left on the grill a little longer? Would that cause the bird to leach all of its juice? Many years I just cook a breast because my family doesn’t eat the legs. But I think this year I may spatchcock the turkey, which I think would help to get the legs cooked faster. I would really love to be able to stuff the bird, but I do not think I can get the interior to cook enough to be sure that that stuffing is thoroughly cooked. Have you ever done that?

[@Viewtoagrill]

Hello Kathy, You could remove the legs and cook them separately. You would lose the grand presentation of a whole bird though. In all fairness is does make more sence to cook the legs seperate from the breast before you start the cook to get the correct temperature on both. Spatchcocking is a faster more even cook. If you cook on a rack and pan like I do in this video you would at least have the drippings for a great gravy. I do not stuff the bird because of the reason you state... but my mom does.

[@KatMa664]

Thank you, Johnny

[@henrypadilla7763]

Sir can you tell me how you did the gravy please an thank you very much

[@Viewtoagrill]

Hello Henry. I sauté finely diced onion, garlic and celery in two tablespoons of butter, when onions are translucent add two tablespoons of flour stir until blond and add the drippings bring to a boil. If you don’t have enough drippings add chicken stock.. if to lose then add a little slurry of water and flour.

[@ChappysTikiBar]

nice 🦃

[@Viewtoagrill]

Thank You!

[@alliehunter9896]

I read store -bought turkeys come brined, and I shouldn't be brined again. I hope yours wasnt. Love your vids.

[@Viewtoagrill]

It wouldn't matter if it was. Thanks for watching!

[@ninaingram3017]

How to tie the turkey

[@Viewtoagrill]

Hi Nina. I only tied the ankles of the turkey together. I tucked the wings and set the turkey.

[@Mankitchenrecipes]

That turkey looked amazing Johnny! The skin looked fantastic and yes, the breast was still juicy and looked delicious! Happy Thanksgiving!

[@Viewtoagrill]

Hello Kevin. Thank you!

[@Maplecook]

1st!!! Wooooooooot!!!!
