Turkey recipes

[Sol Tee Nutz]

Cooking a bird this year again, son and I love it ( vegetarian lasagna for my daughter ).
After searching I decided to try the Gordon Ramsey Christmas Turkey recipe... I looks like it could be great.

^^^Incredible!!!!

I put a lot into turkeys. I brine mine over night in a 5 gallon bucket with two cups of salt and other spices.

Pat it dry with paper towel in the cavity and then I pull the skin back and use butter, olive oil, and poultry seasonings to massage and spread into the bird.

I prepare stuffing by sauteing garlic, onions, and celery in a stick of butter with fresh seasonings (chicken broth can be used in place of the butter) and I tear up a loaf of bread and fill a large bowl. I stuff the cavity.

Next, I use soybean oil to imbibe or saturate a brown paper bag and then I put the turkey inside until the internal temperature is 165F.

I pull the bird out and rest it at least 30 minutes.

Latest tip: I just learned the following: I remove the breast in one piece after resting and then cut against the grain. This is critical for juicy meat.

Merry Christmas and happy New Year. Enjoy your turkey!!!

I always wet brine my turkey for 2-3 days in cooler and inject it with butter afterwards. I also baste it with duck fat every hour or so. I also cover it with bacon in order to keep it moist.

Although unconventional, my best Turkey was brined and put on the smoker low and slow. It was very moist, which we all love....

I'm more of a traditionalist, Oven baked turkey, bread stuffing, sweet potatoes, and green beans. It is my favorite meal to make during the holidays.

Then try my method. I could talk you through it. Having said this, I want to try Gordon Ramsey's method.

Well we had Christmas dinner last night and the bird was superb, probably one of the better ones I have cooked. Excellent flavor and juicy, my new go to recipe.
