Giant 36lb Turkey Prepared Two Ways
This turkey seemed like a difficult task, but a divide and conquer approach was a success! Breaking into primals, dry brining, then smoking half and cooking the rest with a precision cooker and deep fry finish...this was a huge holiday win!
Dry brine (per 4lb of turkey):
1tbs kosher salt
1tsp paprika
1tsp garlic powder
1tsp onion powder
1tsp dried thyme
1 heaping tsp raw brown sugar
Smoked turkey was cooked at 300F. Sous vide thighs at 150F for two hours; breast at 145F for 2.5 hours, then finished for a few minutes in the deep fryer.
If you're looking for a precision cooker, I have the first edition of the Anova. A couple current options are:

This Genoa salami is delicate, yet flavorful! Flavored with black peppercorns, garlic, and red wine, this is a delicious snack or great food pairing option. For the recipe, percentages are based on meat weight. It's easiest to measure in grams, just for math. For example, the cure is .25%, so if your loin is 1000g, the calculation is 1000x.0025 (or .25%), which equals 2.5g of cure. Weigh your m...

For those saying they can't buy beef fat in their area, just buy bags if Suet. Suet is the purest cleanest fat on the entire cow, found around the kidneys. $10 of suet will get a hefty amount of finished tallow and will render down much faster with no waste of "cracklings" at the end.
Yeah, that's a great tip! Thanks for that. 😁👍👍
Being my sous vide is a little small. If I tried the same recipe with the same cut of meat. Is there any reason why I can't cut it in half after the cure is finished? That way it would fit in my sous vide.
@@jonathanjones7319 Totally! That would 100% work. 👍👍
I'll try not to crowd your comment section too much but I am so enjoying your channel. Sous vide was ingenious. I made one many years ago but I ordered the birds already boned. He removed the wings and drums from the chicken and duck. It was expensive and while he was pretty nice about it he basically said he was never doing it again. The turkey was a bit dry. I did it in a roasting bag so it wasn't too bad. The next year I used boneless breasts and thighs and pounded them thin and made a sort of poultry puzzle for the inner layers. That was easier but then I decided I was done. Yours was gorgeous. The family had to be thrilled.
No, I love the comments! Yeah, the boning process does take a while, so I could see a butcher not enjoying it, unless he was charging a good amount for the time it would take. Cooking this from the inside out is the sure-fire way to prevent the turkey from drying out, as the final oven cooking time for it is so brief. That's a fun idea with the 'poultry puzzle' - I may have to try something more like that in the future. Thanks for the kind words! We all loved it. So much fun. 😁
Came for the recipe, stayed for the entertainment. You're a good sport. I do have a question-how hot was it? I'm a wimp. How much would you reduce the habaneros to make a milder but still with a kick level of heat. Similar to Tajin Chamoy, if that helps. Probably an impossible request. I'm thinking to process the habaneros separately and add a bit at a time but it would help me to know how much to buy.
Hey, there! Thanks for the kind words. 😁 So, this one has a decent - but not obscene, by any means - amount of heat. Based on what you're saying, I'd aim for maybe half the amount of habaneros; you could replace that with a similar quantity of the bell peppers, and then the recipe would be the same consistency, only less spicy. You could totally go with your plan to process the peppers separately and then keep adding them until you hit your desired heat level; then, you could heat process to pasteurize. Let me know what you wind up doing and how you like it! 😁👍👍
@@ThisDadGoesTo11 Thanks for the reply and the suggestion to sub with bell peppers for the proper consistency-I hadn't thought of that. Appreciate the guidance. I'll make it after New Years and when I do I'll check in. Hope you and yours have a fantastic holiday. With all the good things you make I bet your guests are thrilled to be invited.
You've got some mad skills there. Everything looks wonderful.
Hey, thanks! I was really glad I could pull this off (but maybe happier to get that monster out of my freezer! 🤣).
Holy crap Bat Man! Put the the wings elbows out, tie a rope to it, and presto, you've got a boat anchor. I partially smoked a turkey on my offset, then finished it by deep frying, and also did Texas style smoked turkey breast just for s**ts and giggles. family seemed to like it. (biiiiiiiltong)😃
🤣🤣🤣 Ahoy, there! Thanks for the laugh. Oooohhh...I like that idea of the combined smoked/fried turkey move. I'll have to try that next time! That breast sounds delicious, too! Yes...the biltong! I really need to borrow my buddy's biltong box and get some of that going. I was hoping to get to more projects this holiday break, but I came down with a wicked case of bronchitis (I can't tell you how much of a hassle it was to edit my hacking and near-death experiences out of this video 😵💫) and that slowed me down a lot. Believe me, though, it's definitely on the to-do list! Thanks for watching and engaging. 👍👍
Another great video, keep 'em coming (at 11, of course)!
Thanks, my friend! 😁
You’ll be eating leftover turkey sandwiches for 3 years with a dinosaur like that.
Still working on those leftovers, even after making a bunch of turkey soup. Some will be hitting the freezer, for sure.
That all looked really delicious. Nicely done, and thank you for sharing!

Thanks! 😁👌
thanks for the instructions 👍
@@madness03 My pleasure. Happy grilling!
Why use sous vide, not a double boiler?
The main reason is that I own one and find it easy for this. You could definitely use a double boiler, as long as you keep an eye on the temperature. You want it warm enough to effectively extract all the flavor, but not so hot as to boil off the alcohol.
I shall certainly be giving this one a go, keeping it at 11 of course!!
@@Paul-RSA Fantastic! It's so easy to make and far cheaper than pre-made bitters. You can totally play around with the flavors, too. Let me know how it goes! 😁
Cool
Thanks! 🥃
Looks amazing!
Thanks! 😁
Nice, when I was a kid on the farm we raised chickens that size, usually 120 - 150 birds per spring. I am going to try this recipe but I'll use Calabrian chili sauce, we like it spicy here, even the wifey likes it spicy. Thanks for the vid.
@@brwhyon That's awesome. We have chickens in our backyard, but just for eggs...for now. 🤣 Yeah, the Calabrian chili sauce will be amazing! 👍👍
Keep it at 11, brilliant!
🤗 Thanks!
Well Done Sir! I've read alot of naysayers regarding the sous vide Turducken, but u just gave me the confidence I needed. Do you think theres any way you could prep this early, then roast on the day? Or is it a 'day of' dish.
Thanks! This really is a delicious and impressive dish to serve up for a crowd. This method is the only way I would ever do it. So, as to your question...you would need to actually cook it day of, as the whole idea is that you're cooking it from the inside-out (which you wouldn't be able to replicate for reheating on a second day). Now, I prefer to do all the prep work the day before. This means making all the stuffing and setting it aside in a bowl. Bone out all the birds. I take the boned turkey and lay it skin side down on plastic wrap on a cutting board. I then lay down more plastic, then the boned duck. I cover that in plastic wrap and put it in the fridge. I stuff the boned chicken, truss, vacuum seal, and refrigerate. Then, the rest of the stuffing also goes in the fridge. Day of the feast, I fire up the precision cooker and put in the chicken, once it's at temp. After the two hours, I pull out the duck, sprinkle stuffing, add the cooked chicken, truss, and repeat. After the two hours and crisping of the duck skin, the turkey comes out, sprinkle stuffing, add duck, truss, and roast. With all the messier, time-consuming prep done the day before, there is a lot of down time in between. It's perfect for a Christmas or Thanksgiving day, as I'm around the house, anyway, and I can still easily participate in any festivities, with some short bouts of working on the turducken. Plus, if you have any guests around, they can see the cool process of a monstrosity cooked from the inside-out. Hope that helps! Try it out, and you won't be disappointed. Let me know how it goes! 😁👍👍
Your video is great, thank you for this easy recipe. Only change, I am using my keto friendly sugar. Allulose, monk fruit blend for the simple syrup.
That's a great idea! Awesome that you're able to adapt it for your needs. How did it turn out? 😁
@@ThisDadGoesTo11 I wanted to wait and answer you after I made my Limoncello. It turned out great, I am so excited to tell you my mixture of Allulose and monk fruit blend worked. Now I am guilt free and still sticking to my Keto. I did use about 1 1/2 -1 3/4 cups of my mixture of sugar. Also, I don't know if it is exceptable but I saved the lemon peels and putting it in my lemoncello margarita. Can't wait to try more of your recipes. Thank you from Virginia. USA.
That's great to hear! It's good to know that this recipe can be modified for Keto. 😁 As far as saving the peels goes, that's just brilliant! Thanks for the update on your efforts with this recipe. Cheers!
Well done, great video! Good info and good camera work. Thanks, from down here in the south.
Thanks so much! I hope you found it helpful. If you try it, let me know what you think! 😁
Can you make summer sausage?
Now, there's a video idea! Yeah, that's on the agenda, for sure. Stay tuned. 👍👍
Can you do a video showing how to make it with not all the hot spices?
Hi! So, if you want it mild, just make it without the hot pepper paste and red chili flakes (like in the one version I made here). That one is super mild. There are peppercorns in it, but I don't think anyone would ever have a slice and suggest it's spicy. Hope that helps! 😁
EXCELLENT!!! Thank you for the straight to the job video with no extra bs chitter chatter!!
@@wtf8020 Hey, my pleasure! Hope it was useful. 😁

🤣 Totally! Thanks. 👍👍
Great channel!
Thanks! Glad you're enjoying it. 👍👍
I like eye of round for making deli meats. I only use some ground black pepper in the cure mix. After curing I will use a pastrami rub on some of the roasts and leave the others plain. I hot smoke the roasts at about 225F on my reverse flow smoker until the roasts reach an interior temperature of 140F then tent them while they cool. When they are done I cut the smoked corned beef into meal size roasts and slices. The pastrami gets sliced for sandwiches. After that I vacuum pack everything and put it in the deep freeze until needed.
Man, that sounds delicious! Great stuff. I'm so sad about the eye of rounds...there was a store here that would put them on a crazy sale about once every month or two, and I'd stock up to make all sorts of beef charcuterie, but they stopped doing that a while ago. I have to be really picky about how often I buy it, now. 😒
I can't give you a thumbs up on your videos. 😢 YT glitch?
Dang! That's super weird. I just checked it, and it looks like (pun?) the button should be there. Must be a glitch, like you say. Thanks for trying! 😁
I had a cherry tree get winter killed last year. What's you're opinion of cherry wood for smoking flavour?
I love it! I actually just picked up a few bags of cherry wood pellets for my Pit Boss. I look at apple, maple, and cherry as fairly similar woods, particularly with the smoke intensity they impart. I usually go back and forth between those three. I've never had a side-by-side with the three types of wood, so I couldn't speak to subtle differences between them. They're all good, though, I'd say. 😁
Are you not worried about briquets off gassing before they glow? I dont know if this is an actual worry.
No, not really. Also, for any of my longer brick smoker projects, like large quanitities of brisket, pork shoulder, etc., I wind up needing to keep adding coal to keep my Hummer fueled up and hot. So, even if I waited on the initial firing, I'd still be having new briquettes light up during the smoke. From what I've read, the main danger from charcoal (lump or briquettes) is the carbon monoxide production, which doesn't impact the meat. If there is some othe rminor issue with the briquettes, I just realize that everything we do is killing us slowly, anyway. 🤣 So, enjoy that meat while you can! Thanks for the question. Not sure if I was helpful or not.
When ot reached the target weight and you vacuum sealed it, where did you store it? In the fridge?
Yes, I refrigerate it. I actually have a keg freezer that's temperature controlled at just above freezing, which I use for homebrew clarification and charcuterie storage. I usually place the bags on top of the kegs in there, so I'm not occupying a bunch of room in my regular fridge. 👍
Do you have a brine recipe for corned beef? I like the % of weight measurements that you use. It makes for a much more accurate recipe for brines. I have a whole brisket from my side of beef to play with. 🇨🇦
Hey, thanks! I like the accuracy and the ability to adjust for any size of meat. I have begun a spreadsheet, where I have my ingredients for each recipe, along with the calculations. All I need to do is input the weight, and everything is instantly calculated! It makes everything so much quicker. So, I haven't made plain corned beef, as I'm usually heading more towards a pastrami (check my pork loin pastrami vid! ruclips.net/video/VPfg4QJyt7E/видео.html ). Corned beef is typically a more plain version of the initial cure I use in that video. You could take the brisket and go as plain as: .25% cure #1, Prague Powder 1, or other sodium nitrite cure (base on manufacturer's recommended amount, if it differs) 2.5% kosher salt or other non-iodized salt You could also jazz it up a bit with some extra seasonings...I'd be sorely tempted to fire in some garlic powder and maybe onion powder...go with your preferences, for sure. Then, to cook, you could cut in managable hunks and simmer in water, which I guess is more traditional. I think I'd be more tempted to either steam in a roasting pan or even hot smoke, if you want some of that smokey flavor in it. I don't think there's a wrong answer, as long as you find it delicious! Hmm...now I think I should maybe make some of this for myself. If you try something, let me know what you did and how you like it! 😁
Two questions if I may. Your video calls for Prague #1. The ingredients list says #2. Which is it? In the first sentence in instructions, it says to crust meat? Thanks for the help. I am getting the stuff together to make this.
Okay, I have no idea how I messed that up, but I fixed it. #1. You could get away with #2, really, but I used 1. Thanks for catching that! Crusting the meat is just freezing it a little, so it's a little "crusty," but not actually frozen. It makes it easier to grind, as the fat is less likely to melt and gum up the grinder. Hope that helps! 😬
@@ThisDadGoesTo11 That does help. Thank you.
@toms.3977 No problem! 👍👍
Given to OL grinder a work out 💪. That's Kool you have help making/stuffing, I end up a one man band 99% of the time. The Salami L👀KS DEADLY
Yeah, that baby ran the gauntlet, but she's a glutton for punishment. 🔥🔥 Yeah, a lot of the jobs I do lend themselves to one-man action, but the stuffing in particular is way easier with a second set of hands. You should let some of the friends who undoubtedly benefit from your hard work know that they should volunteer to assist. Just show them how it looks to work dat meat, and you'll be messaging them off with a stick. 🤣 Thanks, man.
Sorry, it's .5%=2.5g .8%=4g i thought he said 5%and 8%. Hope this helps ya.
Indeed, .5% and .8%. If you make this, let me know what you think! Good luck!
I think I calculated the percentage to grams. It's 375G of all-purpose flour, 125 g of wheat 80% of eggnog is 350 g 5% of cinnamon is 25 g. I don't figure the 8% of nutmeg. 10% of Brown sugar is 50G. Three percent of vanilla is fifteen grams, and eleven is a hundred and twenty five grams
Hey, again. Yeah, just multiply 500 by those numbers, and you get the correct amounts. 👍
Im new to sourdough how do you put the % into grams.
Hey, there! I updated my recipe to explain the calculations. Baker's percentages mean you take the flour weight (500g total, in this case) and multiply by the percentage. It really helps for scaling the recipe for different sized loaves. Thanks for the question! 😁
Cool gonna try, does all the meat have to be removed from the fat ? Thanks
@doenjohnjo434 Nice! No, you don't have to remove all the meat. Might give you a little sumpin' sumpin' on those crispy bits to eat afterwards. 😛 Good luck with the tallow!
@ Ok good stuff thanks again great video.

Looks amazing! Do you think that recipe could work also as a hot smoke pork loin ham? Similar to some of your other pork loin recipes.
Yeah, I'd say so, for sure! You'd obviously have a different finished product, as it wouldn't have the same moisture loss and whatnot, but I can't see how it wouldnt be delicious. I'm going to have to try that, too. Thanks for the idea! 😁👍👍
That pizza looked like the bomb dude. sauerkraut for the win
Thanks! Yeah, it was a stroke of genius that really paid off. So good. 👌
Hi, new sub here !! Would you say in theory that this recipe and back bacon recipe is the same and yield the same results ? Difference would be the thickness of the slice ?
Hey, there! So, you're pretty close. The salinity is just a little higher in the deli ham, and the seasonings are different (sugar and pepper in the bacon; juniper, rosemary, and pepper in the ham). Other than than, the curing and smoking processes are basically the same. 😁 Thanks for the question and for coming along for the ride!
👍 👍 🍻
@@Chris-ut6eq Thanks! Right back at ya! 🍻🍻
I love your videos. Have you experimented with blotting them with paper towels rather than a full rinse after curing? I think it would make them more flavorful and, of course, spicier in this case.
Hmmm! That's interesting. I haven't made one yet where I didn't rinse off. I think it's largely because the liquid in the bags seems like something I want to discard, and it might push the salinity of the meat higher than I'm looking for. That's why I usually end up adding other spices/paste/flavortown to the meat after rinsing and drying, prior to wrapping. I should maybe try a side-by-side comparison of rinsing vs. patting dry sometime, though! Thanks for the question. 😁
@@ThisDadGoesTo11 A comparison video is a great idea. I thought the idea of an equilibrium cure was that you wouldn't be able to over-salt the meat. I could be wrong, though, as I'm VERY new to this and just started curing my first batch of guanciale.
No, you're correct. I haven't actually tasted the liquid left in the bag before, but I imagine it would still be a little salty, which is where that thought came from. I'm not sure what might still be in that solution with regards to the cure, so I've always just tossed it and rinsed off the meat, creating more of a clean slate prior to dry aging. Still, I might just have to give it a try. Ooooh...guanciale! Love it. I haven't made that in years. We used to butcher pigs ourselves, so it was easy to harvest the jowls just how you wanted them. Super tasty! Good luck with that. 👍👍
Im gonna guess your favorite color is DRAB green😁
So drab. 🤣
Thanks for the great idea, will have to give it a try, I don't have a curing chamber but I have a cold room in my basement. I've hung Pfefferbeiser in it before for drying and it works great.
Right on! Yeah, I know a guy who dry ages stuff in his basement, too. He says that he keeps an eye on it and, when the exterior seems to be getting hard and risking not letting further moisture out, he puts it in a Ziploc bag for a few days to help equalize a bit, then returns it to hanging. If you try this recipe, let me know what you think! Good luck. 😁
What a great experiment! All the possibilities sandwiches, pizza just to name a few. I need a curing chamber so I can join in the fun.
Indeed! I've done all of that with this. So tasty! I definitely recommend getting a chamber...these charcuterie projects aren't very difficult; they just require patience. 😁
