    I love how MatPat just rambles for ages about how important and difficult the turkey is, because in my family, it's a goddamn title to be able to cook the turkey (one my mom holds very proudly). Actually, I was born the day before Thanksgiving, so while my mom was in the hospital with a newborn, the rest of the nearly 25 people we had for Thanksgiving that year were scrambling to figure out who could actually cook (since my mom does the stuffing, turkey, gravy, and cranberry sauce. This woman knows her Thanksgiving).

This year he spatchcocked it and I had seconds and took leftovers. Thank you so much for making this video. I can actually eat protein at thanksgiving now.

      Yeah, I’ve never liked turkey because my grandma cooks it dead (its soo dry and bland), though we have ham at the table as well and I wouldn’t dare try to tell her how to cook her food… if it was my mom I would suggest this vid to her.

      Do people in the US not have gravy at Thanksgiving? In England, 90% of the time that we have turkey, we have gravy with it and that can save anything. If you have dry turkey, pour on some gravy (the gravy shouldn't be too thick, but definitely shouldn't be too thin) and let it soak in while you eat some veg then eat the turkey.

    • @johnhostetler2167
      @johnhostetler2167 Месяц назад

      Yeah my grandma always cooked the turkey and it's always so dry and so bland, I only ever liked the dark meat because it at least had some flavor and was a little moist but it still wasn't very good, it wasn't until we got a smoked turkey from our neighbor that I realized that I actually liked turkey lol it was so delicious and I couldn't get enough of it, and then a few years later my sister cooked the turkey and she spatchcocked it and it was really good too, I still liked the smoked turkey better tho, I've cooked some turkey legs by myself and I pan fried them and those were also really good, I think a roasted turkey is the worst possible way to cook it lol

      Yea its only hard if you cant follow instructions. Its really kinda troubling to think of how many people seem to think cooking is hard. Its not. If you actually try and are capable of following simple instructions. Be thankful that youre one of the few modern people who can follow simple instructions. We're a dying breed.

    If anyone was confused why Matt brought up CPR with the ribs, when you perform CPR you have a high chance if cracking ribs when you perform CPR as you try to force the ribcage to compress and expand with an outside force.

    • @somedragonbastard

Nice to have the oven at eye level too.

      sous-vide is by far the best preparation. separate the turkey into all its pieces raw. cook for 4 hrs in a water bath (not active). put the pieces on a cooling rack in the fridge (this can be cooked in advance). deep fry to reheat and crisp skin at dinner time. Being able to cook the turkey the day before or in the morning when you arent having to do other things is really nice.

    This is how my mom has always cooked her turkey, and how she taught me to cook a turkey. It's such a time saver!

    I made my very first turkey this year, I'm 36 so I figured it's finally time to adult the f up. I was curious to see if I should have done it differently- and was DELIGHTED to see that y'all did it the way I decided to do it! Mom and I both made turkeys together this year and she was so angry that mine was better, LOL
    I have to give credit to Babish though for giving me the idea, but I am really happy to see the food theorists agree that I did it right from the get go

    My first time hosting thanksgiving I was wrecked with anxiety cause it seemed so hard but my mom helped and I realized, it’s not hard to cook, it’s hard to get all the good time right.
