    Hi Chef Jean Pierre! I had to tell you that for the first time ever I tried your recipe for the BEST turkey and it certainbly was. My wife, who had to give me some adult supervision :) said it was the best turkey she has ever tasted and she's been doing the turkey dinner for over 45 years! It was an absolute HIT, everyone loved it. You always say it's so easy "a child couyld do it", well this was essy enough for a truck driver to do it so, kinda the same thing!
    We also added your cranberrie reccipe, fantastic!!
    Love your passion for cooking and teaching. Thank you

    Omg Chef. It's been a whole year since I watched your video from last year. Last year I was told I had terminal liver cancer and given 6-12 months but it's been over 16 months. Thanks to the glory of God.
    Thank you Chef for an amazing year watching your videos... blessings to you my friend. It's been an amazing year and a bit.🙏🏽🙏🏽🤗🤗

    THE BEST TURKEY EVER
    I have been cooking turkey for holidays for 40 years and this recipe (and a turkey from a local farmer) made the best tasting meal. A huge help was also the tutorial on carving the turkey. No more dried white meat. Thank you Chef Jean-Pierrre, you are truly a professional.

    Chef Jean Pierre. I love you. You are my escape from all the worries I have about "healthy eating." I read today about the value of mindlessness over mindfulness, and to me, YOU are my "mindlessness." Your videos are fantasies. This sounds like an insult, but food is my LOVE--how can anyone not live for best-ever food-- and having you bring this truth alive without regard for anything but its JOY is PRICELESS. Don't ever stop. When I need you, you are there.

I am a huge Jacque Pepin fan & he has by far taught me so much especially techniques in the kitchen, every single job in the kitchen is important. I love your passion Chef & I have made many of you recipes some I follow step by step some I may add or omit something like your mashed potatoes I have to add heavy cream and a ricer is the only way a perfect example. Your website all your videos are exceptional I binge watch your videos all the time. For hours I watch them. Thank you so much for doing what you are doing for the culinary world and making us home chefs a lot better than we already are. God bless Chef. You’re the best!! Perfect turkey BTW….

I even purchased the rack, utensils, and thermometer Chef Jean-Pierre uses beforehand. This was the first time I ever prepared and baked a turkey, a 13 lb bird. The turkey turned out excellent. The white meat was just as soft, moist, and tender as the dark meat. The best turkey I have ever eaten! Superb. Bravo, Chef Jean-Pierre!

    I also have to say I’ve never seen a chef that’s so clean and you make a point of how important it is. I always have my bleach/soap/water pail and sprayer handy all the time. I couldn’t agree more how important cleanliness is in a professional kitchen & just as important the home kitchen because we never want to make our family sick because of our ignorance of sanitation. I highly recommend a hospitality web based course that you can get credit for teaches you everything you need to know about kitchen safety, cleanliness, etc. I believe the training name is 360trainjng. Great course. You’ll learn a lot & make you a much better cook. Chef Jean teaches a lot of what’s in the training.

For the next two days, my family wouldn’t stop eating the leftovers--and I didn’t even have to force them!😊 It’s amazing how some pretty simple ingredients and techniques make a world of difference-- I love how you really teach us, not just demonstrate--thanks for all you do, Chef JP!

    I can't tell you how much I appreciate a guy who puts a few sticks of butter up in that turkey skin. See people putting it all over the outside, does nothing. See some people putting half a stick in there lol... does nothing unless you use A LOT. Lather that sucker up with some seasoned butter, right under the skin. You have to have enough butter in there because it's all gonna melt off. You need enough to really season the whole breast. And if you have stuffing... GOOD LORD, it's amazing. And the drippings? YES. Glad to see he even added more butter to the top. It's gonna melt off but it will season the top of the breast and the skin. SEASONED BUTTER IS KEY! God bless this amazing man.

    It was so juicy, flavorful and easy to follow!
    I have small kitchen space and I really appreciate that I didn’t have to take additional steps like brining, to achieve that flavorful juiciness.

As I was carving my turkey I was laughing at myself saying, "I cannot believe that for nearly 60 years I never knew how to carve a turkey until Chef Jean-Pierre taught me".

I hate seafood and I even watch all the seafood videos. I'll never cook them but I watch them anyway because Chef JP is so entertaining. But I have cooked several of his recipes. Most recently was beef Stroganoff and my son said it was the best beef stew he ever ate! The videos are great, the chef is great, the editing is great. Yesterday's video with the Bermuda Triangle/Rectangle cracked me up. I had to pause this turkey video because I was laughing too hard. I would love to see a Q&A with chef JP. Why did he hate the induction cooktop so much?

    Thank you Chef, the turkey was awesome! Moist, flavorful, tender, wow! And for those not as adventurous as Chef is when it comes to butter, we used less butter under the skin (but lots of seasoning) and rubbed the leftover all over the outside of the skin, and still got the best turkey ever! The thermometer placement trick also worked, took about 3½-4 hours at 325 for a 20lb bird.

      Thermometer placement did not work for me, got to 160 after 2 hours in Convection Roast oven. I put it into the breast and it is reading 125 so I must not have put it in the correct place. I felt the joint and backed it off just like he did. Now I'm not sure when to take it out. I guess I'll hop to 155 in the breast and see.

    Great recipe!!! Today I tried the chef's sage orange butter recipe and it came out perfect. I did have to microwave the butter to soften it enough to adhere to the bird. (I normally spritz it with olive oil instead of butter) Mine was 16 pounds and It cooked it for about 3 hour 15 min to get to the right temperature. I stuffed both ends of my bird with the fruit & onions. I have a digital thermometer and I started checking it when it was getting close. That worked fine.

    Thank you Chef. I made this for TG. The bird was so moist, it was still moist as leftover the next day. Made the honey glazed salmon for 1 guest who couldn't eat turkey - also wonderful. Hope your holiday was all you wanted it to be. Rick

    First time busting down as chef of Thanksgiving. I think I got it. Surprisingly calm because I've watched this video dozens of times to memorize Jean Pierre's antics.
    --- And it was the best turkey everyone has had in years. Great. Now I'm cooking thanksgiving from here on out. Dammit chef. My wife watched and helped with the buttering but at first she was very very confused. Fun to make if you don't mind the mess.

    I used this recipe today and every one of my guests said it was the best turkey they'd ever had. 8 guests and an 18 Lb turkey and we didn't have any leftovers. In the past I've tried roasting bags, brining and even frying once. Who knew all it took was a gob of "buddah." 😂 It was so juicy it honestly didn't even need gravy. This will be my go-to turkey recipe forever. Thanks Chef!

    Chef, I followed your turkey recipe this year and wanted to say thank you. I had a 24 1/2 pound bird so timing had to be spot on to ensure it was ready in time for our guests. I did exactly what you did using the sage butter under the skin and lathered all over the top of the bird. I had two Bluetooth probes in the turkey, one in the thigh and one in the breast. Pulled the bird when thigh temp reached 157. Breast temp was well below that but I knew temp would rise while resting. The turkey was absolutely perfect when I carved it like you did. Juiciest turkey I have ever cooked and I have done many over the past five decades. Will never do one any other way. Your method is the best and I received many compliments regarding tenderness and moistness. Made sure to tell them it was your method so suspect you’ll be getting some more subscribers. Thanks again chef.
    P.S. breaking those wings was a little tricky but I managed to crack those suckers and get them tied behind the birds back.

    • @tedpytlik8123
      @tedpytlik8123 24 дня назад +1

      @ As I remember it took about 4 1/2 hours to reach those temperatures. About 12-13 minutes per pound give or take. The probe readouts told me when to pull the bird but for planning purposes I’d plan for about 12 minutes per pound at 350°. Turkey also needs to rest about 20 minutes or so. Hope this helps.

    Truly my best Christmas turkey ever. A total hit! I made an herbed butter with fresh herbs, garlic, and spices. I stuffed it full of apple, orange, onion, and piled excessive butter on the outside just like Jean-Pierre did. I made gravy from the turkey drippings, butter, apple, orange, onion, mixed with bone broth I'd frozen from thanksgiving, it was was the most delicious (and rich) gravy I've ever made. Thanks
