    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

    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.

    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.🙏🏽🙏🏽🤗🤗

    I followed your instructions 100% and honestly, this was the best turkey I have ever cooked. It was not only show stopping beautiful, the juices ran out of the breast when squeezed. I also followed your video on how to properly carve Turkey; it was amazing to serve this piece of art. Everyone loved and raved about it (it had never happened before - ever) . No more overcooked, dry meat. Thank you for passing on your knowledge and doing it with fun! You're a great man!

Adam Ragusea also has a lot of useful recipes, but the main draw of his channel are the in depth food science videos (he gets real scientists to interview and everything).

    I watched all the videos in prep of Thanksgiving-- so many useful tips I hadn’t used before -- I’m telling you,, I’ve been making Thanksgiving dinner for a lot of years but this year was the first year where people couldn’t stop raving about how good everything was-- even comments like “this is the best I’ve ever tasted”. 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’ve used your turkey recipes for 2 years now, and I’m pretty sure I will for the rest of my life!
    Each year was such a success, and last year my 16-20 pound Turkey was DEMOLISHED between 8 people.
    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.
    Thank you so much & happy holidays 🥰

    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 watched this video several times and followed Chef Jean-Pierre's instructions to the letter. I only added fresh crushed cranberries and rosemary to the stuffing. 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!

It was a 15 lb turkey and we ate the entire turkey (8 people) in two days! We have never ate a turkey to the bones before. The grandchildren loved it and my son (who has never liked turkey) loved it. Thank you so much! We will never ever fix another turkey that isn't done like this!!!

    Thank you! I used this as the base recipe for my very first turkey ever. I brined the turkey. For the herb butter I used a tablespoon each of thyme, sage, and rosemary. Everything else was the same. The hardest part for me was separating the skin from the breast to apply the herb butter. I was successful but it was nowhere near as easy as you made it look. I also made the mashed potatoes from one of your other videos. It was all a big hit and several people said it was the best turkey they ever had, so again, THANK YOU! I can't stress enough how wonderful the orange zest was. I also took your advise and got a thermometer. It was a cheap one and the magnet wasn't strong enough to hold it's weight but it was accurate. Took the turkey out at 155 and let it rest 1/2 hour and it was perfect. I can't imagine how many dinners you helped make better. Must be in the hundreds of thousands if not more. Thanks again.

    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.

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.
    Thank you so much Chef, we LOVE your videos!

      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.

    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.

(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.

    Made (2024) -Thank you Chef! It was delicious, and I loved sitting and watching this whole long video. 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". With your method, I also saved a lot of meat. None will go to waste anyway, as I will be using every scrap for a broth and soup. Thanks again!

    Over the years, I've learned a great deal about how to roast a turkey. I've also learned that it's usually better to make dressing instead of stuffing the bird - that is, put it in a pan. I've never seen a turkey stuffed this way, and I definitely want to try it on my next one.

    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.

    FANTASTIC Video!!! I can’t wait to try your turkey method!! It seems that I learn more about cooking every time I watch you!! And I’m an old lady now! I love your sense of humor and I laugh along as I learn!! Now I need to watch your dressing / stuffing video and the gravy video!! That turkey looked completely amazing!!

  • @violinfx1649

    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

    Watching you on your channel is a highlight of my day. I have been cooking as a home cook for over 50 years. I learned from my Italian Nonna so many years ago. My mother was a good cook too, but she was too. It gives me satisfaction to know that many of the things I do in the kitchen, are just the same as the way you walk us through the teachings. Like the way you carve and platter your turkey. Even the fruits and spices inside the turkey’s cavity and the seasoned butter under the skin of the breast. Yet, I always learn something new from your videos. I have struggled a bit each year, using my large chef’s knife to carve the breasts and legs off. I never thought of using the boning knife. It makes perfect sense. Thanks. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

    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!
