  • Roasting a giant bird can be overwhelming. Rub in melted butter or olive oil; wrap it in cheesecloth soaked in same; tent it with foil. Roast the bird breast side down; baste the breast; never baste it. As with most anything done in the kitchen, overweening is its own destroyer. Too much attention easily slinks into too little achievement. Bill St. John roasted four turkeys to prepare for - and to discover - his message to you this Thanksgiving: Just roast the dang turkey as a whole; everything will be fine, mammaries included. Here are his tips on how to thaw, prep, roast, and carve a turkey.

      No such thing as "vegetarian turkey", unless you have some turkey broth infused tofu....but you still have the turkey broth. Just eat turkey..it's delicious!

    If a cook knows what they are doing, you do not need a bag in which to roast a turkey. To me, the bag makes the skin on the turkey slimy, which keeps the turkey from slicing nicely. I prefer the skin to be slightly crisp, as it slices so much better. I like to wash my own turkey, just like Lucille Ball used to be slapping those turkeys and looking all down in them. I like such seasonings as accent, garlic, onions, celery, sage, and various sauces such as soy/ I season under the skin with olive oil and butter and all the aforementioned seasonings. I like large turkeys and never under about 18 pounds. At a temperature of about 325, I cook the turkey according to the directions. I place a piece of foil over the top and shape it like a tent, so that the foil does not stick to the turkey. The last hour, I remove the foil so that the turkey finishes browning to my liking, usually a nice golden brown. I don;t base the turkey because I found it is unnecessary and makes the skin slimy. When I remove it from the oven, I make sure I place it away from the heat so that the meat does not dry out. It is always perfect, juicy and moist and people want to take several slices home for sandwiches during the week. I guess that means it must be good, along with my flavored rice. Ancient chinese secret.

    Dude you ARE old school.
    It's FAT that adds flavor to the turkey.
    And for the LAST time, dietary fat does NOT make you fat!

    Different pages give different temperatures for doneness. I have seen 165 f in the thigh is when to take it out and let rest. I'm so confused. 😟

    • @nikkole9951
      @nikkole9951 6 лет назад

      I’ve always heard 165 too. I’d go by that.

    • @adrianacanales5924
      @adrianacanales5924 5 лет назад

      Many chefs say 162 degrees at the thigh because it keeps cooking once you take it out and it cooks to 165 after 15-20min. covered. Ive always done this and it comes out soo juicy. 👌🏻

    Aluminum Foil is NOT a "rack" OK?
    A RACK is a rack. Case closed.

    And once again, like everyone else, you're putting the spices just on the SKIN, instead of of putting them, in between the skin and the meat!

    It doesn't keep rising in temperature after taking it out of the oven, though.

    And WHAT is "wrong" with burned wing tips?
    NOTHING!!!!!!!!!

  • @a.barnard3205
    @a.barnard3205 4 года назад

    And for those of you, who STILL can't correlate the temperature, with the minutes per pound, then maybe you should just do something else.

    • @jumpinjohnnyruss
      @jumpinjohnnyruss 4 года назад

      What do you mean "still"? Do you think everybody's cooking experience parallels yours? Or do you just think that everyone besides you might as well be treated as if they're the same person?
