You know how you put pairs of socks in the dryer, and one sock ALWAYS disappears? The missing mashed potatoes were sucked into the missing sock vortex.
Old birds are tough. Usually birds are butchered at 8 - 12 months. Also cook it slow for around 6 hours. That size should be 6 to 7 hours stuffed or 5 to 5 and 1/2 hours unstaffed. Keep basing it to keep it from drying out. I also put brandy or cognac inside to tenderize and help sterilize. I have a great stuffing recipe that you can cut out of both ends like a loaf and slice. I am sure I can do it with ingredients that you would have back then. You tried. It looks good.
History says potatos like squas was native to South America, along Peruvian lines. North Americans were afraid at first to eat any vegetables that were not listed in the Bible.
You are right, pumpkins and some other forms of squash originated in North America and we're very important to First Nations peoples as were corn and beans.
OMG....Justine...!!! You were (trying) to cook a 20lb+ turkey...1723....or whenever....let's go with " A LONG TIME AGO" and it didn't turn out!! That's OKAY!! I THINK you are the only woman this year to do that. Anyway....at least you tried. But what happened to the mashed potatoes 🥔 🤔... now that is a mystery!! Loved the video 📹 and the chat after. You two are perfect together. Love ya both!! And Mish Mish!! Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🦃
The secret to the best turkey is to brine it over night. I have been brining turkeys for 25 years and have never once had a dry or chewy turkey, always so moist and flavorful and everyone loves it. Brine your turkey! We do a the largest turkeys we can get 24 lbs and use a 5 gallon bucket. Trust me people, best yurkey you will ever cook.
Hi guys! I have your answer about why your beautiful Thanksgiving turkey is chewy and tastes like leather. Did you process it right after Ron brought it back to the cabin? The bird needs to rest for at least 36 hours to go through the process of rigor mortis. We made the same mistake the first time we raised and butchered our first meat bird. Next time let it rest before cooking. Love your channel. Happy Thanksgiving! I’m thankful for your great content. ❤🦃 Oh and that mashed potato stuffing was wild!! lol
Also to add to that it could have been a bit older it sounds like. The beard being that long and spurs being that big he sounds like a good two years of age. Which is going to naturally be tougher than a younger one. Happy Thanksgiving 🍽️🦃 it gave me a good laugh because I can relate having killed an older rooster and ate it right away. It was soooo tough even hours in the instant pot didn't fix it. Lol now I know better for next time
Yep, also after you do process it assuming you are leaving it as a full carcass, you should rub it down with salt and hang it in cold storage for a day before cooking. Rinse it off really well to get rid of the salt and all of the fluids mixed in the salt and THEN cook it in whichever manner you want. Even an old bird should be relatively tender then.
@@windblownmccoy2908 lol the irony is I put mine in the instant pot for two hours and we still couldn't chew it 😂 I had to cut it across the grain in tiny pieces just to be able to use it. Even then it was soo chewy it was crazy.
Cooking turkey is a mind game like everything else. I promise! I make the turkey and ham every year regardless of who's doing the rest. I did it all for many years. This year I rinsed it well inside and out, dried it with paper towels, and rubbed it with salt inside and out. Then a mixture of melted butter and orange juice inside and out. I didn't even inject it this time. Sprinkled with cinnamon and inside a baking bag. 325 degrees for 15 minutes per lb. I leave the legs untressed. They will seperate from each other completely when it's done. I checked it only one time. My family said it was one of the better ones I'd ever made. Not labor intensive at all. Sometimes I think we ruin things by tending them to death! New subscriber!❤
There are plenty of cooking shows where the food comes out perfect, but disappearing potatoes and raw turkey makes for an especially entertaining show😄 Happy Thanksgiving!
Fun fact... My sister-in-law was told by her mother to remember to remove the giblets from the first chicken she cooked post marriage... She cut off the legs and flung them away... Roasted the bird with the plastic bag of giblets still inside... 😂🐓
Uhm....I'm gonna admit it. I did the same thing back when I was first married and we had the in-laws over. I don't think anyone but myself and ex knew. Yes I did still serve it, minus the small plastic package. lol
Did you age the turkey after processing it? I age the ducks we raise for meat about 72 hours under ice. I copied ( from Backyard Chickens) this for you it explains the reasoning pretty well. This is done to allow the natural enzymes and proteins in the meat to break down the fibrous materials. Without this process, the bird would be very tough! Most meat that you purchase has already had this process done to it or at least started. Beef is aged for 2 weeks for example. You can also age the turkey in a brine mixture (salt + water) to really enhance the moisture and flavor once cooked. Turkey is a lean meat and really benefits from this process. Happy Thanksgiving!
🥧🥳🥧🥳🥧🥳🥧🥳🥧🥳🥧🥳🥧🥳 Happy Thanksgiving, Ron, Justine, & Mish-Mish. We just had to put our fur-daughter Truffles down. She would have been 18 years this January 1st. Our hearts are very heavy. 😢 Then, my husband had to have emergency eye surgery for a detached retina. They just did the surgery today, thank God. My PTSD from a near death experience at a hospital doesn't help when I'm in a hospital setting. Lastly, it's been 2 1/2 years since we've seen our son youngest son who is in the military. 🇺🇸 It has not been a good week. But, I'm really trying to stay positive it's hard. But, our oldest daughter is making Thanksgiving dinner, hopefully my husband will be up to going. He knows his daughter is a very good cook, just like her momma 😊 I wish you ALL happiness and joy! 😊🙏❤️ Love, Military Mom 🇺🇸 ❤️ 🙏
Roast in your oven and don't stuff it. Stuffing takes a couple hours longer. Basting is good. One problem with turkey is it dries out too fast. I used the cooking bags, but that wasn't available two hundred years ago.
First you fried the bird . I cooked turkeys for years and never had a problem . You have to cook it Slow, low , and covered and baste it every 15 to 30 minutes , cover the bird with bacon and take off for the last 30 minutes so the bird will brown . 10:59
Look out, everybody, we've got us a Thanksgiving special! 😃 Can't wait to watch this later! I've got to pick up the food for my Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow in a few hours, so hopefully I'll be back home in time to catch the premiere! I hope everyone has a most wonderful and festive Thanksgiving tomorrow! Cheers, all! 😊
Knew that Turkey was not done really think you cooked it in the wrong thing! Just throw it away! Such a shame to waste that Turkey don’t think you should try and cook it more later think Salmonella has set in!! Happy Thanksgiving to you both🍁🦃🦃
“Please don’t let this bird kill me tonight” 😂🤣😂 I would bet that there are alot of “First Timers” in the Thanksgiving dinner cooks who have prayed that very same prayer!! God Bless and have a very blessed and happy holiday together! 🦃🇺🇸🦃🇺🇸🦃🇺🇸❤🙏
Happy Thanksgiving,! Everyone has a cooking failure at some point. My mom's gravy story - 1950 - was while she and my dad were dating, the first time she met his parents, they had fried chicken with all the trimmings, and during the meal, my mom was cleaning off the last of the meat off her bone and in the process flipped the bone into the gravy bowl. Also she told the story about taking the roasted bird out of the oven one time, and flipped the bird right out of the roaster and onto the floor. She grabbed it quick and plopped it back in the pan and never told the story until years later. I have had a fail or 2 (or more) over the years, but I don't tell those stories.
Uh-oh! You can't gobble the turkey if it's still gobbling itself! 😂 Looking forward to catching you on my work break later! Happy Thanksgiving from Australia!
One commentor was partially correct, as the meat should rest after being plucked and gutted. Maybe not for 3 days but at least 4 to 6 hours in a brine solution. Then boil for an hour or so before roasting with an inch or two of the brining liquid in the bottom of the pot. The brine tenderizes the bird, the boiling cooks the bird throughout, and the brine in the pot seasons and keeps it from burning outside and raw inside. ALSO, 200 years ago the pilgrims were just happy to have something to eat, lol.
Happy Thanksgiving We had a farm fresh turkey 26 lbs. cooking guideline- 20 min per pound. So we put it in at 4am was done at 11am So fun to learn how it’s was all done with our modern appliances Thank you !
Happy Thanksgiving you guys. Turkey isn't hard if, if, you have constant even temperature. Also i would have rotated the bird and not stuffed it. Stuffing it makes a turkey take longer to cook. Next time place it on a pan or rack inside your pot and and water to create steam. That will help get a good temperature to evenly cook your bird. The last hour or so scoop out the water to allow it to brown. I'm so sorry your turkey didnt turn out. Keep trying Justine. You'll get it and once you do it'll be so satisfying.
Happy Thanksgiving Ron, Justine and all! 🦃🍁🍽️ Sorry about the Turkey fail! I love that Justine went from no cauldrons to double cauldrons in like two weeks yay, haha.
My first Christmas in my own place, I invited my folks and my sisters over for supper. I had no idea I needed to thaw the turkey out in advance. I don't remember if we actually ate that night or not.
I think you needed more even heat on the turkey. I did one in a large dutch oven, coals on top and below. Also don’t stuff, it takes longer. 4 hours was reasonable for cooking time.
Hey Ron, Thank you for the reminder about the bag inside the bird. When I was young and first married…I did not know about the bag and I did exactly what you described. 😖 Somebody out there needed to hear this advice. Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃
Happy Thanksgiving, guys! Justine, the look on your face about the turkey is so funny! Don't feel bad, I couldn't cook a turkey even in the modern way! I'm thankful for you both and your wonderful channel! Thank the Lord for His provision!
@@frontierpatriot Your welcome. It’s Janet not Jane, a lot of people get it wrong. My Dad use to call Me Janey, I get Janice, Jeannette, amongst other things😝so no worries.
You are both too cute! I loved your attempt to cook that huge bird. Oh, and congratulations on your ironware finds! The prices you paid blew me away. Contemporary cast iron these days is just so expensive. I've seen tiny cauldrons priced for $30 or more! I also never knew until you shared a bit about cast iron pots that the earlier ones were made more thinly. And, therefore better! I'll keep my eyes peeled when I schlep to the next flea market, etc. p.s. I look so forward to both your channels each week. They bring me such enjoyment. As I said, you two are just such a cute couple! Be well & Happy Post Thanksgiving! p.p.s. So, was it MacDonalds or pizza for dinner after the turkey disaster? 🦃😋🦃
This Thanksgiving…”” find some peace and quietness to enjoy a day of thanksgiving. This isn't about pilgrims, it about your life and the blessings we have all experienced. Even in the face of difficulties. Love to you all and I count you as some of my blessings.❤️❤️❤️ “
Oh my goodness this episode was great. The story about the mean turkey, cooking it for 4 hours only to be still uncooked ….and the BEST part was the McD’s drive through. Love it!!! Happy Thanksgiving y’all. !!❤️🍁🦃
You guys are soooo awesome! Loved the Thanksgiving history! Loved hearing about naughty Henry! One of my relatives bought a live bird that got away from them in their home. 😄 Feathers ended up aaaall over their home! Happy Thanksgiving! Great time for fun memories! 🇺🇲
next time when cooking like that put some chopped up potatoes, turnips, carrots and other root veggies in the pot, then put the turkey in with a lot of butter then cover it, over a medium fire. basting with dipping's and butter for 6 hours, then let fire die down and slowly cook for another 2 hours or so. it should be fully cooked by then.
I thought they used to put the turkey on a rotating spicket in the fireplace and cooked it slow all day long. am I wrong? Happy Blessed Thanksgiving Ron and Justine . I enjoyed the video.
Hi guys! Sorry that the turkey didn't turn out! You two put so much work into it! I love watching Justine cook, then the chew and chat. I loved how you two videoed that you went to McDonalds afterwards! Too funny! Happy belated Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas!
Oh my goodness 😅you guys are hilarious really enjoyed both videos for Thanksgiving 😂 new follower for this channel I'm already following at Early American 😊thanks so much for sharing guys and Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours... smiles
Probably a wild turkey. They are always tougher meat due to being leaner. Frying turkey is a more fail safe way to cook. 7 min per pound at 350 oil temp.
Without a doubt your best to date … hilarious! So Gilbert gets a reprieve and Henry bites the dust and sadly tastes like dust. If Madison had been successful in 1812 us Canadians would be having our Thanksgiving in November instead of when it should be, October. You guys are the best!

That bird was so mean it even ruined your dinner. 😂
Exactly & after he started carving him ihe slummed over.... Like I'm dying this dinner for you even in deathbed messing with people.
😂

I did the same thing with a rooster when I was first starting out with poultry. I probably should have stewed that guy anyhow lol
@@windblownmccoy2908 lol the irony is I put mine in the instant pot for two hours and we still couldn't chew it 😂 I had to cut it across the grain in tiny pieces just to be able to use it. Even then it was soo chewy it was crazy.
You must brine it the night before, even the leftovers never get dry, never fails me🦃

I believe wild turkeys would be much smaller so the cook times would be right.
I think it's because the heat was only on the bottom so it didn't cook evenly.
The cabin looks so cozy and Fall. I love it.

Probably a wild turkey. They are always tougher meat due to being leaner. Frying turkey is a more fail safe way to cook. 7 min per pound at 350 oil temp.

Without a doubt your best to date … hilarious! So Gilbert gets a reprieve and Henry bites the dust and sadly tastes like dust. If Madison had been successful in 1812 us Canadians would be having our Thanksgiving in November instead of when it should be, October. You guys are the best!
