This is my first Thanksgiving as a father of 1 and provider for three of my siblings and my girlfriend's son and being forgetful somehow I forgot to get a turkey so I'm freaking out because I have a 22 pound turkey and it's frozen solid thanks so much for giving me the confidence to try this :)
Horray for homeschool families! Thanks for this tip, Amy. Making our first Thanksgiving dinner this year, and the bird is frozen solid. Hoping it all goes well. Have a blessed Thanksgiving!
Hi Amy. My mother use to make homemade yogurt when we were kids. She would also make a spread out of the yogurt. She would put the yogurt in the fridge for a couple of days. She would than pour the yogurt into a bag made out of cotton or you can use an unused pillow case made out of cotton. She would put the bag in a strainer overnight. The next morning she would take out the yogurt which at this time is more like a spread and put it in a container. You can use this spread on crackers, pita bread, etc. We would also drizzle some olive oil on the creamed yogurt. It is absolutely delicious. We call it labaneh in arabic, I lover your videos and I wish you and your family the best of everything.
I always cook my turkey, roast beef, pork loin, and whole chicken from frozen. So much easier and it comes out so tender! Happy Thanksgiving from your neighbours up North. We had our in October.
hi Amy I have never covered a turkey or a chicken. Raised 5 kids now 69 so done a fair amount of cooking . Watch any chief they don't either. it will be tender and very moist. It is beat to let it rest before cutting. Every year I wrap my turkey in foil and lay a large towel over it stays hot for 4 hours. I also use a meat temp to not over cook the other key to drying it out is over cooking. Love your shows thanks for sharing.
One of the best benefits to having an Insta Pot is being able to cook any meat from a solid frozen state. Of course you lose the extra browning taste, but Better Than Boullion added gives some extra roasting flavor.
Woman of Valor, please help me train my daughter who still lives at home and was home schooled as a child to be as efficient in the kitchen as your beautiful daughter is. Funny thing is I trained her in everything else but home making. I could not let go of the reigns back then. I learned to as the years past. Funny thing is I learned teaching them at home so much.
Hi Amy!! It's me again LOL. My Grandmother's recipe for left-over mashed potatoes. Thought you might like this one. Omit your sour cream (optional on the side when serving). Mashed potatoes, 1 egg, S&P, 2 tsps oil & flour until it's stiff enough for patties. Use 2 Tbsps (or 1 ice cream scoop) per patty, place them into a skillet about 1 inch apart, smash them down a little & fry them until golden brown & crispy around the edges. They can be served with almost anything OR by themselves. You could dip them in the sour cream, ketchup or any sauce you want that you usually dip french fries in. Hope u like. :)
i prefer clean chiken or turkey fish befor i put them in the freezer with lamen water salt.someone use veneger.than i'm sure its clean when i cook them
I cooked my turkey in a huge Rival Roaster, and by the time it was done, the meat was falling off of the bone. It was delicious! I also put water and Knorr Bullion cubes at the bottom of the roaster, and will baste the turkey with one stick of butter three times to give it that salty, buttery flavor. YUM! I'm getting hungry again just thinking about it. LOL ;D Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! :D
Might have missed it. But if it has a bag, do I pull it out midway cooking? Once it's "thawed" or can I leave it in....I accidentally left the bag in and when it was done it was melted to the inside of the turkey. I was very pregnant and very sad 😅🤣🤦♀️ It was thawed though and cooked at 350. I forget the size though... I just don't want to have it happen again lol
Hello , your chocolate chip pumpkin muffins have became a favorite in our home ! I have started baking them in brownie form , that is easier for me. Plus they are delicious! I am interested in the pans you had the potatoes in ? Also , I think the chicken? I apologize if you have a link to them I missed seeing.
My first turkey I cooked it with the giblets, moist turkey. I always shove them back in now. I also started flipping it breast down 10 years ago. Not as pretty it falls apart like that chicken. White meat is as moist as the dark with minimal basting. My kids never liked turkey because it was too dry, until I flipped it.
I always separate the skin from the meat on the breats and legs and make an herbed butter to stuff under the skin and rub all over the outside. I also use a roasting bag and it's always so juicy and tender and it's so golden brown. This year I'm going to try it in the crock pot since I'm only doing a breast and I'm hoping it will turn out nice. I'm like you, it doesn't matter what it looks like as long as it tastes great!
Hi Amy. I saw your engraving machine in one of the videos. Is your husband making a living by selling engraved woods? I am asking because my husband bought one CNC machine for me and I have no idea where to market finished goods like keychain, laser image on plates, keyholder, etc. I am really looking forward your reply. Thanks for sharing your way of life. It is fun watching your cooking.
One trick I have learned from Chef Ramsay cooking lessons, let the turkey sit around half the time you cooked it before cut it. It changes everything and taste wonderful.
im here for the turkey before i make a mess of xmas dinner. i thought i had to pre stuffed butterballs but turns out i was going to buy them but bought normal ones. didnt realize till i went to put them in at 5am. hoping this turns out .. been 2 1/2 hours each turkey and have only been able to get 1 giblet bag out. necks arent willing yet. amazing teeth by the way ..
Funny thing is, Thanksgiving and Christmas, and Easter, 4th of July....these are days we celebrate every year so its no surprise . If I'll be cooking one of the big meals, I plan way in advance. I will buy the non perishable items a month in advance, and plan everything right up to the minute of the meal. It's a habit one should get into . Happy Thanksgiving everyone
What if the turkey thaws half way .. can I still just cook it like that? And what temp you think is best? I don’t think my turkey will be thawed in time. Love your videos!
Please be careful,, my mum had Campylobactor food poisoning by a hotel who did this . She was very ill- lost over 4 stone and we nearly lost her. I would be very careful how you cook poultry, letting it defrost first. Sorry after seeing what she went through, I wouldn't risk it x
Omgosh...my husband used to take my baster too...I don't know how many I bought over the years because they would disappear. The last one I got was sage green and so pretty...sure enough, it disappeared and he acted like he had no clue what happened to it...He sadly passed away at a young age and as I was cleaning out the out buildings later on, I found it! But of course, I forgave him for the fib and actually got a laugh out of it.
Was blessed with a turkey but i had no fridge room so since it was done defrosted i took a tote put in some water a lil bit and then my turkey and a bag of ice and sat it in my car cause its cold outside lol whatever works right? Ill cook it up and then freeze all the meats in different meals for the family to grab and enjoy.
rachel copas I find it funny it has been sunny and mid 30's and feels so good been outside working in the yard. Only a true Northerner could be warm in the 30's. My family is from Wakarusa, Elkart and Southbend. That's where my siblings were raised. I also have a nephew in Indepence. I've been in Michigan my whole life with weekend trips to Indiana.
I've cooked mine frozen many times, I think it turns out better that way! There's never enough space in our fridge so it's the easiest way to go about it!
We don't really eat yogurt in our house but maybe if I cut some berries or other fruit and mix it in that can change. Can you make a vid showing how to mix it in to save it in jars? Is it possible?
Kaylee Shares she makes plain yogurt and then mixes fruit in it when making smoothies. I was intimidated to make homemade yogurt, but after watching her video and how easy she made it look, I tried. Worked perfectly!
It is an old practice that has been proven not necessary and is actually dangerous. Properly cooking the poultry kills any harmful bacteria; whereas washing it spreads the germs throughout your kitchen.
It is true that the recommendations now are not to wash your meat. I'm sure that idea sounds strange to people who have always washed but I always hated washing since it seemed like germs/bacteria were getting everywhere. And bacteria is being killed in the cooking process.
Do you have a heated floor? I've seen you walking without socks/shoes a couple of times...or are you of the rare species of people that are "never cold"? 🤔😄
There was a lot of wasted space on this. I'm not trying to be mean. I'm trying to find a recipe for frozen turkey. And speaking of wasted time, it appears to me you don't have an instant pot! All those kids and all that cooking without an instant pot?! That's a crime! I have two ten quart and one eight quart. A ten quart would be perfect for you. How do I know you don't have an instant pot? You are making yogurt, but using bullion cubes for your chicken. Bullion cubes! The instant pot would be your best friend when it comes to making a chicken bone broth in your instant pot. Bone broth normally takes over 24 hours to make. You can make it in a few hours in your instant pot! What to do with bone broth? Besides just drinking it, you can make gravy with it. You can baste your turkey with it (if you don't cook it in the instant pot). And guess what? IT HAS A YOGURT SETTING!!! You need an instant pot!! And THEN you need to make videos using it. Now off I go to find a chicken recipe so I don't have to run my oven all day...have fun (with your instant pot). I got mine on Amazon. Do not get a 6 quart. They seem to have issues. Plus, I've never regretted getting an 8 quart for just hubby and me (kids are grown). But you could use a 10 quart. PS. I am not making money off this ad...I mean...post. I just love my 7-in-1 instant pot!
OMG, That "Yougert" looks so Nasty!! Sorry/Not Sorry!! Just my opinion!! Would Never Eat Store bought Yougert, Nevermind Home made "something like Yougert"!!!! Never!! Do u I guess!!
@@stacyr4549 I'm talking about cleaning out the inside of it. And checking for any pinfeathers left behind. Not sure why food experts would recommend against it. Everyone can certainly do what they want, but I'm cleaning the gunk out.
It's not recommended because the bacteria on the chicken can get on your surfaces and sink. If you miss a spot cleaning up after it could make you ill. I've never cleaned chicken before and I don't have any gunk issues.
Not a mother, don’t care for cooking, not married but I love watching your channel!
Lol. Maybe it will change :)
Faith same
You are amazing!
Awesome!

Lol. It will be great! I am roasting mine currently and it was frozen solid:)
Horray for homeschool families! Thanks for this tip, Amy. Making our first Thanksgiving dinner this year, and the bird is frozen solid. Hoping it all goes well. Have a blessed Thanksgiving!
It will still cook
Thank you, I really appreciate the time you take to show us these things.
I appreciate that you are here
Thank you for this! I got up this morning and my turkey was still frozen solid. I was panicking. So glad I saw this. ❤️❤️
Glad u did too
It’s so peaceful watching these videos.
💜
I'm so glad that you shared this. I've had way too many times where my chicken or turkey didn't thaw on time. 👍🏼

God bless you. You are such a thoughtful and caring person. I pray you and your family have an awesome Thanksgiving :)
He does! We will and to you as well

@@amymaryon Thank you Amy. I will browse etsy.
Oh my gosh! My husband does the same thing with our turkey basters!! I told him he was not allowed to use anything in my kitchen in the garage! HAHA.

Please note that in the UK you must never cook any foul when frozen it is dangerous.

Yes either way..you can cook at 350 just check it after a couple hours.. If it is browning and not done turn it back 325. Thanks for watching
How many minutes per pound? Did I miss that part? Thanks.
Happy Thanksgiving guys 🦃...........Sharon

Please be careful,, my mum had Campylobactor food poisoning by a hotel who did this . She was very ill- lost over 4 stone and we nearly lost her. I would be very careful how you cook poultry, letting it defrost first. Sorry after seeing what she went through, I wouldn't risk it x

I’m confused, if the poultry is thoroughly cooked, wouldn’t that kill any bacteria?
Omgosh...my husband used to take my baster too...I don't know how many I bought over the years because they would disappear.

Exactly!!! Thanks for sharing the ideA!
I keep a cooler on my back porch in the winter. Seems like the fridge overflows this time of the year. The benefit of living in Michigan.
Yes!! Loved doing that before
Kristina your close to me im indiana these temps are freezing. I didnt even hear ice rattling today when i drove

@@amymaryon Thank you
Cool tip about freezing left over frozen potatoes. Did they stay in the oven for the 4 hours? Thank you.
About 2 just because I forgot:)
@@amymaryon thank you.
Thanks for this video.
Thanks for watching
I've cooked mine frozen many times, I think it turns out better that way! There's never enough space in our fridge so it's the easiest way to go about it!
Yay...someome else like me :)
You are amazing!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌷

Love your videos ma'am. Do you have a recipe on cucumber salad? Love from Nigeria!
We shred real thin and then cover with salt to let the moisture come out and then mix in sour cream :)
Wow amazing!
We don't really eat yogurt in our house but maybe if I cut some berries or other fruit and mix it in that can change. Can you make a vid showing how to mix it in to save it in jars? Is it possible?
We keep it separate. Then it doesn't go bad. When u mix it, it separates
@@amymaryon Is it always fresh fruit or do you jar that too? Sorry for so many questions. I'm trying to learn.
No worries. We use frozen strawberries and froze bananas and pureed them :). I have a yogurt video that might help
@@amymaryon Looking for it now.
Awesome potato trick.. ty
Thanks for watching
You too!
How long does that much yogurt usually last for your family?
One month to 6 weeks
What flavor of yogurt was that? I need to watch how you make those yogurts
Kaylee Shares she makes plain yogurt and then mixes fruit in it when making smoothies. I was intimidated to make homemade yogurt, but after watching her video and how easy she made it look, I tried. Worked perfectly!
:)
If it has plastic in it your leaching those chemicals into the meat when you heat it 🤢🤢🤮🤮
oh yea I thaw my turkey over night in water perfect result.
love your Channel I just have one question and no disrespect at all because I love your family but I notice you don't wash none of your meat off
Wendy Cohen 😂😂😂
That's a great tip, i thought that the potatoes can't be frozen!
:)
Bravo super👍
Great advice thank you so much for sharing
Thanks for watching

Oh No, what about cleaning it in and out first?????
It makes no sense to clean it and contaminate your kitchen... just cook it thoroughly.
Quite interesting indeed....
It is an old practice that has been proven not necessary and is actually dangerous. Properly cooking the poultry kills any harmful bacteria; whereas washing it spreads the germs throughout your kitchen.
Never have :)
It is true that the recommendations now are not to wash your meat. I'm sure that idea sounds strange to people who have always washed but I always hated washing since it seemed like germs/bacteria were getting everywhere. And bacteria is being killed in the cooking process.
Im amazed that she can feed 12 people with 1 small chicken.
We had a whole container of leftovers?!?!?

Are you talking about rinsing it? Food safety experts recommend against doing it.
That is interesting I've never done that and have only heard since posting videos on here..
