Joshua, THANK you for this. My husband and I were fully planning on KFC today, but I saw your video. You inspired us both. We did everything in your video (but used a whole chicken instead of turkey). Cranberry sauce - I will NEVER go back to canned. EVER. Your stuffing, we made with home-made sour dough (also inspired by you)... it made me cry. No lie. The flavors... Made... Me... Cry. Thank you for the inspiration, making things attainable, and the flavors were absolutely perfect for Thanksgiving. $35 bucks, worth a million dollars. Today I'm thankful for your channel. No KFC for us today, papa.
"you can get your turkey cheap if you get it early, there's no excuse" our excuse is that Josh posted this only a few days before Thanksgiving, it's no longer early
(also to be fair, not everyone has a big enough freezer to put a whole turkey in :P Especially in larger cities where square footage is expensive as all fucks haha)
I am classically trained in pastry, make cakes for a living, and will spend 2 days making dressing completely from scratch and then put canned cranberry sauce on it. I will not apologize for that.
I've been a professional cook (I'm no chef) on and off again for over 30 years, and every year I go on a merry trek to try and find the elusive canned cranberry sauce that will come out of the can Shaped like the can. to me that is how cranberry sauce is supposed to look... I GUESS I could use Joshies version and just add gelatin to it and let it set up in the can
It's the meats. Prime rib (6-8 bones), leg of lamb, steaks, and a duck...just to name a few. Not to mention alcohol, desserts, and sides. It can be done.
I wonder if you’ve ever cooked an entire thanksgiving meal. If you have, you know you can easily spend a lot of money. I don’t like cheap food. I want high quality ingredients for a great tasting meal. Otherwise I’d just order everything from somewhere like Boston market. That’s not the point of a family cooked meal. You can splurge for this family meal. And I don’t feel bad about it.🤷🏽♀️
@Buferin El mejor ok, lets dive into it. he said "well over 500$, potentially even over a 1000$" and "10,15, maybe even 20 people". So if we take the smallest cost, and the largest crowd, that is still 25$ for a single plate and dessert. I don't know about you, but those are restaurant prices for me, and that is at the lowest possible cost for the most people he can host. Since we are all watching a video where he makes 10-15 servings for 35$, i think even Josh would agree that he spends too much on it.
Josh: “There’s no way it’s fifty dollars to make thanksgiving dinner for ten people” Me: Lol true Josh: “it’ll be well over the five hundred dollar, thousand dollar mark” Me: *excuse me*

@@brokenhert123 San Francisco has entered the chat. :D, everything costs at least 100% more in this city. For example: Josh estimated 1$ for 3/4 cup of butter. In my city, that would be at least 3$
Binging your videos over the past month or so has reaaaally elevated my confidence in the kitchen. Also, your recipes are fucking delicious. The whole But Better series has been a game changer for me. Reducing my cravings for fast food, saving me coinage and trimming my dad bod along the way. I'm noticing a real difference in my weight, confidence cooking, and having a lot of fun to boot. I cant thank you enough, good sir! Happy Thanksgiving!! Sincerely, Chonky Boi Cody G.
As an Irish woman, (living in Ireland my whole life btw) I have always been fascinated (and a little scared) of the general American type of 'stuffing'. I have never tried it for family, but I did make a version for myself once and, it was very tasty but I couldn't wrap my head around it being 'stuffing'. All I know is, if I served it at Christmas as stuffing and didn't have our traditional sausage meat stuffing on stand by, I would be divorced and disowned by kids by the end of St. Stephen's day 🤷♀️
Another option for the gravy: Use the drippings from the turkey and giblets with some flour, milk/water to thin out as needed, stirring to desired thickness. But whatever you do. . . Make it your damn self!
Thank you for this video! I followed many of your tips and tricks for our (Canadian) Thanksgiving recently. My husband's grandfather even said your cranberry sauce recipe resulted in the best cranberry sauce he had ever had!!!
I’ve always made my own cranberry sauce. The stuff in cans is revolting. Canadian here too. Groceries more expensive here, but still, his tips are good. (Maggi Seasoning contains msg if you can’t find the kind he uses.)
Hey I just wanted to personally thank you for making that Thanksgiving video. This year we did a small 3 person feast and I feel like I got to spoil my family. ❤️
I made this amazing dinner yesterday with one exception. I wasn’t able to get my hands on msg and my oven was gonna be preoccupied, so I deep fried my bird with the Bon Appétit spice blend. That cranberry sauce was so simple, yet so elite. Most of my family have never tried butternut squash and we were all pleasantly surprised with how tasty it was! Amazing thanksgiving dinner Joshua Weissman. 10/10 hands down.
Spatchcocked the bird this year. AND was the only lady in the Kroger hunting MSG. It was worth being judged by the health food crowd. First juicy turkey I’ve ever had and it only took 2 hours to cook a 21lb bird. Many thanks, my friend.
Around here, if u spend $30 in a grocery store, you get 412 off a turkey. The eligible turkeys are rather small, so u get a 13-14 lb bird for about $1.50. I helped my friend deliver food boxes to some of her church members, and wound up getting a few cans of pumpkin, a can of mushroom soup, I think 6 cans of evaporated milk, plenty cranberry dressing and even a box of bread cubes for stuffing! Can hardly believe this is stuff others didn't want!
Can you make a video about all the stuff you make and how and what you buy that runs you up $500-$1000 for thanksgiving. I’d love to know what ingredients and what types of food you buy and prepare for this day. The cheapest version is great 👍🏽 but I’d really love to know what you purchase and create for thanksgiving. Thank you 🙏🏽 I love your channel 🖤 it’s complete fire 🔥

I did all the cooking for Thanksgiving this year. It wasn't from this video, was allot of work, but it was fun and I get great satisfaction when everyone I cook for loves the food 😊 I made potato au gratin (was tired of mashed, wasn't as hard as I thought), Turkey, scalloped cream corn with crumble topping, a veggie dish with green beans, broccoli, and carrots, cranberry sauce, gravy from the Turkey drippings, and a pecan topped pumpkin pie for dessert.
Hey josh I wanna say thank you soo very much for showing us a way to have a cheaper thanksgiving. Families out there who can not afford a big thanksgiving due to financial issues and/or the pandemic.
When I do the gravy what I usually do is make it out of the roasting pan juices, bring that to a high boil, stirring constantly and pepper no salt because the liquid already has the salt the a slurry out of water and corn starch, whisk that constantly until it is thickened. adding more corn starch along the way, then after about 20 mins or so the gravy is finished. Learned it from my uncle RIP.
I like how you make everything from scratch. I like your humor throughout the video. I also like how you used both measurements for your watchers and F/C heat. Thanks for sharing!!! You just need a nice punch to go with it!!!
I will never forget how one year my Grandmother charged all of us $100 for Thanksgiving/Christmas, she had about $700 and the food was disgusting never again grandma
"You know what else is full of misleading stories about Pilgrims? B-roll." OOOOOOOOOH. Josh, you are a national treasure and not just for your cooking.
@@mundanethings208 a lot of stores here sell the turkey at a loss, some even give it to you for free, just to get you into their store to buy all the other stuff.
Just did our first proper Thanksgiving dinner ever, using your tutorial! Make a few adjustments but GOD DAYUM they taste good! Thanks for this! I mean a LOT!
as a swiss, i'd like to give my regular depressing update on the beloved "but cheaper" series: today i checked the turkey prices at the regular supermarket (no fancy butcher, farmers market or even organic premium brand) and the bird alone is is more than 45 USD. I think the butter alone of this recipe would exceed 10 bucks. i mean we do earn more in average than you guys, but not anywhere near that almost 10x factor that you can save on foods. its crazy.
I live in the US and I'm not even sure where he's getting a turkey for $7. I bought one of those little 3 pound frozen turkey cutlets (not sure what it's called?) a couple weeks ago and it still cost me $20.
My dad was a chef for 25 years, and he never made cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving. The first time I had it in college when I couldn’t go home for the holidays, I nearly gagged. 😂
$500+ on a thanksgiving meal? I’m not sure I know anyone that spends over thousand dollars for Thanksgiving. Wow I want to eat thanksgiving with Josh’s family.
No one spends that unless they are feeding like 20 or more people. That’s just not normal. My aunt cooks for about 15 or so people a year and she never spends over $300-400
Msg is just extra easy savory flavor or umami. The same 'flavor' we get from roasting or braising things. The short explanation is that japanese guy decided he wanted more flavor in stuff and got it naturally from seaweed, now we put it in everything commercially to make stuff taste better than they're supposed to. The msg butter is just an insane flavor booster and I'm honestly surprised he didn't use a little in the gravy honestly.

Thanks to you, we had an amazing thanksgiving! Thank you! Whenever food gets a little boring at home we mix things up with a recipe from you! I would’ve never been able to cook this turkey without it coming out dry in my own but everyone loved it! 10/10 would recommend.
I want to know how the hell he's spending 500-1000 dollars on Thanksgiving
Cause papa is a F A N C Y B O Y
(and also like, a professional chef who makes everything from scratch and stuff.)
Raising a turkey from an egg is expensive lol
Well, he makes good money sohe buys an artisanal bird ($100) and the best of the best everything, with tons of sides and stuff, drinks...
Its doable I guess.
Food for 20 people isn’t cheap haha
My jaw dropped when he said that. I mean, I don't even spend $500 on Christmas...presents and food and all!

I used this video to make my late Thanksgiving dinner today and it was incredible. That butter on the turkey was simple, but so flavorful.
Binging your videos over the past month or so has reaaaally elevated my confidence in the kitchen. Also, your recipes are fucking delicious.
The whole But Better series has been a game changer for me. Reducing my cravings for fast food, saving me coinage and trimming my dad bod along the way. I'm noticing a real difference in my weight, confidence cooking, and having a lot of fun to boot. I cant thank you enough, good sir!
Happy Thanksgiving!!

Joshua: use MSG
Uncle Roger like
He needs to react watching this
As an Irish woman, (living in Ireland my whole life btw) I have always been fascinated (and a little scared) of the general American type of 'stuffing'.
I have never tried it for family, but I did make a version for myself once and, it was very tasty but I couldn't wrap my head around it being 'stuffing'.
All I know is, if I served it at Christmas as stuffing and didn't have our traditional sausage meat stuffing on stand by, I would be divorced and disowned by kids by the end of St. Stephen's day 🤷♀️
If it's not in the bird it's called dressing. So you'll be safe.
Joshua: adds msg
Uncle Roger: 👀👀👀
Fuiyoh!
Another option for the gravy: Use the drippings from the turkey and giblets with some flour, milk/water to thin out as needed, stirring to desired thickness.
But whatever you do. . .
Make it your damn self!
Also will save you like $5 of butter.
Thinking the same thing! Plus, weirdly enough, my family adds a cut up hard boiled egg to the gravy
I was like, where's the giblets??
corn starch is another great option if you’re gluten free/run out of flour :)
My mother always made gravy from the drippings I thought that's how you make it 🤷♀️
Thank you for this video! I followed many of your tips and tricks for our (Canadian) Thanksgiving recently. My husband's grandfather even said your cranberry sauce recipe resulted in the best cranberry sauce he had ever had!!!
I’ve always made my own cranberry sauce. The stuff in cans is revolting. Canadian here too. Groceries more expensive here, but still, his tips are good. (Maggi Seasoning contains msg if you can’t find the kind he uses.)
If you're spending between 500 and $1,000 on a Thanksgiving meal for your family, then you have a hell of a lot more to be thankful for than I do!

Hey I just wanted to personally thank you for making that Thanksgiving video. This year we did a small 3 person feast and I feel like I got to spoil my family. ❤️
It’s probably a lot to do with nostalgia, but I happen to love my cranberry sausage that slithers out of the can lol

I made this amazing dinner yesterday with one exception. I wasn’t able to get my hands on msg and my oven was gonna be preoccupied, so I deep fried my bird with the Bon Appétit spice blend. That cranberry sauce was so simple, yet so elite. Most of my family have never tried butternut squash and we were all pleasantly surprised with how tasty it was! Amazing thanksgiving dinner Joshua Weissman. 10/10 hands down.
In Trinidad we don't celebrate Thanksgiving but I want to try this now.
It’s very good 10/10 would recommend. I’m from the US and it’s a fun time lemme tell you
We still cook turkey at Christmas tho, you can do it then
@A. Meowzki there’s small variations (like maybe Texas uses cornbread to make stuffing, etc) but overall it’s pretty uniform throughout the entire US.
I mean in Trinidad, thanksgivings are a different thing. Like a Christian prayer service kinda thing
In Trinidad NM? Why?? I live in NM and we celebrate Thanksgiving lol

Spatchcocked the bird this year. AND was the only lady in the Kroger hunting MSG. It was worth being judged by the health food crowd. First juicy turkey I’ve ever had and it only took 2 hours to cook a 21lb bird. Many thanks, my friend.
For the ones under a dollar, you typically mark them like "0.10 cents"--that would be one tenth of a cent, not ten cents as I think you mean.
YES! That was bothering me too! Eggs don't cost 0.36 cents, they cost 36 cents, or $0.36
Around here, if u spend $30 in a grocery store, you get 412 off a turkey. The eligible turkeys are rather small, so u get a 13-14 lb bird for about $1.50. I helped my friend deliver food boxes to some of her church members, and wound up getting a few cans of pumpkin, a can of mushroom soup, I think 6 cans of evaporated milk, plenty cranberry dressing and even a box of bread cubes for stuffing! Can hardly believe this is stuff others didn't want!
Can you make a video about all the stuff you make and how and what you buy that runs you up $500-$1000 for thanksgiving. I’d love to know what ingredients and what types of food you buy and prepare for this day. The cheapest version is great 👍🏽 but I’d really love to know what you purchase and create for thanksgiving. Thank you 🙏🏽 I love your channel 🖤 it’s complete fire 🔥
I'm super curious how someone could spend that much on Thanksgiving too lol

I made potato au gratin (was tired of mashed, wasn't as hard as I thought), Turkey, scalloped cream corn with crumble topping, a veggie dish with green beans, broccoli, and carrots, cranberry sauce, gravy from the Turkey drippings, and a pecan topped pumpkin pie for dessert.

Hey josh I wanna say thank you soo very much for showing us a way to have a cheaper thanksgiving. Families out there who can not afford a big thanksgiving due to financial issues and/or the pandemic.
Cranberry sauce is awesome that way I know you’re on a budget but a cinnamon stick in while it simmers with the oj and zest it is phenominal
I use ground cinnamon or gingerbread seasoning in mine.
I had no idea that gravy was a bechamel with stock instead of milk
Yeah probably depends on the gravy but I think that's a pretty common way to make it
It’s actually considered velouté. Bechamel is a roux and cream/dairy and velouté is a roux with a white stock (poultry,veggie, or fish)
@@rhe1672 thank you for your insight 👌🏼✨
When I do the gravy what I usually do is make it out of the roasting pan juices, bring that to a high boil, stirring constantly and pepper no salt because the liquid already has the salt the a slurry out of water and corn starch, whisk that constantly until it is thickened. adding more corn starch along the way, then after about 20 mins or so the gravy is finished. Learned it from my uncle RIP.
@@NawaazBabamia you’re welcome :)

This guy's cooking is good but his hair is just wonderful! The color, the soft curls, I like all of it.
as a swiss, i'd like to give my regular depressing update on the beloved "but cheaper" series: today i checked the turkey prices at the regular supermarket (no fancy butcher, farmers market or even organic premium brand) and the bird alone is is more than 45 USD. I think the butter alone of this recipe would exceed 10 bucks. i mean we do earn more in average than you guys, but not anywhere near that almost 10x factor that you can save on foods. its crazy.
Start farming? LOL
@ haha 😂😂
I live in the US and I'm not even sure where he's getting a turkey for $7. I bought one of those little 3 pound frozen turkey cutlets (not sure what it's called?) a couple weeks ago and it still cost me $20.

$500+ on a thanksgiving meal? I’m not sure I know anyone that spends over thousand dollars for Thanksgiving. Wow I want to eat thanksgiving with Josh’s family.
Lol $1000 easily..
No one spends that unless they are feeding like 20 or more people. That’s just not normal. My aunt cooks for about 15 or so people a year and she never spends over $300-400
Where is he getting this butter for so cheap? 1/2 a pound of butter costs like $4 if you get the good stuff.
Trader Joe's organic is pretty cheap, $3.99 per pound and the non-organic at my ralphs is $2.99 per pound. I live near Los Angeles, CA for reference.
Live in Los Angeles, and I buy a pound of butter between $2.49-$3.49 at superior market. Margarine starts at $1.59.

Why the MSG? Everything looks like it tastes amazing. Even this Grandma has learned some new tips.
Msg is just extra easy savory flavor or umami. The same 'flavor' we get from roasting or braising things. The short explanation is that japanese guy decided he wanted more flavor in stuff and got it naturally from seaweed, now we put it in everything commercially to make stuff taste better than they're supposed to. The msg butter is just an insane flavor booster and I'm honestly surprised he didn't use a little in the gravy honestly.
