    Just wanted to let you know that my wife and I followed this recipe this year and it was honestly the best turkey we have ever made in 20 years of hosting Thanksgiving! This was the easiest recipe to prep we have found so far, and was made a full day in advance which made the actual Thanksgiving day so much easier! Everyone who ate it raved about it! I'm pretty sure this will be the way we prepare the turkey every year moving forward. Thank you!

    I tried this recipe over the weekend for an early Thanksgiving party and it was a huge hit! The turkey turned out incredibly juicy with perfectly crispy skin. The turkey breast took about 10-15 minutes longer than the thighs to cook, but other than that, everything worked out great.

      Maria Hernandez, I bought my turkey in pieces, so probably only 12-13 pounds of meat total. I cooked it for 30 minutes on high, and probably another 40 minutes on the lower temp. Sorry, I know this is a late reply, but maybe you can use this for next time

      Veronica Hernandez, I didn’t have an electric knife, so it was a little bit harder to cut. I just ended up cutting it in larger slices which wasn’t an issues at all.

    Hey Tasty peeps!
    I thought this idea was awesome so I told my mom I'd do the bird this year. I've never broken down a whole bird before so I watched the vid all week in preparation.
    I got home around 6pm today and went straight to it. I was done around 640ish. Thats including the brine and clean up! Now I'm roasting the carcass and veggies. I didn't even have rewatch the vid once I started.
    Your step by step instructions were so well put together. I just want to thank you guys for putting this up for us!
    Photos of the final product coming soon!

    Did this for an early Friendsgiving and oooh man, I highly recommend it! The process wasn't as daunting and with a really sharp knife, I felt that I did a pretty good job breaking down my turkey. Getting the "oysters" out was definitely the hardest thing for me to do, but, hey, not bad for a first attempt. I would recommend using a coarser salt though. I just used regular iodized salt and it came out a bit too salty for my taste, but I was able to counter that by under seasoning the gravy. My presentation was VERY IMPRESSIVE though. Like once I finished cutting up the pieces, they made for some very nice Instagram pictures. Thank you Tasty!

    • @SuperYooshii
      @SuperYooshii Před 5 lety +15

      I definitely spiced my rub up. I used some old bay, cayenne pepper, and a bit more sugar cuz my family likes it in the sweeter side. But I really think I over salted mine so be weary of the salt. I say try this recipe out! It only took around 30 minutes to break down the bird. I seasoned it, then left it in the fridge for like 14ish hours overnight. I made the stock and gravy the night before so I wouldn't need to worry about it the next day. I roasted some root vegetables before the turkey pieces and then an apple pie right after and in 2ish hours of baking, I had an entire Thanksgiving meal done. It was pretty easy! I just lined all of my baking dishes with foil so that clean up was a breeze. The only pan I did not line was the one I used to brown the carcass so I could get the drippings for the gravy. BTW, best gravy I have ever made

  • @karissheffer6717

    OK. I tried this method with my mom and it was quick, easy, and ridiculously fun! I'm not a raw meat kind of person but we had gloves and knives and scraping down the breast bone was the best thing I've ever done! And SERIOUSLY, when it comes to the way it was cooked... The smaller pieces like the wings and drumsticks took about 45 minutes (less cause we took them out at 200 degrees Fahrenheit). The larger pieces took about an hour twenty. either way, we were unprepared for them to take such a short amount of time so we covered them well in tin foil and put them on a cutting board to keep them hot. When my family was eating it, and we do have some picky eaters, EVERYONE was exclaiming on how delicious it was. The dry brine we chose (from a different recipe) made the chicken flavorful and the process of leaving it uncovered, in a fridge, overnight really did give a nice crust! My sister told me THAT was the best turkey she had ever tasted and my mom, who didn't believe in Tasty, will probably continue to do this method fro the rest of her life. Thanks Tasty!

Everyone loved the turkey. It wasn't dry and it was full of flavor, as was the gravy. Deboning the turkey was a lot of work but it was so worth it because baking the turkey in an hour and ten minutes was a life saver especially when I had other dishes to make. The stock and gravy that I made the previous day was also a time saver and it tasted delicious

If you've taken apart a chicken, you're more or less experienced in turkey butchering. The rest of the process was as simple as a quick roast and a long simmer - most of the stock-making process was me watching CZcams videos and waiting :P I made my turkey last night exactly as above and it turned out SUPER well. I was shocked by how flavorful the breast meat was, and the gravy was rich and delicious.

I will have to attempt it after Thanksgiving as the family doesn't do well with "New Fangled Ideas". I definitely agree with not washing meats, the splattering of the water does spread bacteria even more. If your cook your bird properly, then the bacteria will be destroyed by the heat. Thank you for the tips, I'm gonna give this a try!! Also, I like to chop up my carcass into smaller bits. I think that allows even more flavor to carry over into the broth!!

      This is me this year, last year my mom's Turkey was really bland and every one mostly ate my mom's mashpatatoes so a lot of left over turkey which was sad. It's also an excuse my mom have so that she doesn't have to do it and she loves turkey and when she saw the video she said I can do it because it looks delicious.

    This is the best recipe for turkey and I’ve made this many times for thanksgiving and Christmas, this technique just simplified everything for the day of your dinner. I’m not a good cook so cooking a huge dinner is very intimidating for me and this technique removes all of my stress immensely, thank you for sharing! The turkey comes out so flavourful and juicy not dry at all, it’s delicious 👍👍 the only way I will prepare turkey forever.

      It’s a decent price for a free range, organic non gmo fed bird. I usually pay around 65-70$ for my 18 lb organic specialty turkey I don’t buy grocery store turkeys they’re pumped full of water and they’re fed gmo feed and given antibiotics and it’s just NOT GOOD EATS, splurge on a really nice turkey that’s at least organic you will taste the difference once your eating!! ALSO REMEMBER TO LET YOUR BIRD REST IF YOU DONT KNOW HOW LONG, use this rule of thumb, 1 minute per lb of turkey to rest. 12lb=12 minute rest 15lb-15 min rest, and so on and so forth.

It was even called “money” by one of our friends. And we had it for days after (we did 2 turkeys just so we would have some leftovers). Even after reheating, it was STILL tender and juicy. The flavor was unreal. Tasty, you get full credit for our amazing Thanksgiving meal!

    I saw this last year and decided to do this this year and it was a big hit! The video was extremely accurate and it was great to have another helper to pull the carcass away to help me cut etc. The turkey cooked in 1 hr 10 mins as.opposed to three hours! The brine worked fine but consider she used this Amt of salt for a 15 lb bird so cut back accordingly if yours is smaller. I used the 15 lb amt on a 13.5 lb bird and it worked out well. This recipe allows the turkey to be carved beautifully without any waste and stock made in advance. A total winner in my book! Thank you Tasty!!!!
