Re: Turkey recipes?
I didn't have the time required for a dry cure, Moses. Well, I did, but didn't ask about/research that option until after it was too late. I saw a new Alton Brown recipe in which he incorporates a...

Re: Turkey recipes?
I was just referring to the gravy. If I had brined it much longer, I'm thinking the drippings would've been too salty for gravy.

Re: Turkey recipes?
I have another bird thawing in the fridge as we speak. I've single-handedly eaten ALL the leftover turkey and dressing.
There is a little bit of potatoes and a tiny bit of gravy left (I slather...

Re: Turkey recipes?
Moses, that's exactly why I'm so convinced to do it that way. I don't care about the presentation, because I never carve the bird at the table.
I'm simmering a vegetable stock right now....

Re: Turkey recipes?
Good point, Scott.
Right now it's coming down to traditional method or spatchcocking. I'm really intrigued by butterflying the bird and removing the leg quarters.

Re: Turkey recipes?
Great ideas, Eric. I like the idea of making the dressing the night before. I'll just have to baste the turkey with pan broth on Thursday. I've ALWAYS basted with the giblet stock. My late grandma...

Re: Turkey recipes?
I have some picky eaters around the table, peter. It's an excellent suggestion. I've tried the water chestnut addition before. I loved it. They did not.

Re: Turkey recipes?
For some odd reason, I've never added mushrooms to the dressing. That will definitely change this year. I just have to chop them up small so they can't see them.

Re: Turkey recipes?
I should add: the inlaws are not fans of smoked/BBQ anything. So no smoked turkey. And no fryer. Only cooking method will be my electric oven.
