Turkey Talk.

[halfmanhalfbronco]

One of my favorite threads of the year.

How are you doing your turkeys?  What else are you doing?  What are we all thankful for this year?

 

I'm doing a 48 hour wet brine then spatchcocking with high temps for 45 minutes at 450.  Making a pan gravy out of the spine for the taters.  Stuffed mushrooms, French cut greenbeans in chicken broth with bacon, and blackberry cobbler.

Thankful for the peace and stability we enjoy here in America compared to so much of the world.  Friends, family, access to the great Western Outdoors and Ashton Jeanty.

My wife and I are going to my sister's house in Yucca Valley, CA because she likes to cook. I don't know the details but she's very good at it. After that my Brother in Law and I are going to catch a couple of games (USC vs St. Mary's and UNM vs Arizona State) at the Acrisure Series College Basketball Tournament down the road from where I live in Palm Desert. 🏀

My buddy is doing 4 smoked Turkeys all seasoned differently, I'm bringing some sides and beverages so I'm looking forward to it.

Family is coming to our house (MIL’s house in Sanibel still isn’t finished after Ian), will be doing the same. Prime rib, stone crab and tons of sides.

Cajun garlic butter injection, garlic cloves under the skin, and deep fry in peanut oil is the way I do it. Have fine tuned and perfected over the past decade. Super flavorful and perfectly moist.

My mom is brining and roasting this year. It's been a minute since we've done turkey in an oven, so I'm happy to try something new.

Got my bird in the brine.  2 cups salt to two gallons water, 3rd cup worcestershire, 5 tablespoons garlic, half a cup of brown sugar, yellow onion quartered, sage, rosmary, garlic and a diced up lemon and orange.

Smelled dank.  Getting excited

Going spatchcock? Or breaking down by piece?

Personally I prefer a dry brine over wet. Easier to get the portions right and saves some fridge space, and meat comes out just as juicy.

Anyways, off the hook this year altogether as we're traveling for the first year in a long time

Looking for a way to make your relatives chill out this Thanksgiving? Weed butter-rubbed turkey might do the trick.

Start by pre-making the cannabutter rub. In a saucepan boil unsalted butter, water, a 1/4-ounce of ground marijuana. Then let it cool overnight in the refrigerator. Next create a marinade with another 1/4-ounce of weed, a few tablespoons of cannabutter, stock, maple syrup, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper. Prep the turkey (the recipe calls for a 12-pounder) by rubbing it down in cannabutter, salt, and pepper and injecting it with marinade for a fully weed-infused flesh. Roast, rest, and serve. Between the tryptophan and the marijuana you're likely to leave the dinner table relaxed and ready for a post-feast nap.

Anyone get a heritage turkey? We got one last year for our last year in the US and it was next level.

Doing lamb this year

I've had one before. My father in law made a huge deal about buying it, but has no sense of taste and smell.  It was ok, but I'm not a big fan of turkey so I'm not the best judge.
