A Simply Perfect Roast Turkey

http://allrecipes.com/recipe/56348/a...-roast-turkey/

Turkey is the simplest food item to cook but it absorbs flavors very easily. The best turkey I ever had was my chef buddies "Jack Daniels" roasted turkey.
Flambé "boil out" the alcohol from the JD and lightly baste your roasting turkey with it. Alcohol has to go or it will be bitter. I am using apple cider to brine this years turkey.

Thank yah Sanders.

I will be down at my sister's place in Arizona this year. My brother-in-law has quite an elaborate pit to pit-roast a few birds in the ground at once. He starts them around 3 a.m. and they come out 10 hours later, falling off the bone. We haven't carved a turkey at his place - ever. But, dang it is sure tasty!

On the rare occasion I get a turkey I generally take it to my favorite BBQ joint & let them smoke it for me.

Someone else's house is a good one.

I like that recipe.

I prefer them roasted or deep fried without any secret sauces or spices. If roasted baste the turkey with butter so it will Brown good. Anything additional will detract from the taste of the turkey.

Well, that is the way I like turkey

The best way I've found to cook turkey is on the grill. Crisp skin and nice juicy meat. It's one of the easiest ways to cook one too.

Maybe I'm an anomaly, I don't really like turkey meat anymore.
I'll stick with ham or S pam.

Konstantin · 11-17-2017, 07:05 AM

I can't eat turkey or any other bird anymore. Hell, I can't even have chicken broth in anything. I can still grill a good bird, but I can't eat it.

I got a fresh leg of pork I'm making a ham out of. If anybody wants my ham recipe let me know.

This is how I have done it the last several years and it has always been great.

Good recipe.

You do not have to cook meat or poultry at a high temp to have it be done. It just hast to be the recommended temperature for safe eating, rare medium or well. The slower you cook it the less shrinkage and the juicer it will be...

That's what G'ma is doing this time also.
With a turkey AND a ham.

I told my wife this year I was willing to deep fry one, Bass Pro has the fryers on sale, but she declined, we're going to my brother-in-law's place across the street, he's good at roasting them. I'll just open the wine bottles!
