"fruit studded coffee cake" sounds like an odd mix to me, but definitely looks tasty.

Looks like you went a lower temp. What temp/time did you do?

It was chefsteps to the letter, i think its the prague powder that you're seeing.

You must have had it in there for a long time because that **** is radiant pink.

Yeah that part got a little random, because you're supposed to add the prague to the brine, but i'd injected mine, and its supposed to be added to the submerged protein, whereas mine was sat in a puddle in a tray. Iirc i also tipped the measure, so i'd used way more than i was supposed to. It wasn't for a full 3 hours though, more like 90 mins, so it must just have been the amount used.

Ah makes sense. I'm going to try cooking mine at a lower temp to see if it's just absurdly juicy. Hope it doesn't impact texture too much.

Does anyone have any good tips/instructions on how to make a turkey? My girlfriend and I are going to attempt to make a small one for the two of us for Thanksgiving this week.

Thanks

Sunk,

I've cooked a bunch of turkeys that have all came out great using two simple tips.

1) brine overnight
2) use oven bag for roasting

Super simple, super easy.

Edit: also, thanksgiving is like seven and a half weeks away!

Sunk,

Just search brining turkey and you'll get tons of results like this one http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/a...ey-recipe.html

It's super simple. You're basically leaving the turkey in seasoned salt water overnight.

I like using an oven bag because it cooks faster - the oven bag package will have cooking time instructions on it. This isn't necessary and you can just follow time/temp instructions in the recipes you find.

Chop up some aromatics and toss them in with the turkey.

I like making stuffing inside the cavity.

There will prob be a plastic bag full of neck and giblets, be sure to take that out of the turkey cavity!

Canadian Thanksgiving is on Monday.

isunkurbttlship, I've used that Alton Brown recipe for 2-3 years, highly recommended.

I made the serious eats spatchcock turkey last christmas, was easily the best turkey I've made. Taking the back out and flattening the bird makes it cook so much quicker than any other method. Christmas bird was done in 75mins.

I dry brined with 1/2 cup salt + 2tbsp baking powder and let sit overnight in the fridge, really helped with getting a crispy skin. I'm planning on doing the herb-rubbed version for thanksgiving this weekend

Haven't done it with a whole turkey yet but I'm a dry brine convert. Kenji on that topic (with respect to Turkey):

Sunk,

Ignore what I said about brining and do the dry brining SL just posted!

Way simpler and sounds like it's better too. Thanks, SL, I'm gonna give that a try if I cook thanksgiving this year.
