ITT thanksgiving fuck ups

last year I cooked the turkey upside down

>> No.4941206

We don't celebrate thanksgiving over here. Thanks for the laugh though. How the fuck do you cook poultry upside down anyway?

>> No.4941225

>>4941206
im not even sure it just kind of happened
I think it turned out better the breast stayed submerged in juice

>> No.4941231

That's how my family does it every year, cook it upside down and it stays juicier, just flip it over towards the end to get some color on the top

I tried to deep fry a turkey and caught my driveway on fire

One year I put too much salt in the brine. Then the next year I didn't have enough salt. The year after that I stopped brining. :(

One year I used my pressure canner to cook the turkey. It was done in less than 20 minutes and even the bones were a bit soft. I might do that again this year if I get a second turkey.

>>4942543
Did you use a gas fryer instead of an electric one?

>> No.4942583

>>4942577
yeah I used propane
it boiled over as soon as I put the bird in so I said fuck it pulled it out of the burning oil and baked it

If you have a v-rack, you can roast it upside down and then turn it over at the very to crisp up the skin. It works quite well for keeping the breast for overcooking.

But the next year it would have been perfect if you met the proportions in the middle! try again and I'm sure you'll get it :)

>> No.4943532

No disasters come to mind, but I always find it weird that my kids do not like the stuffing I make (outside of the bird) while it's one of my favorite flavors around the holidays. And they'll each ask for a turkey leg, which is weird.

I've never eaten or tasted Turkey? Is it really just like chicken with more meat?

in college my friends and I bought a 21lb bird for four people and ate it after just 4 hours in the oven

pic related - its our turkey after being "cooked"

>> No.4943810

It's similar to chicken, but with stronger flavor and is more savory by default, IMO. Of course that can be fucked up if you cook it wrong.

Duck is best (easily available) bird though.
