Hi Chef Jean Pierre! I had to tell you that for the first time ever I tried your recipe for the BEST turkey and it certainbly was. My wife, who had to give me some adult supervision :) said it was the best turkey she has ever tasted and she's been doing the turkey dinner for over 45 years! It was an absolute HIT, everyone loved it. You always say it's so easy "a child couyld do it", well this was essy enough for a truck driver to do it so, kinda the same thing! We also added your cranberrie reccipe, fantastic!! Love your passion for cooking and teaching. Thank you
Omg Chef. It's been a whole year since I watched your video from last year. Last year I was told I had terminal liver cancer and given 6-12 months but it's been over 16 months. Thanks to the glory of God. Thank you Chef for an amazing year watching your videos... blessings to you my friend. It's been an amazing year and a bit.🙏🏽🙏🏽🤗🤗
We need a pandemic of ChefJP-21 to make the world a much happier place. Really, if you woke up, had a dose of chef, and cooked his recipes, wouldn't that make at least 50pct of the people much happier and healthier?
When Chef says, "Hello friends, another fantastic video today," I smile because there is happiness for the next several minutes. Daily doses of Chef is the bonus for the holiday season.
Chef Jean Pierre. I love you. You are my escape from all the worries I have about "healthy eating." I read today about the value of mindlessness over mindfulness, and to me, YOU are my "mindlessness." Your videos are fantasies. This sounds like an insult, but food is my LOVE--how can anyone not live for best-ever food-- and having you bring this truth alive without regard for anything but its JOY is PRICELESS. Don't ever stop. When I need you, you are there.
THE BEST TURKEY EVER I have been cooking turkey for holidays for 40 years and this recipe (and a turkey from a local farmer) made the best tasting meal. A huge help was also the tutorial on carving the turkey. No more dried white meat. Thank you Chef Jean-Pierrre, you are truly a professional.
Sitting at your table for any meal would be a treat and a blessing. What an amazing chef and teacher you are. I’ve never seen anyone prepare a Thanksgiving turkey with as much knowledge and artistry. You hope we invite you to our house? Mama mia, we wouldn’t ever let you leave. God bless you, Chef😍
I watched this video several times and followed Chef Jean-Pierre's instructions to the letter. I only added fresh crushed cranberries and rosemary to the stuffing. I even purchased the rack, utensils, and thermometer Chef Jean-Pierre uses beforehand. This was the first time I ever prepared and baked a turkey, a 13 lb bird. The turkey turned out excellent. The white meat was just as soft, moist, and tender as the dark meat. The best turkey I have ever eaten! Superb. Bravo, Chef Jean-Pierre!
I was a person you had never either cooked or eaten turkey before. But this last thankging was my first Thanksgiving and I had to cook the turkey! I decided to follow this vid and my turkey turned amazing. People loved it and they said it was their best turkey!!! Thank you chef. This is the best cooking channel!!!!
Chef no compliment I can think of will do you justice. I've cooking 60 years and I learn something from each of your inspiring and very entertaining videos. Thanks!
Love Chef's humour! Oh, my word, when the romantic music and hearts popped up, it made my day. This is literally the only cooking show that I subscribe to. Not just because Chef is so enthusiastic but also because he teaches so many small tips and tricks, like how to use the grater correctly. I'm learning a lot!
Chef Jean-Pierre is great. I do have 2 other recommendations for you though. Food Wishes (Chef John) is a GREAT channel that is just like this one and chock full of good advice/great recipes. Adam Ragusea also has a lot of useful recipes, but the main draw of his channel are the in depth food science videos (he gets real scientists to interview and everything).
I followed your turkey recipe from last year, and it came out delicious. It was worth waking up at 3am to start cooking. The recipe was so fantastic that it upset my mother. She couldn't understand how I made a better turkey than her on my first try. Thanks for the laughs, and I'll be trying this recipe this year!
Devin did you try the brown gravy too? oh my. we did. I only had some merlot to use, no port or cognac, but it still is the most amazing gravy I ever smelled or tasted, no lie.
@@theoldbigmoose you are absolutely correct, we really are being taught by a master Chef, and he's not even a nasty s.o.b. like Gordon Ramsey lol. and Chef's food is much better than Gordon's fish sauced everything!
im gonna try that and his method. i was a bit surprised about the 325 f cooking temp. but this guy seems to be the best chef i probably spent 4 hours watching his videos in amazement.
@@Sean-pc8zs Not yet! We had to move our Thanksgiving to Sunday to accommodate a surgery plan, but I'll be making my beef and chicken stock from scratch on Saturday and giving it a shot. I'm excited!
I think that Chef Jean Pierre is the only person in the world who tells you that something is going to be amazing and it will actually be just amazing, he is like the only one who perfectly uses that word 😂
OMG...I can't stop laughing... when Careless Whispers came on with the hearts...I totally lost it. I cannot remember when I've had so much fun looking at a video and learning amazing stuff. Thank you chef. This year, we're having a Chef Jean Pierre Thanksgiving... from turkey, to stuffing, to gravy (2 kinds). Have a Happy Thanksgiving. I love your channel and you're my favorite food channel.
A chef, a teacher, an artist and a comedian all wrapped up in one! You're my absolute favorite chef to watch! I get so much information from your videos and I'm laughing through most of it! Keep them coming Chef! The world needs more of you!
Followed your instructions to the letter.....results were exact! Everyone loved the turkey, thought I went to cooking school to learn such perfection. Will never reveal my secret, because I just love the praise.😍 Thanks chef Jean-Pierre, truly was something anyone can do, even a pot-burner like me.😒
Chef J P is not only a great teacher but also so entertaining. I’ve been so happy since I found you. I just came back from spending three weeks in Europe and got my family and friends hooked on Chef Jean Pierre. Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes with us 😘
Chef, I have been making turkey for Thanksgiving for years, trying a number of different methods, and I have tasted turkey made by many others. Yesterday, I prepared and cooked your turkey recipe for Thanksgiving and I can say without hesitation that yours is the best turkey I have ever tasted in my entire life! Thank you.
I watched all the videos in prep of Thanksgiving-- so many useful tips I hadn’t used before -- I’m telling you,, I’ve been making Thanksgiving dinner for a lot of years but this year was the first year where people couldn’t stop raving about how good everything was-- even comments like “this is the best I’ve ever tasted”. For the next two days, my family wouldn’t stop eating the leftovers--and I didn’t even have to force them!😊 It’s amazing how some pretty simple ingredients and techniques make a world of difference-- I love how you really teach us, not just demonstrate--thanks for all you do, Chef JP!
I’ve used your turkey recipes for 2 years now, and I’m pretty sure I will for the rest of my life! Each year was such a success, and last year my 16-20 pound Turkey was DEMOLISHED between 8 people. It was so juicy, flavorful and easy to follow! I have small kitchen space and I really appreciate that I didn’t have to take additional steps like brining, to achieve that flavorful juiciness. Thank you so much & happy holidays 🥰
I made this turkey tonight (11/24/22) and it was the best turkey we have ever tasted. It was tender and full of flavor and everyone around the table loved it. Thank You Chef for this great recipe, I will use this method going forward, it was amazing!!!!
Thank you Chef. My husband told me that this was the best Thanksgiving dinner I have ever made, and he was right. His favorites were the turkey, dressing, gravy and sweet potatoes. I owe it all to you and thank you from the bottom of my heart. He also followed your video to carve the turkey!
Hi Chef! We tried to do what you showed on this turkey and wasn't able to do it exactly, but it was the best turkey we have ever had!!! It was a 15 lb turkey and we ate the entire turkey (8 people) in two days! We have never ate a turkey to the bones before. The grandchildren loved it and my son (who has never liked turkey) loved it. Thank you so much! We will never ever fix another turkey that isn't done like this!!!
I followed your instructions 100% and honestly, this was the best turkey I have ever cooked. It was not only show stopping beautiful, the juices ran out of the breast when squeezed. I also followed your video on how to properly carve Turkey; it was amazing to serve this piece of art. Everyone loved and raved about it (it had never happened before - ever) . No more overcooked, dry meat. Thank you for passing on your knowledge and doing it with fun! You're a great man!
Every year, I'm thankful for Chef Jean Pierre's positive energy and videos. You have a great crew with you too. Love the editing text. Many cheers all!
OMG I LOLed. I have to say, I found this channel last thanksgiving (2020) when I was cooking my first turkey ever, and I loved it so much I now watch every video. I hate seafood and I even watch all the seafood videos. I'll never cook them but I watch them anyway because Chef JP is so entertaining. But I have cooked several of his recipes. Most recently was beef Stroganoff and my son said it was the best beef stew he ever ate! The videos are great, the chef is great, the editing is great. Yesterday's video with the Bermuda Triangle/Rectangle cracked me up. I had to pause this turkey video because I was laughing too hard. I would love to see a Q&A with chef JP. Why did he hate the induction cooktop so much?
You are so great at what you do, but also so humble about it.... I think that catches our attention, but what keeps our attention, and I really mean this, is your passion for cooking. You couldn't hide it if you tried! In this order, I love your recipes, I love your instruction, and mostly, I love your passion! My only regret was that I was never able to attend your cooking school! OMG, what a blast that would have been! ... Don't change and keep on cooking!
❤ love you Chef Jean-Pierre! My mother is French ….has passed away. Brings back memories of her. Love your step by step instructions! Best cooking show!
Every time I think I know all there is to know about something, Chef Jean Pierre teaches me something new and inspires new ideas for me. Thanks so much for sharing your amazing talents with us and teaching us your wisdom!
We love your videos better than anything on Food Network. Don’t change anything…. I did your whole turkey and gravy (2021 recipe) it was Amazing my friend! Thank you
When I first found your channel over a year ago, your personality drew me to you, the way you touch and speak to food made me really enjoy you, your passion for butter made me love you, and your obsession with onion made me wonder how I’ve lived for so long without you as a presence in my life. I’ve always loved food and cooking but you brought in my life a new sense of adventure and skill in my cooking I didn’t know was possible. You’re great! You’re hands down the best chef anywhere, tv, UA-cam, etc for so many reasons. But mostly it’s because of your joy and love for food and how you just glow through the screen.
Chef Jean-Pierre, you truly are an artist. I love what you do and thank you for showing us how to look like we know what we are doing. I'd like to shake your hand.
I tried Jean Pierre’s recipe/technique and the turkey came out amazing ! We bought the same thermometer he used and stopped it at 160 degrees and usually the dry white meat was wonderfully juicy ! He makes cooking fun and explains it well ! 😀
I made this turkey and Chef Jean Pierre’s traditional gravy and they both turned out amazingly! My best turkey dinner yet! Thank you Chef for breaking down these recipes so that us aspiring home chefs can follow along! Love the channel….keep the videos coming! Happy holidays!
I'm subscribing. I came across this video and thought, I don't really want to watch yet another turkey video, let alone one 42 minutes long. But something compelled me to click on it anyway, and I have literally enjoyed every second. This guy is wonderfully humorous and entertaining. Wish I had watched this one first.
I prepped and made this just the way you instructed for Christmas and it was a hit having the left overs today in a sandwich/ baguette that will consist of Brie, cranberry, warm stuffing, gravy and off course turkey with plenty of Irish ☘️ butter only the best. Thanks for sharing chef God bless Happy 2022 .
I can't tell you how much I appreciate a guy who puts a few sticks of butter up in that turkey skin. See people putting it all over the outside, does nothing. See some people putting half a stick in there lol... does nothing unless you use A LOT. Lather that sucker up with some seasoned butter, right under the skin. You have to have enough butter in there because it's all gonna melt off. You need enough to really season the whole breast. And if you have stuffing... GOOD LORD, it's amazing. And the drippings? YES. Glad to see he even added more butter to the top. It's gonna melt off but it will season the top of the breast and the skin. SEASONED BUTTER IS KEY! God bless this amazing man.
Thank you Chef, the turkey was awesome! Moist, flavorful, tender, wow! And for those not as adventurous as Chef is when it comes to butter, we used less butter under the skin (but lots of seasoning) and rubbed the leftover all over the outside of the skin, and still got the best turkey ever! The thermometer placement trick also worked, took about 3½-4 hours at 325 for a 20lb bird. Thank you so much Chef, we LOVE your videos!
Thermometer placement did not work for me, got to 160 after 2 hours in Convection Roast oven. I put it into the breast and it is reading 125 so I must not have put it in the correct place. I felt the joint and backed it off just like he did. Now I'm not sure when to take it out. I guess I'll hop to 155 in the breast and see.
Excellent video. I love how he constantly wash his hands and doesn't wipe his nose or put his hands in his hair like some chiefs and people do when cooking. Thank you chief for such an excellent video on cooking with humor.
Wow, this recipe is amazing. Never thought to use apples. That rack is super helpful. The sage and orange butter is perfect with turkey. We appreciate the cooking time/thermometer tips, these things make a huge difference. Sending this to Mom, hope she uses it. Another gem Chef.
I could watch Jean-Pierre all day and never get tired of hearing him explain everything he is doing and why, love your vids and hope that you never change. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family and team.
I chefe I put my turkey in water salt lemons and beer three days before i bake so it's very moist once is cooked and before is done about 10 minutes I take one or two Lemons and give it a bath so my mother and aunt do it like this for years and is amazing I also stuffed it with hamburger and ckiken bakon ham onion garlic mushrooms olive oil like a stew and take the fat liquid out and add one package of chicken stuffing.I am very happy I see your recipe so I can change a little bit and enjoy both so proud of you chefe you have so much patience to cook thank you.Happy Thanksgiving for 2023
I cooked turkey at any season of the year, and tomorrow is August 5, I have one defrosting! My oldest daughter is visiting us for few days ! I will cook it with your way! yesterday I cooked the steak fillet M! And was freaking amazing for my younger daughter! Thanks a million I enjoy the instructions and the best tasting experience!
FANTASTIC Video!!! I can’t wait to try your turkey method!! It seems that I learn more about cooking every time I watch you!! And I’m an old lady now! I love your sense of humor and I laugh along as I learn!! Now I need to watch your dressing / stuffing video and the gravy video!! That turkey looked completely amazing!!
I made your turkey today. My family was so impressed with the results. I told them it was all you. Not only did I make your recipe but I carved it like you did. Thank you for all your help! We had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Many blessings to you!
Superb, Jean-Pierre! We were all in heaven with THIS bird you showed us to do it your way!!! Omygosh what a delicious bird. I did brine the the bird for a day in sea salt water too. I also added dried cherries and slivers of garlic as well as your onions, oranges, apples...all that BUTTER was amazing!!! It made the best gravy... NEVER liked turkey until we made this recipe! A 10 out of 10 hit for sure! Thank you so much!!! THIS friends is a turkey to make for Christmas or Thanksgiving. Seriously the best.
Chef! THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for your recipes!🥰🥰I made the turkey along with you today, and the turkey gravy, and cranberry sauce!! Everyone LOVED IT! I truly APPRECIATE that you do these videos and give us the recipes!!! AMAZING! I wiggled my fingers and made my eyes wide when I tasted the recipes! Just like you! May God Bless you and yours this festive season🙏🏻🤗
I made this turkey recipe yesterday. It did. Not disapoint. Flavorful, moist, crispy skin. Thank you for sharing your recipes and wonderful teaching!! I learn something new with every video. Thank you and God bless you!
Asa da, Naomi ! Pe ziua, sa putem vedea și noi ce loc de recreere ai langa tine . Ar trebui sa aprecieze Caleb faptul ca te-ai gândit la sănătatea lui . O zi binecuvântată!
I made this for Thanksgiving, and it was so juicy and amazing friends. We also brined it over night. People said it was the best turkey they've ever had. Fantastic chef! Absolutely awesome.
Lol, I thought I invented this method of lifting the skin & as I call it "under-marinating" when I was 13yrs old(40 yrs ago)😂 I couldn't understand just top rubbing only when the meat needs flavour? I do this for all poultry with different butter mixes, always works beautifully! Thankyou Chef! ❤
Truly my best Christmas turkey ever. A total hit! I made an herbed butter with fresh herbs, garlic, and spices. I stuffed it full of apple, orange, onion, and piled excessive butter on the outside just like Jean-Pierre did. I made gravy from the turkey drippings, butter, apple, orange, onion, mixed with bone broth I'd frozen from thanksgiving, it was was the most delicious (and rich) gravy I've ever made. Thanks
Made this for the family yesterday......It was the best we have had in ages. Many compliments from the family. Chef Pierre, Many Thanks for your videos and for sharing your knowledge of having fun while cooking with all of us!!
Thank you for doing these videos. Whenever I get notifications for them, they are instantly watched However, my family will protest if I stop brining and smoking my turkeys. Mmm, almost time for bourbon maple turkey.
@@johncspine2787 having two large pellet smokers/grills and multiple Wi-Fi thermometers makes cooking for Thanksgiving so easy. I will end up having extra half turkey to prepare, so I may do J-P's method.
Chef Jean Pierre is truly the best, I discovered this channel last year when trying to find a gravy recipe and haven’t stopped watching it since. I’ve learned so much and continue to be amazed by his passion for cooking and teaching others. Can’t wait to see what comes next! Happy Thanksgiving Chef!
Chef, I followed your turkey recipe this year and wanted to say thank you. I had a 24 1/2 pound bird so timing had to be spot on to ensure it was ready in time for our guests. I did exactly what you did using the sage butter under the skin and lathered all over the top of the bird. I had two Bluetooth probes in the turkey, one in the thigh and one in the breast. Pulled the bird when thigh temp reached 157. Breast temp was well below that but I knew temp would rise while resting. The turkey was absolutely perfect when I carved it like you did. Juiciest turkey I have ever cooked and I have done many over the past five decades. Will never do one any other way. Your method is the best and I received many compliments regarding tenderness and moistness. Made sure to tell them it was your method so suspect you’ll be getting some more subscribers. Thanks again chef. P.S. breaking those wings was a little tricky but I managed to crack those suckers and get them tied behind the birds back.
Merci beaucoup, Chef Jean Pierre for sharing this wonderful recipe! C'EST absolutement trop délicieux!!😋 We will try this year; not sure for Canadian Thanksgiving or Christmas, but we will do it! Au ma maison, ma more fait la dinde avec du vin! It is always STUNNING!! Your buttering of the turkey exterior, is what we will incorporate to give us that colour, and extra flavour. Joyeux Action de Grâces, Chef Jean Pierre! From Toronto, Ontario and Montréal, Québec Canada🇨🇦
Chef, my daughter made this recipe to the letter for the 2023 Thanksgiving dinner, and it was the very best turkey we have ever had. It was delicious. Thank you so much!
This is the first time baking a turkey and I followed this recipe. I have to say it’s the best turkey I’ve ever had thank you for the relatively easy and delicious recipe. I only added 1 more step which was to dry brine the turkey over night in the fridge.
Hi Chef Jean Pierre! I had to tell you that for the first time ever I tried your recipe for the BEST turkey and it certainbly was.

I wacthed 10 videos so far and learning more and more each time. I love this channel!!! 🙃🙃🙃🙃
Hi Chef! We tried to do what you showed on this turkey and wasn't able to do it exactly, but it was the best turkey we have ever had!!! It was a 15 lb turkey and we ate the entire turkey (8 people) in two days! We have never ate a turkey to the bones before. The grandchildren loved it and my son (who has never liked turkey) loved it. Thank you so much! We will never ever fix another turkey that isn't done like this!!!
I followed your instructions 100% and honestly, this was the best turkey I have ever cooked. It was not only show stopping beautiful, the juices ran out of the breast when squeezed. I also followed your video on how to properly carve Turkey; it was amazing to serve this piece of art. Everyone loved and raved about it (it had never happened before - ever) . No more overcooked, dry meat. Thank you for passing on your knowledge and doing it with fun! You're a great man!
So glad you had such a successful thanksgiving! It is comment like yours that makes it all worthwhile! 👍😊
Every year, I'm thankful for Chef Jean Pierre's positive energy and videos.
You have a great crew with you too.
Love the editing text.
Many cheers all!
Sooo funny , love your sense of humour , great music for the butter segment 😂😂😂
OMG I LOLed. I have to say, I found this channel last thanksgiving (2020) when I was cooking my first turkey ever, and I loved it so much I now watch every video. I hate seafood and I even watch all the seafood videos. I'll never cook them but I watch them anyway because Chef JP is so entertaining. But I have cooked several of his recipes. Most recently was beef Stroganoff and my son said it was the best beef stew he ever ate! The videos are great, the chef is great, the editing is great. Yesterday's video with the Bermuda Triangle/Rectangle cracked me up. I had to pause this turkey video because I was laughing too hard. I would love to see a Q&A with chef JP. Why did he hate the induction cooktop so much?
It’s August and I am drooling over Turkey Day Turkey. Stunning Chef.
You are so great at what you do, but also so humble about it.... I think that catches our attention, but what keeps our attention, and I really mean this, is your passion for cooking. You couldn't hide it if you tried! In this order, I love your recipes, I love your instruction, and mostly, I love your passion! My only regret was that I was never able to attend your cooking school! OMG, what a blast that would have been! ... Don't change and keep on cooking!
I never even knew to peel the skin like that. This channel is amazing even for experienced cooks. Love it! ❤🎉 can't wait for THGV now!
Never would've thought to coat the turkey in butter like that either. Wow looks delicious
Poor turkey got arrested...another classic from out favorite chef and teacher 💥💥💯💣
❤ love you Chef Jean-Pierre! My mother is French ….has passed away. Brings back memories of her. Love your step by step instructions! Best cooking show!
Every time I think I know all there is to know about something, Chef Jean Pierre teaches me something new and inspires new ideas for me. Thanks so much for sharing your amazing talents with us and teaching us your wisdom!
I've been doing the herb rub for about 20 years. Not just sage all the herbs Italian seasoning garlic onion cayenne etc. delicious.
A 42 minutes vídeos this is just what i need for a smooth friday thank you Chef!!!
We love your videos better than anything on Food Network. Don’t change anything…. I did your whole turkey and gravy (2021 recipe) it was Amazing my friend! Thank you
I have watched this whole video and this is just fantastic what chef Jean does with this recipe. DELICIOUS and gorgeous. Thanks chef
too much butter I do stuffing in the turkey and my family will never let Me change my receipe
When I first found your channel over a year ago, your personality drew me to you, the way you touch and speak to food made me really enjoy you, your passion for butter made me love you, and your obsession with onion made me wonder how I’ve lived for so long without you as a presence in my life. I’ve always loved food and cooking but you brought in my life a new sense of adventure and skill in my cooking I didn’t know was possible. You’re great! You’re hands down the best chef anywhere, tv, UA-cam, etc for so many reasons. But mostly it’s because of your joy and love for food and how you just glow through the screen.
As always Chef, Amazing. I can cook thanks to you. Love your presentation and keep them coming.
👍👍👍🙏😊
Chef Jean-Pierre, you truly are an artist. I love what you do and thank you for showing us how to look like we know what we are doing. I'd like to shake your hand.
I tried Jean Pierre’s recipe/technique and the turkey came out amazing ! We bought the same thermometer he used and stopped it at 160 degrees and usually the dry white meat was wonderfully juicy ! He makes cooking fun and explains it well ! 😀
I made this turkey and Chef Jean Pierre’s traditional gravy and they both turned out amazingly! My best turkey dinner yet! Thank you Chef for breaking down these recipes so that us aspiring home chefs can follow along! Love the channel….keep the videos coming! Happy holidays!
🙏🙏🙏❤️
Milestone!!!!
Hi Chef, we made the turkey exactly as you did and it was fantastic they loved it as did we. Thank you and God bless.
I'm subscribing. I came across this video and thought, I don't really want to watch yet another turkey video, let alone one 42 minutes long. But something compelled me to click on it anyway, and I have literally enjoyed every second. This guy is wonderfully humorous and entertaining. Wish I had watched this one first.
Thank you 🙏
I prepped and made this just the way you instructed for Christmas and it was a hit having the left overs today in a sandwich/ baguette that will consist of Brie, cranberry, warm stuffing, gravy and off course turkey with plenty of Irish ☘️ butter only the best. Thanks for sharing chef God bless Happy 2022 .
I can't tell you how much I appreciate a guy who puts a few sticks of butter up in that turkey skin. See people putting it all over the outside, does nothing. See some people putting half a stick in there lol... does nothing unless you use A LOT. Lather that sucker up with some seasoned butter, right under the skin. You have to have enough butter in there because it's all gonna melt off. You need enough to really season the whole breast. And if you have stuffing... GOOD LORD, it's amazing. And the drippings? YES. Glad to see he even added more butter to the top. It's gonna melt off but it will season the top of the breast and the skin. SEASONED BUTTER IS KEY! God bless this amazing man.
🙏😊
We had our dinner early, I followed this recipe and it was very easy and delicious! The juiciest and most flavorful bird ever! Thanks
My favorite French chef , I love how you teach,guide ,educate us in the good cooking way ❤
It's Thanksgiving Eve and once again I'm watching Chef Jean-Pierre's excellent turkey episode. Always, sage advice from the maestro extraordinaire!
Nice pun! I see what you did there!
Me too I’m watching for the first time ,on my last minute
Merci Beacoup Chef, Love to watch you, so fun and so educational from a Big French Chef
Thank you Chef, the turkey was awesome! Moist, flavorful, tender, wow! And for those not as adventurous as Chef is when it comes to butter, we used less butter under the skin (but lots of seasoning) and rubbed the leftover all over the outside of the skin, and still got the best turkey ever! The thermometer placement trick also worked, took about 3½-4 hours at 325 for a 20lb bird.
Thank you so much Chef, we LOVE your videos!
Thermometer placement did not work for me, got to 160 after 2 hours in Convection Roast oven. I put it into the breast and it is reading 125 so I must not have put it in the correct place. I felt the joint and backed it off just like he did. Now I'm not sure when to take it out. I guess I'll hop to 155 in the breast and see.
Excellent video. I love how he constantly wash his hands and doesn't wipe his nose or put his hands in his hair like some chiefs and people do when cooking. Thank you chief for such an excellent video on cooking with humor.
Wow, this recipe is amazing. Never thought to use apples. That rack is super helpful. The sage and orange butter is perfect with turkey. We appreciate the cooking time/thermometer tips, these things make a huge difference. Sending this to Mom, hope she uses it. Another gem Chef.
Well meaning stranger: "I'm going to tell my Mom how she SHOULD cook the turkey."
Me: (In slow motion) "NOOOOO!!!"
Absolutely beautiful, Chef. My mouth has been watering for 40 minutes. Thank you, and I love Thanksgiving too.🦃
I could watch Jean-Pierre all day and never get tired of hearing him explain everything he is doing and why, love your vids and hope that you never change. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family and team.
The most beautiful and delicious turkey I have ever seen, thanks, I have always complaining from dry turkey meat but we talk now
Thank you Chef! I made my first turkey using your help. I also carved my first turkey! The turkey was delicious and juicy and beautiful.
👏👏👏👍
Love watching you Jean-Pierre. You make cooking fun while at the same time, I'm learning so much. Thank You
This man makes me happy, wish he was my grandfather 😁
I chefe I put my turkey in water salt lemons and beer three days before i bake so it's very moist once is cooked and before is done about 10 minutes I take one or two Lemons and give it a bath so my mother and aunt do it like this for years and is amazing I also stuffed it with hamburger and ckiken bakon ham onion garlic mushrooms olive oil like a stew and take the fat liquid out and add one package of chicken stuffing.I am very happy I see your recipe so I can change a little bit and enjoy both so proud of you chefe you have so much patience to cook thank you.Happy Thanksgiving for 2023
🙏😊
I have learned so very very much from you. So indebted to you, thank you maestro.
I cooked turkey at any season of the year, and tomorrow is August 5, I have one defrosting! My oldest daughter is visiting us for few days !
I will cook it with your way! yesterday I cooked the steak fillet M! And was freaking amazing for my younger daughter!
Thanks a million I enjoy the instructions and the best tasting experience!
I just made this turkey today! IT WAS "AMAZING MY FRIENDS!"😂😂 I kept repeating "look a this!"
Thank you chef!
Thank you for sharing your secrets to get a delicious turkey. May God keep you always happy and healthy.
FANTASTIC Video!!! I can’t wait to try your turkey method!! It seems that I learn more about cooking every time I watch you!! And I’m an old lady now! I love your sense of humor and I laugh along as I learn!! Now I need to watch your dressing / stuffing video and the gravy video!! That turkey looked completely amazing!!
I made your turkey today. My family was so impressed with the results. I told them it was all you. Not only did I make your recipe but I carved it like you did. Thank you for all your help! We had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Many blessings to you!
Love watching you Chef! A big G’Day from Australia
Mate it’s 1am go to bed
Superb, Jean-Pierre! We were all in heaven with THIS bird you showed us to do it your way!!!
Omygosh what a delicious bird. I did brine the the bird for a day in sea salt water too. I also added dried cherries and slivers of garlic as well as your onions, oranges, apples...all that BUTTER was amazing!!! It made the best gravy... NEVER liked turkey until we made this recipe! A 10 out of 10 hit for sure! Thank you so much!!! THIS friends is a turkey to make for Christmas or Thanksgiving. Seriously the best.
So glad you liked!!! 🙏😊
Chef! THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for your recipes!🥰🥰I made the turkey along with you today, and the turkey gravy, and cranberry sauce!! Everyone LOVED IT! I truly APPRECIATE that you do these videos and give us the recipes!!! AMAZING! I wiggled my fingers and made my eyes wide when I tasted the recipes! Just like you! May God Bless you and yours this festive season🙏🏻🤗
🙏❤️
I made this turkey recipe yesterday. It did. Not disapoint. Flavorful, moist, crispy skin. Thank you for sharing your recipes and wonderful teaching!! I learn something new with every video. Thank you and God bless you!
Another Masterclass from a wonderful energetic chef. THANK YOU. Happiness on a plate! 😀
Asa da, Naomi !
Pe ziua, sa putem vedea și noi ce loc de recreere ai langa tine .
Ar trebui sa aprecieze Caleb faptul ca te-ai gândit la sănătatea lui .
O zi binecuvântată!
I made this for Thanksgiving, and it was so juicy and amazing friends. We also brined it over night. People said it was the best turkey they've ever had. Fantastic chef! Absolutely awesome.
Lol, I thought I invented this method of lifting the skin & as I call it "under-marinating" when I was 13yrs old(40 yrs ago)😂 I couldn't understand just top rubbing only when the meat needs flavour? I do this for all poultry with different butter mixes, always works beautifully! Thankyou Chef! ❤
Totally enjoyed watching this video. Learned a lot and chef very entertaining...👋 will watch more of his videos.
Truly my best Christmas turkey ever. A total hit! I made an herbed butter with fresh herbs, garlic, and spices. I stuffed it full of apple, orange, onion, and piled excessive butter on the outside just like Jean-Pierre did. I made gravy from the turkey drippings, butter, apple, orange, onion, mixed with bone broth I'd frozen from thanksgiving, it was was the most delicious (and rich) gravy I've ever made. Thanks
What a fantastic Turkey and presentation, thank you Chef for making it look so easy ! I love all your videos !
Made this for the family yesterday......It was the best we have had in ages. Many compliments from the family. Chef Pierre, Many Thanks for your videos and for sharing your knowledge of having fun while cooking with all of us!!
Thank you for doing these videos. Whenever I get notifications for them, they are instantly watched However, my family will protest if I stop brining and smoking my turkeys. Mmm, almost time for bourbon maple turkey.
@@johncspine2787 having two large pellet smokers/grills and multiple Wi-Fi thermometers makes cooking for Thanksgiving so easy.
I will end up having extra half turkey to prepare, so I may do J-P's method.
I also add a carrot and 2 celery stalks.... and 2 garlic cloves and a stick of butter... my family loves my turkey and my church.
Chef Jean Pierre is truly the best, I discovered this channel last year when trying to find a gravy recipe and haven’t stopped watching it since. I’ve learned so much and continue to be amazed by his passion for cooking and teaching others. Can’t wait to see what comes next! Happy Thanksgiving Chef!
Just made this. There are no words!!! And the gravy!!!!! OMG.
Great job and I appreciate the carving lesson!
You are an artist!
Chef, I followed your turkey recipe this year and wanted to say thank you. I had a 24 1/2 pound bird so timing had to be spot on to ensure it was ready in time for our guests. I did exactly what you did using the sage butter under the skin and lathered all over the top of the bird. I had two Bluetooth probes in the turkey, one in the thigh and one in the breast. Pulled the bird when thigh temp reached 157. Breast temp was well below that but I knew temp would rise while resting. The turkey was absolutely perfect when I carved it like you did. Juiciest turkey I have ever cooked and I have done many over the past five decades. Will never do one any other way. Your method is the best and I received many compliments regarding tenderness and moistness. Made sure to tell them it was your method so suspect you’ll be getting some more subscribers. Thanks again chef.
P.S. breaking those wings was a little tricky but I managed to crack those suckers and get them tied behind the birds back.
I can tell this is the juiciest turkey I have ever seen just by looking at it.
My husband and I, as well as my picky son, LOVE this recipe...it is BEAUTIFUL and easy!!!!
Merci beaucoup, Chef Jean Pierre for sharing this wonderful recipe! C'EST absolutement trop délicieux!!😋 We will try this year; not sure for Canadian Thanksgiving or Christmas, but we will do it!
Au ma maison, ma more fait la dinde avec du vin! It is always STUNNING!!
Your buttering of the turkey exterior, is what we will incorporate to give us that colour, and extra flavour.
Joyeux Action de Grâces, Chef Jean Pierre!

Chef, my daughter made this recipe to the letter for the 2023 Thanksgiving dinner, and it was the very best turkey we have ever had. It was delicious. Thank you so much!
Wish I could have Thanksgiving dinner with Jean Pierre!
This is the first time baking a turkey and I followed this recipe. I have to say it’s the best turkey I’ve ever had thank you for the relatively easy and delicious recipe. I only added 1 more step which was to dry brine the turkey over night in the fridge.
