Happy Thanksgiving to all 😊
And to all a good feast!
Happy Thanksgiving Christine and Rob
Happy Thanksgiving from Virginia
Happy Thanksgiving and many blessings on you both. from Connecticut 🦃
Same to you both 🦃
That bird was so mean it even ruined your dinner. 😂
Exactly & after he started carving him ihe slummed over.... Like I'm dying this dinner for you even in deathbed messing with people.
😂
Take it from a couples counselor: you guys are the world's cutest couple!!!
Hi guys! I have your answer about why your beautiful Thanksgiving turkey is chewy and tastes like leather. Did you process it right after Ron brought it back to the cabin? The bird needs to rest for at least 36 hours to go through the process of rigor mortis. We made the same mistake the first time we raised and butchered our first meat bird. Next time let it rest before cooking. Love your channel. Happy Thanksgiving! I’m thankful for your great content. ❤🦃
Oh and that mashed potato stuffing was wild!! lol
Also to add to that it could have been a bit older it sounds like. The beard being that long and spurs being that big he sounds like a good two years of age. Which is going to naturally be tougher than a younger one. Happy Thanksgiving 🍽️🦃 it gave me a good laugh because I can relate having killed an older rooster and ate it right away. It was soooo tough even hours in the instant pot didn't fix it. Lol now I know better for next time
I have to agree with you. We also made that mistake.
Yep, also after you do process it assuming you are leaving it as a full carcass, you should rub it down with salt and hang it in cold storage for a day before cooking. Rinse it off really well to get rid of the salt and all of the fluids mixed in the salt and THEN cook it in whichever manner you want. Even an old bird should be relatively tender then.
I did the same thing with a rooster when I was first starting out with poultry. I probably should have stewed that guy anyhow lol
@@windblownmccoy2908 lol the irony is I put mine in the instant pot for two hours and we still couldn't chew it 😂 I had to cut it across the grain in tiny pieces just to be able to use it. Even then it was soo chewy it was crazy.
OMG....Justine...!!! You were (trying) to cook a 20lb+ turkey...1723....or whenever....let's go with " A LONG TIME AGO" and it didn't turn out!! That's OKAY!! I THINK you are the only woman this year to do that. Anyway....at least you tried. But what happened to the mashed potatoes 🥔 🤔... now that is a mystery!! Loved the video 📹 and the chat after. You two are perfect together. Love ya both!! And Mish Mish!!
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🦃
Ron and Justine in ten years: "Do you remember that mean turkey we tried to cook that one time?" You made my day. 🤣🦃🦃🦃🦃 Happy Thanksgiving!
There are plenty of cooking shows where the food comes out perfect, but disappearing potatoes and raw turkey makes for an especially entertaining show😄 Happy Thanksgiving!
The secret to the best turkey is to brine it over night. I have been brining turkeys for 25 years and have never once had a dry or chewy turkey, always so moist and flavorful and everyone loves it. Brine your turkey! We do a the largest turkeys we can get 24 lbs and use a 5 gallon bucket. Trust me people, best yurkey you will ever cook.
Fun fact... My sister-in-law was told by her mother to remember to remove the giblets from the first chicken she cooked post marriage... She cut off the legs and flung them away... Roasted the bird with the plastic bag of giblets still inside... 😂🐓
That is hilarious! What!
😄
Uhm....I'm gonna admit it. I did the same thing back when I was first married and we had the in-laws over. I don't think anyone but myself and ex knew. Yes I did still serve it, minus the small plastic package. lol
I did the same thing!
@@tonyathomas9540 Same here. The first turkey you cook is always a "learning experience."
Look out, everybody, we've got us a Thanksgiving special! 😃 Can't wait to watch this later! I've got to pick up the food for my Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow in a few hours, so hopefully I'll be back home in time to catch the premiere! I hope everyone has a most wonderful and festive Thanksgiving tomorrow! Cheers, all! 😊
A friend who raises chickens says mean birds always take a pressure cooker 😂
🥧🥳🥧🥳🥧🥳🥧🥳🥧🥳🥧🥳🥧🥳
Happy Thanksgiving, Ron, Justine, & Mish-Mish.
We just had to put our fur-daughter Truffles down. She would have been 18 years this January 1st. Our hearts are very heavy. 😢
Then, my husband had to have emergency eye surgery for a detached retina. They just did the surgery today, thank God. My PTSD from a near death experience at a hospital doesn't help when I'm in a hospital setting.
Lastly, it's been 2 1/2 years since we've seen our son youngest son who is in the military. 🇺🇸
It has not been a good week. But, I'm really trying to stay positive it's hard.
But, our oldest daughter is making Thanksgiving dinner, hopefully my husband will be up to going. He knows his daughter is a very good cook, just like her momma 😊
I wish you ALL happiness and joy! 😊🙏❤️
Love, Military Mom 🇺🇸 ❤️ 🙏
Happy Thanksgiving! Y’all cracked me up tonight.🦃
I think it's because the heat was only on the bottom so it didn't cook evenly.
You guys are too funny! 😂 Nothing like some Frontier honesty, some good humor and a lovely setting. Love the post!😊
From a fellow Patriot
Happy Thanksgiving,! Everyone has a cooking failure at some point. My mom's gravy story - 1950 - was while she and my dad were dating, the first time she met his parents, they had fried chicken with all the trimmings, and during the meal, my mom was cleaning off the last of the meat off her bone and in the process flipped the bone into the gravy bowl. Also she told the story about taking the roasted bird out of the oven one time, and flipped the bird right out of the roaster and onto the floor. She grabbed it quick and plopped it back in the pan and never told the story until years later. I have had a fail or 2 (or more) over the years, but I don't tell those stories.
Uh-oh! You can't gobble the turkey if it's still gobbling itself! 😂
Looking forward to catching you on my work break later! Happy Thanksgiving from Australia!
When you consider that only 5 women survived the winter of 1620-21, you can imagine how much they had to work to put it all together!
I'm laughing hysterically!! You guys are hilarious!!
That turkey probably would've been perfect cooked in the big dutch oven over the fireplace.
“Please don’t let this bird kill me tonight” 😂🤣😂 I would bet that there are alot of “First Timers” in the Thanksgiving dinner cooks who have prayed that very same prayer!! God Bless and have a very blessed and happy holiday together! 🦃🇺🇸🦃🇺🇸🦃🇺🇸❤🙏
Don’t fret Chicka! We all have a Turkey fail. It’s how we learn.
You two are adorable.
McDonalds! LOL! You guys are so awesome! Thank you for sharing your holiday dinner with us!
Did you age the turkey after processing it? I age the ducks we raise for meat about 72 hours under ice.
I copied ( from Backyard Chickens) this for you it explains the reasoning pretty well. This is done to allow the natural enzymes and proteins in the meat to break down the fibrous materials. Without this process, the bird would be very tough! Most meat that you purchase has already had this process done to it or at least started. Beef is aged for 2 weeks for example.
You can also age the turkey in a brine mixture (salt + water) to really enhance the moisture and flavor once cooked. Turkey is a lean meat and really benefits from this process.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Roast in your oven and don't stuff it. Stuffing takes a couple hours longer. Basting is good. One problem with turkey is it dries out too fast. I used the cooking bags, but that wasn't available two hundred years ago.
Kitchen disasters happened even then. Love watching your channels! Happy Thanksgiving to you both!
Happy Thanksgiving Ron, Justine and all! 🦃🍁🍽️ Sorry about the Turkey fail! I love that Justine went from no cauldrons to double cauldrons in like two weeks yay, haha.
Happy Thanksgiving!! I think that is a nice tradition that you Americans have to be thankful for the past year. Much better than Black Friday😊
" please don't let this bird kill us" lol
Cooking turkey is a mind game like everything else. I promise! I make the turkey and ham every year regardless of who's doing the rest. I did it all for many years. This year I rinsed it well inside and out, dried it with paper towels, and rubbed it with salt inside and out. Then a mixture of melted butter and orange juice inside and out. I didn't even inject it this time. Sprinkled with cinnamon and inside a baking bag. 325 degrees for 15 minutes per lb. I leave the legs untressed. They will seperate from each other completely when it's done. I checked it only one time. My family said it was one of the better ones I'd ever made. Not labor intensive at all. Sometimes I think we ruin things by tending them to death! New subscriber!❤
They are so cute . I love history and the journey you are taking us along.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING JUSTINE and RON and MISH MISH ❣️🦃🦃
I love listening to history. My father was s historian and we had wonderful conversations about history.
Maybe the Turkey was tuff before you cooked it . He might have been around for a while. 😊
You deserve a lot of credit , Justine ! Not many people would have been brave enough to try to cook a turkey from a 200 + year old recipe !
Henry's revenge! You can stew any meat not quite done and make pot pie. (poor guy) 😪
What a fun video to watch! This is my first time here. I learned so much. Thank you 😊
Welcome to the family! :)
“Please Lord don’t let this turkey kill me” 😂😂
The two of you are PRICELESS! I just loved Justine's prayer regarding having "to raise this man"! Lol.... 💙💚
Oohh man cooking a turkey ...all I know is I cook mine upside down on 190 degrees at 9pm and its ready 12pm the next day on Thanksgiving. The missing potatoes had me laughing
You know how you put pairs of socks in the dryer, and one sock ALWAYS disappears? The missing mashed potatoes were sucked into the missing sock vortex.
Happy Thanksgiving you guys. Turkey isn't hard if, if, you have constant even temperature. Also i would have rotated the bird and not stuffed it. Stuffing it makes a turkey take longer to cook. Next time place it on a pan or rack inside your pot and and water to create steam. That will help get a good temperature to evenly cook your bird. The last hour or so scoop out the water to allow it to brown. I'm so sorry your turkey didnt turn out. Keep trying Justine. You'll get it and once you do it'll be so satisfying.
When all fails hit the drive thru!! Love it!! Everyone has fails every now and then, you did good! Happy Thanksgiving!
Cannot wait to watch after work. Happy Thanksgiving to you both. Sending ❤ your way.
Hearing your turkey story makes me never want to eat another turkey again. I guess it's for the best lol
The cabin looks so cozy and Fall. I love it.
Happy Thanksgiving
We had a farm fresh turkey 26 lbs. cooking guideline- 20 min per pound. So we put it in at 4am was done at 11am
So fun to learn how it’s was all done with our modern appliances
Thank you !
Hey Ron, Thank you for the reminder about the bag inside the bird. When I was young and first married…I did not know about the bag and I did exactly what you described. 😖 Somebody out there needed to hear this advice.
Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃
Wishing you and all your loved ones a blessed thanksgiving.
It could be that the turkey was older and the meat tougher, or that you didn't cook it with enough fat. I suspect it's partly that he was cooked in that large cauldron which left no means for moisture to be retained and sealed into the bird like you would if you roasted it in the oven with foil covering it. So that's probably not your fault because you were cooking it with authentic 18th century accoutrements and techniques. Here's how I prepped my turkey the other day and it turned out amazing. Night before: Remove all innards and empty cavity. I stuffed raw onions, whole garlic cloves and minced fresh garlic, olive oil and softened butter all around the inside along with spices (kosher salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, seasoned pepper, rosemary) into the cavity (rub inside of cavity with oil, butter and spices before putting onions etc.. in). Pat dry outside of bird to ensure skin is dry. Coat outside of bird with kosher salt and chopped fresh garlic. No oil or butter. Put bird in pan and let sit in fridge uncovered overnight. This ensures a nice crispy skin on the bird. Cooking day prep: Make herbed butter using above spices (I used two whole sticks of butter. Use a LOT. You will need it) and cut small slits into skin of bird on breasts, and legs. Run fingers underneath to loosen skin from meat and create pockets. Stuff herbed butter in and smooth all around to cover as much of the meat as possible. Rub olive oil, more herbed butter and above spices all over outside of bird. Tie up the legs to ensure the cavity stays stuffed and juicy etc... Roast in oven for about 13 minutes per pound. I had a 14 lb bird so mine stayed in for about 3.5 hours. Can also use thermometer to measure temp. Needs to be 165 in the breast. Roast in 325 degree oven covered and sealed on all sides in foil to hold in moisture. Check a few times to baste. Take off foil in last 15-20 minutes of roasting to crisp up and brown skin. Serve with curly parsley garnish to make presentable and pretty. Sorry it's so long. lol Brevity isn't possible when talking turkey! If you don't wanna waste the bird you can freeze it and use it for turkey tetrazzini etc... it was still a good-looking bird and had a nice crisp skin on the outside. You did well considering the cookware you used! I love both of your channels and I plan to make one of your beef recipes soon that I saw the other day. Happy Thanksgiving to both of you and Merry Christmas season soon!
Just now getting to this video. Am so glad I'm in the 21st Century and can cook a turkey in a modern oven, using a meat thermometer to test doneness. I'm a single mom now, so I only cook a turkey breast portion, not the entire bird (when my husband was alive, I'd cook an entire turkey). And it was tradition that after the turkey was cooked, my husband would cook the carcass down to make stock, then make a fantastic turkey vegetable soup using turkey meat, veggies (carrots, peas, onions and mushrooms) and dump a bag of egg noodles 10 min before it was done. He used a combination of 3 different soup receipts (to use Justine's terminology) to make his soup and I've never been able to replicate it since he died. 😪
OMG this is my first time watching this video and it made me laugh- I always watch all your other videos and came across this one
my moms rule was 20 minutes per pound of the bird at 350 ... happy thanksgiving to you all
You two actually did pardon a turkey this year! The gentle, nice, beloved Gilbert. (unlike the mean ole, very tough Henry)
My first Christmas in my own place, I invited my folks and my sisters over for supper. I had no idea I needed to thaw the turkey out in advance. I don't remember if we actually ate that night or not.
One commentor was partially correct, as the meat should rest after being plucked and gutted. Maybe not for 3 days but at least 4 to 6 hours in a brine solution. Then boil for an hour or so before roasting with an inch or two of the brining liquid in the bottom of the pot. The brine tenderizes the bird, the boiling cooks the bird throughout, and the brine in the pot seasons and keeps it from burning outside and raw inside. ALSO, 200 years ago the pilgrims were just happy to have something to eat, lol.
I thought they used to put the turkey on a rotating spicket in the fireplace and cooked it slow all day long. am I wrong? Happy Blessed Thanksgiving Ron and Justine . I enjoyed the video.
Happy thanksgiving 🦃🍁 to everyone 😊
😂😂 that's too funny about the "stuffing " . I wonder if the turkey was cooked at too high a temperature. Idk.
Well... I would be very concerned about a cat that could eat that much mashed potatoes! 🐱. Make sure to feed her well before going to sleep.
I know it was a heritage turkey, but the critter looked more like a quadraped to me, lying butt up on the platter like that....
Thanks for the best historical cooking on UA-cam!
Safe and happy holidays to you and yours.
This Thanksgiving…”” find some peace and quietness to enjoy a day of thanksgiving. This isn't about pilgrims, it about your life and the blessings we have all experienced. Even in the face of difficulties. Love to you all and I count you as some of my blessings.❤️❤️❤️ “
Ron worries about sitting on the toilet all night from turkey, but then wants Taco Bell!!!!! 😂
Bet that turkey will make a great stew or soup. Did they have hot turkey sandwiches back then? My favorite thing to make with left over turkey.
Can't wait. Happy Thanksgiving, Patriots!
Oh my goodness this episode was great. The story about the mean turkey, cooking it for 4 hours only to be still uncooked ….and the BEST part was the McD’s drive through. Love it!!! Happy Thanksgiving y’all. !!❤️🍁🦃
Without a doubt your best to date … hilarious! So Gilbert gets a reprieve and Henry bites the dust and sadly tastes like dust. If Madison had been successful in 1812 us Canadians would be having our Thanksgiving in November instead of when it should be, October. You guys are the best!
I am a avid cook hence my channel name. When turkey is not cooked fully, just slice the meat and simmer it in chicken broth or gravy, you may want to add a bit of water to thick gravy for a better simmer, 20 minutes or so , it should be tender and ready to eat :)
"Henry's Revenge" They'll never kill me! ....not completely anyway 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤣🤣🤣
This is the best episode of all time. Love you guys and I hope it didn’t kill you ❤❤
Happy Thanksgiving! Love your videos!!!
Fun video,, BUT 20 lb needs at least 6 hours with no cover,, VERY cool old pot,, thanks HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO BOTH OF YOU
Yall would have a FIELD DAY here in Charleston, SC and how history rich it is. It's my hometown and I am PROUD to call it my hometown. ❤
I would love to see a list of your favorite recipes ❤❤❤❤
You two are absolutely awesome. You're channel is great. Happy Thanksgiving and greetings from Paraguay Southamerica.
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Happy Thanksgiving Ron, Justine, and family!
Happy Thanksgiving, guys! Justine, the look on your face about the turkey is so funny! Don't feel bad, I couldn't cook a turkey even in the modern way! I'm thankful for you both and your wonderful channel! Thank the Lord for His provision!
This made me giggle so much 😂 Happy Thanksgiving, you two
i've been married over 50 years and most of the couples I know that are still together that long have a story about Thanksgiving turkey fail. In that time, an entire industry has emerged, eliminating most of the causes of such failure. The product, known generically as Butterball, has been injected with oil and equipped with a thermometer that, if paid attention to, eliminates dry tough turkey, over or under cooking. This bird looked like a wild tom, and to eat anything like a butterball would have needed added fat an moist, slow cooking. Given this bird's heritage, I suspect it was done close to 18th century standards and would have been prayed over and enjoyed with gusto, back then. Fun reenactment and nicely done video.
Happy Thanksgiving to you both 🦃
Thank you so much for all these videos you share with us
Happy Thanksgiving Ron and Justine! I'm so thankful I found your channel two years ago! Don't worry about the turkey - it looks like you guys had a good evening afterall ;)
Great show! Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍁
Happy Thanksgiving Ron and Justine!!🦃🦃🦃🦃🥐🥐🌽🌽
From the looks of the Turkey after having cooked for 4 hrs., it did not look raw as the skin had a lovely coloring from basting and the bird appeared to have gotten smaller being on the heat. Maybe the caldron was too large not allowing the heat to penetrate thru to the meat and bone of the stuffed bird. The seasoning and herbs were definitely a complement to the bird and the potatoes and something worth trying today but all being cooked throughly. Using a modern oven electric or gas a turkey isn't really any more difficult to roast than a large chicken but using a caldron would definitely take some experience. Maybe the use of a roasting stake over the flames with a constant turning as would have been done during the time of Henry VIII for one of his many grand feasts would be a consideration. Looking forward to your thoughts Frontier Patriots. Thank you.
Turkey pay back😂…happy thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!!!! Many blessings to all!!!
We love you, Ron & Justine!
