"I'm just not used to handling this amount of raw meat" And you were worried about the giblets being inappropriate for UA-cam 😂 Koda sure is excitable at dinnertime. Loved your very cool in-fridge camera work. Looks like it all turned out a treat. Well done. Thanks for sharing your Thanksgiving Day in this great video Nattie 💛
I am glad you found the bag . I was screaming at the screen saying" It's in the other side!!!!!! Our first Turkey was cooked with the bag in the bird. It was not a pretty smell in our kitchen!!!!
IIRC dark brown sugar contains 2x the molasses that light brown sugar does, so you can substitute 1/2 cup of light brown sugar with 1/4 cup dark brown sugar and 1/4 cup white sugar. It probably wouldn't have made much of a difference in your brine though. An extra teaspoon of molasses in an ocean of brine is basically a rounding error. :) Love the fridge camera, Alton would be proud! I have used Alton's brine recipe before and I must say your turkey preparation looks exactly like how I did it years ago. I started making a different brine, because I thought the candied ginger addition in Alton's recipe was strange and unnecessary. It's hard to stay well practiced with turkey roasting, but you did a really good job! I started making stuffing last year and it's my favorite Thanksgiving side to cook now. My favorite Thanksgiving food to eat is pumpkin pie, but none of my other folks like it 😞
I'm not a fan of turkey, I'm a beef guy, but this last Thanksgiving my niece's father-in-law smoked the turkey for us and It was delicious. My favorite Thanksgiving meal was one year when there were only 6 of us (compared to the usual 25+) instead of turkey we had prime rib.
My ex wife's mother once brought home a duck from the market. The only preparation to it was that it had been plucked. The head and feet were still on it and it hadn't been gutted. I ended up having to prepare and cook the whole thing. I'm so glad I'm a vegetarian now and don't have deal with such grossness.
The turkey and the whole table looked beautiful, and your house looked warm and welcoming. I'm sure everyone had a great time. I was also nervous the first time I cooked a turkey, but it all works out in the end, no matter how many years in a row you forget the cranberry jelly. Of course you're doubly nervous because you are serving a mob, and then comes the clean-up, and the exhaustion, but at the end is this great sense of accomplishment and joy at having made your guests happy. The best thing about it is that that great feeling at the end is exactly the same no matter how many times you cook that damn bird. ....................... Now, I've got a great recipe for leftover turkey soup!
I don't know all the details for the other countries, but I think most countries have a Thanksgiving celebration day, though obviously not based on the pilgrims and native Americans. Just a general celebrating day of giving thanks, some still connected to a certain historic event.
Been using his recipe for years, but I have altered it at this point. It is still the same but I brine longer and don't use the ice water, and I use my fridge. I also use the cranberry sauce, but have combined his and Gordon’s versions.
10:40 glad your not the only one who realises how dirty a sink is. I constantly catch my mum washing some food in the sink, even in the washing up bowl, and the sink is just covered in slimy yuck from having dirty dishes in it and not being cleaned. and yet she always tells me about food hygiene. i think i'm the only one who takes the bowl out, cleans it, then gives the actual sink a scrub with hot water and soap before washing something in it.
This was an awesome video Nat! I think the silly lighting and camera angles really added to the fun of it! It's just nice to see someone working hard to make something good for the people they care about. I hope your Thanksgiving was full of love and laughs! Favorite holiday treat? Probably my mom's hot, spiced, fruit punch, it smells like Christmas ☺️ My favorite to make has to be Buttermilk Pie or Pecan Pie, I like baking, like you!
Longtime Fan from Vancouver BC Normally watch your other channel, but glad I checked this one. Great job Natalie Love the smile on your face when you snapped the rubber glove. It's cool to see you in a different environment and a fun dance sequence thrown in for good measure. Never thought I'd see you cook a turkey. I can fix on a car but I don't trust myself to cook a turkey. My favor Thanksgiving food is good old fashioned stuffing. I hate it when someone messes things up by making a healthier version. It always tastes bland. Eating healthy is good but not at Thanksgiving. That turkey looked delicious. Also Koda is adorable
I love the description of your kitchen. Pretty sure I've seen that on Zillow. "This charming 3-bedroom, 2 and a half bath bungalow features high ceilings, a spacious back yard, and a dark, weird, hot mess of a kitchen."
You did a great job Natalie! I was waiting for you to find the bag of giblets in the other end though 😂 Sam the Cooking Guy on UA-cam, really recommend his channel and I don't cook, had a good Thanksgiving video a couple weeks ago and he had good tips on how to clean the bird (which is how I knew about the giblets) and an interesting method for cooking the turkey evenly so it stays moist and doesn't dry out. The stuff he does is always interesting and entertaining. I love Alton Brown too though.
i've gotten very into making a good gravy whenever i cook now. you gotta use the neck and the giblets, and the drippings from the turkey. A lot easier if you have a pressure pot, then you can butcher the turkey before hand, remove all the bones, and separate the white and dark meat since they cook at different rates anyway. make a roux from the fat from the drippings, make a nice thick white gravy. Takes the whole meal up a notch. Though i think the gravy ends up being like 1000 calories per spoonful :D
6:32 - "I'm not used to handling this amount of raw meat." #ThatsWhatSheSaid #SadTyler 11:42 - the bag is usually sealed. Hell, some people accidentally bake the turkey with that bag in there. No worries.
This was a fun video, more like this please! I make a corn casserole by Paula Dean for the holidays. It's really good and super easy! I love all the sides for Thanksgiving!
When Natalie said this was her first time cooking a turkey, I was wondering if we were going to get a 3 stooges moment, and we did when she sprayed herself with water. So funny.
My mom roasted the bag one year and it didn't do anything, so I am hyper aware of the bag when I cook. It's brought up every time she cooks a turkey, so she has never been able to outlive that story.
Tyler Sighting! What the heck is he doing shaking that!? "Tyler is making mashed potatoes behind me." Okay, that didn't help. I've never seen anyone "bruise" their potatoes before.
Did you find that candied ginger in the baking aisle of your grocery store, or elsewhere? I'm just wondering where to find it, because I want to try a Martha Stewart "molasses-ginger crisp" cookies recipe for the holidays and it calls for candied ginger (along with 2 other kinds of ginger, lol). I've actually never gotten candied ginger before! :)
I give you big kudos! I have never made a whole turkey before. Usually it's my mom doing all that part of work, and we chip in to help with the sides or dessert. So I salute you for giving it a go. Maybe someday I'll be brave enough to try it too. (P.S. I think the lack of "gorgeous open kitchen counter space like cooking UA-camrs have" actually makes this project seem more attainable. You have smaller space like I do, lol.)
Natalie, did you know that Harry Potter is celebrating 20 years right now? Maybe next year when everything settles down, could you react to Chamber of Secrets with Lila? Did I spell her name right? Please don't curse me if I did. Loved the vlog. I was stressed with you the whole time because I only know how to cook things in the microwave LOL!! I've been watching you since your Star Wars: A New Hope reaction.
That bird looks sooo good!!! Job well done Natalie! I would happily bring some pumpkin pie over to next thanksgiving if you feel like having a fan over :P
I'm 32 and watching this i'm like, "wow she's so good at adulting" Nicely done, weird fkg recipe but you got a bunch of people fed and that's always impressive
What's cookin', good lookin'? i bet that tastes(d) fabulous. I'm a big turkey fan, and the few times I've done one myself,, it turned out pretty well. i should experiment around with it a bit sometimes, though. Never considered apple & cinnamon!
"Holiday dishes" Mexico doesn't have a Thanksgiving Day. The Spaniards... let's say that they didn't exactly share the table with native cultures once they arrived here XD. So, after Halloween and Day of the Dead there is not another holiday until December 12th (which has no special dishes) and Christmas. December 12th is not exactly an official holiday, it's the day where people here celebrate Virgin Mary in its "Guadalupe Virgin" form (I was too lazy to actually look for the accurate catholic church description, so I decided to let it sound as if I was talking of a Pokemon concept XD). Long story short: the story says Virgin Mary appeared to a native man with a darker skin tone than the average representation shows. After some miracles, the native man convinced the local church authorities all the thing was real and a temple was built in her honor. Back here, traditionally, we say Christmas celebrations start that day and extend all the way to January 6th of the follwoing year in what's known as the "Guadalupe-Magi Marathon". You would say... but nothing happens between December 12th, December 24th, January 1st and January 6th. But not here XD! Because nine days before Christmas (if you like and dare) "Posadas" are celebrated: little traditional recreations of Joseph and Mary asking for refuge in Bethlehem on Christmas Day: families gather or people gather at church, one group gets out and the group inside closes the doors... and then both groups sing a set of traditional questions and answers (obviously, the group outside represent "the peregrines" Joseph and Mary, seeking for refuge for the birth of their son); once all the questions and answers are done, the doors open, the "peregrines" enter (using another song) and then children (and not so children) get to destroy the piñata: a paper or clay container shaped in different forms that has candy and some fruits in it. It could be very well a Squid Game show: one person at a time has to try to hit the piñata and break it with a stick (if you want to get the participant in more trouble you can blindfold him/her and make him/her dizzy turning him around several times... but I should warn you: your personal safety and the integrity of windows and fragile objects will not be guaranteed). Once the piñata is broken, the candies and fruits fall on the floor... but the winner of the contents is not the one who broke the container: once it is broken it's fair game for everyone who picks things first; Relationships and loyalties disappear at that point :P. And later you can have a small special dinner or snacks for the guests and the posada is done (and then you repeat everything, all over again, the next day until X-Mas). And then on January 6th kids traditionally get another round of toys as surprise gifts in representation of the gifts Christ got from the Magi... yeah, many things still work based on religion around here. For the Marathon (were you can have as many parties and season dinners almost every day or every week, if your body can cope with it) the traditional dishes would be pozole, "romeritos" (a type of seepweed with mole and potatoes), a dish with cod that... I think it has no special name (at least here, but it's prepared almost everywhere), some pasta as first dish, perhaps some turkey or chicken (in different forms, but not stuffed as in Thanksgiving) and punch as traditional drink, along with beer. And maybe salty, sweet or even spicy "tamales" (corn mass, alone or flavored, sometimes mixed with some protein and/or vegetables, cooked inside corn or banana leafs). Whew... I guess I'll leave it there. "Cooking in a stove, with tools" While it's a skill that's needed for survival, specially when you live alone; a long time ago I just decided I'm not fit to cooking in a stove or with fire. That revelation came to me in high school, not cooking but in chemistry lab: once my team ended up exploding a mixture and we had some acidic chemical dripping from the roof... how we got the liquid reach that high I will never know (in loving memory of the jacked I had that day, it took some drips of acid before we noticed the roof was wet). "Kosher salt" Natalie's unwilling incursion into the world of coocking ASMR. "Star Wars cooking tools" Those look great XD. You should have added in your best James Earl Jones impersonation: "You don't know the cooking power of the Dark Side". 5:14 - "Oh... you're recording... I'm outta here". "I'm not used to this amount of raw meat/Is this ok for UA-cam?" Yup, the wonders of cooking and all the related phrases that can be taken out of context XD. "Accidental spray" While it's not part of your brand, that's why you need an apron... or a lab coat (if I decided to finally use the kitchen as it was meant to be used, my first attempts would be with the lab coat :P). In any case, it can optionally say "Stay Golden" even if it's not merch. "The warm turkey incident" - It's alive! We've seen enough zombie films to know where that could lead to. 17:00 - Coda's like: "But I smell there is more! I want more!" XD. And that would be it, nice video and Happy Thanksgiving (a couple of weeks later). If anyone is curious, this is how "asking for Posada" looks like (I picked the first video that was not overly religious): ua-cam.com/video/7vH4Sv81cso/v-deo.html But, if you don't mind a bit of religious speech, and maybe some untranslated content: 1) ua-cam.com/video/cCEOVPcIW1I/v-deo.html 2) ua-cam.com/video/bHUXsyNSQ84/v-deo.html 3) ua-cam.com/video/x-V3AZ1lJSw/v-deo.html
@@silver9wolf6 do it for a not Thanksgiving holiday as a way to experiment. BTW, the best side effect of this is that you can use the spine to help make turkey stock as a base for your gravy.
Damn everything looks so good! For a noob, you did awesome. Thanksgiving dinner can be intimidating af imo. Thank Dog you found the bag of giblets before throwing it in the oven. 😂
5min04sec Pet: in don't following! 5min13sec Fiance: ops...I will not intrude here. 6min10sec turkey 1 x 0 Naty. 6min41 I this is like childbirth! 7min35 do you americans realy import glacial ice? 8min04sec keep your helper close! 18min00sec SUCESS ! 😊👏👏👏
While I've been watching your reaction videos for awhile, this is the 1st time I've seen this channel. Great job on the turkey, everything looked great. But the reason I'm commenting is that you clear your hands like a blackjack dealer to show your dog that you don't have anything else. I thought it was just me.
This is a bit weird and disturbing but maybe only because i never had turkey and i am from germany and not from the US. 🤔 "is this ok for youtube?" 👀😁 Funny and interesting video! 👌
HEY hey natalie :]]] have u ever considered spiderman ps4 as a playthrough ? i know ur probably tired of marvel lol, but its not connected to the mcu, and *genuinely* such an emotional intense game, its seriously amazing, and not all that difficult which makes enjoying the story rlly easy imo x3 its a great game and id love to see a playthrough sometime from you !! thank u so much for everything u do 🥰🥰🥰
HAHAHAHA. so used to you being seated that i didnt realise how short you are. No judgement. but the nickname i have in my head for you is now diddy gold.
The main story arc was interesting, as was the overall story and character development. But I was disappointed with the special effects. Looking forward to the sequel. 😏
Great video. However, you do know you aren't supposed to feed dogs thanksgiving turkey. Plain cooked turkey is fine but when you add all the butter, oil, herbs and spices, it can cause digestive problems
This really is taking "grab a snack, grab a drink" to the next level.
"I'm just not used to handling this amount of raw meat" And you were worried about the giblets being inappropriate for UA-cam 😂 Koda sure is excitable at dinnertime. Loved your very cool
in-fridge camera work. Looks like it all turned out a treat. Well done. Thanks for sharing your Thanksgiving Day in this great video Nattie 💛
Cooking with Gold is back! It was so much fun watching you attempt a pie back then :D
I am glad you found the bag . I was screaming at the screen saying" It's in the other side!!!!!! Our first Turkey was cooked with the bag in the bird. It was not a pretty smell in our kitchen!!!!
Haha oh no!! So glad I found it eventually. That would’ve been rough 😅
As much as I enjoy the reaction videos this one is now one of my favorites. You did a great job and the food is always better with friends!

Maple baked ham for Christmas has become my favourite holiday food to make! And to eat… truely divine

It's cool to see you in a different environment and a fun dance sequence thrown in for good measure.
Never thought I'd see you cook a turkey. I can fix on a car but I don't trust myself to cook a turkey.

It always tastes bland.

I too use A.B's turkey brine recipe!
Favourite thing to eat pizza just..like who doesnt enjoy that favourite thing to cook burritos wraps are pretty tatsy and easy to make so prbly that

i think they only celebrate it in the US and Canada. Makes sense too, we in Europe never dined with natives. We are the natives.

"Cooking in a stove, with tools"
While it's a skill that's needed for survival, specially when you live alone; a long time ago I just decided I'm not fit to cooking in a stove or with fire. That revelation came to me in high school, not cooking but in chemistry lab: once my team ended up exploding a mixture and we had some acidic chemical dripping from the roof... how we got the liquid reach that high I will never know (in loving memory of the jacked I had that day, it took some drips of acid before we noticed the roof was wet).

"I'm not used to this amount of raw meat/Is this ok for UA-cam?"
Yup, the wonders of cooking and all the related phrases that can be taken out of context XD.
"Accidental spray"
While it's not part of your brand, that's why you need an apron... or a lab coat (if I decided to finally use the kitchen as it was meant to be used, my first attempts would be with the lab coat :P). In any case, it can optionally say "Stay Golden" even if it's not merch.

If anyone is curious, this is how "asking for Posada" looks like (I picked the first video that was not overly religious): ua-cam.com/video/7vH4Sv81cso/v-deo.html
But, if you don't mind a bit of religious speech, and maybe some untranslated content:

Great job! Next year try a spatchcock turkey.
Did you watch Food Theory too? :P
@@silver9wolf6 lol. Nah. Maybe? Been doing my turkey that way for years. I did it once and my son said I wasn't allowed to do it any other way.

Haha, I'll have to try it that way sometime! Haven't been in charge of cooking for Thanksgiving yet :P
@@silver9wolf6 do it for a not Thanksgiving holiday as a way to experiment. BTW, the best side effect of this is that you can use the spine to help make turkey stock as a base for your gravy.
Omg!!! Koda 🥺🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤣
holidays= loads of biriyani for us
I'm just here for the Mighty Boosh references.
Whenever I bake any kind of meat, I always seal the meat in a container (or foil) so that the juice remains in the meat, but that's just me.
Why are Turkeys so difficult to cook?
As a German, I don't have a fucking idea what the hell is going on in that kitchen...
Looks great but I am a little disappointed you didn't make home-made ice and went for store bought.
Hmm, Koda, the dog that got confused with the ball and One cup couldn't figure out there was no more turkey in your hand...that tracks lol
My first attempt was a complete disaster it was drier than the senora desert.😝
Very good video 👍 Cooking
Damn everything looks so good! For a noob, you did awesome. Thanksgiving dinner can be intimidating af imo. Thank Dog you found the bag of giblets before throwing it in the oven. 😂
This is cool and a whole country tradition and all..BUT alot of work just to eat lol
Looks like it turned out amazing! But holy crap, that's a lot of work, lol

It's the GET BACK (Beatles documentary) of turkey roasting videos. :)
I dont know any other country that have thanks giving, at least not in south america, seems like its only in north america really (except mexico lol)
While I've been watching your reaction videos for awhile, this is the 1st time I've seen this channel. Great job on the turkey, everything looked great.
But the reason I'm commenting is that you clear your hands like a blackjack dealer to show your dog that you don't have anything else. I thought it was just me.
So can you give the full recipe below please. also your fiancee is super cute
wait, I thought the lower half of your body was a chair...
You forgot to say "it's your gurl NattieGold" and the title needs "You won't believe what happens at the end!".
This is a bit weird and disturbing but maybe only because i never had turkey and i am from germany and not from the US. 🤔
"is this ok for youtube?" 👀😁
Funny and interesting video! 👌
girl.... are you wearing JMU shorts???? did you go to JMU??
HEY hey natalie :]]] have u ever considered spiderman ps4 as a playthrough ? i know ur probably tired of marvel lol, but its not connected to the mcu, and *genuinely* such an emotional intense game, its seriously amazing, and not all that difficult which makes enjoying the story rlly easy imo x3 its a great game and id love to see a playthrough sometime from you !! thank u so much for everything u do 🥰🥰🥰
HAHAHAHA. so used to you being seated that i didnt realise how short you are. No judgement. but the nickname i have in my head for you is now diddy gold.
Next year: Deep fried turkey!!!
umm should be using a dry measuring cup there is a difference lol j/s
The main story arc was interesting, as was the overall story and character development. But I was disappointed with the special effects. Looking forward to the sequel. 😏
had a roommate once that roasted a turkey with the bag of giblets in it oh man it was not good!! the smell was god awful!!
It's a Awesome Video 👍👍✌️✌️
Great idea for a video 👍
I think we need to know how the mashed potatoes went down as well…
👍👍👍👍
Did Koda just do a breakdancing move?
Natalie, I dare you to watch Thankskilling and Thankskilling 3! I know the day has passed, but still!
same better with sides
Great video. However, you do know you aren't supposed to feed dogs thanksgiving turkey. Plain cooked turkey is fine but when you add all the butter, oil, herbs and spices, it can cause digestive problems
