      I love how he does one ingredient at a time & not "rush" throughout the process. Here in the BLACKBELT is how this Chef is exemplifying his decades of " tasty " cuisine simpler than ever , even those who say they can't make it happen (cooking), often works out quite well.😂❤

      I agree. How a person puts it together and explains usually determines if I’m going to try the recipe. If the prep work and explanation is disjointed, cut with tangents, or not explained well….I don’t have the time or patience for that.

    We watched this video and everything looked so good! My wife completely changed the food that we have on Thanksgiving. The turkey was Awesome! This was the best and juiciest turkey I have ever had, No really, as I was curving the turkey turkey juice was all over my knife. The stuffing was so easy to make and absolutely delicious. No more stovetop stuffing in this house.
    Thank you so much for your video, these recipes will be handed down thru generations.
    Again Thank you for sharing your recipes with my family.

      #1. This traditional way of doing a turkey is labor intensive and time consuming. Thanks to Alton I figured out a super easy way to prep and roast my turkey without all the work!
      #2. Very good demonstration LA Times! Thanks for sharing.
      #3. My turkey comes out tender falling off the bone, super juicy and super flavorful!
      #4. Everyone is always impress at how I can get my turkey so flavorful and tender. They all want to know. It's now a family secret that I've all shared with only a few people.
      #5. And it's not labor intensive as the traditional method shown here.
      Growing up the turkey was always super dry! It made you want to cry! LOL The turkey is suppose to be the best part of Thanksgiving right? So when I became an adult I tried a dozen different methods until I came up with one I thought was perfect. I got rave reviews every Thanksgiving!
      #6 Then I saw Alton on Food Channel and his unusual prep method for his turkey blew my mind! I just had to try it!
      And wha-la! I have the best Thanksgiving turkey or for any poultry recipe, for that matter, in the world!
      Now I'm going to share my top secret with you!
      Not only is my turkey super flavorful, and juicy but the most important part is not labor intensive! No blood, sweat and tears here.

      THE PERFECT THANKSGIVING AWARD WINNING - NO FUSS TURKEY RECIPE😃🥰😁
      (Spend more time with family and not in the kitchen)
      DAY 1 THE NIGHT BEFORE
      #1. Let your turkey thaw out completely on the counter overnight in packaging. That's right! And this may seem scary for some of you as they say don't do this. I think that warning is just to scare folks. I've been doing this since the early 2000's now! Why do this? To seasoning the turkey deep on the inside.
      Possibly Day 3
      #2. When completely thawed out remove the packaging, pieces and gravy pack. Trim turkey as desired as he did in this video. Rinse the thawed out turkey under cold water. (Don't skip this step. Turkey need to be be thoroughly rinsed.) No need to pat dry.
      #3. Get out a large pot the turkey can be immersed in upright. If you don't have one then purchase one. If you don't want to purchase one Alton used and suggested a large bucket you can get at your home improvement center. Make sure you wash it out first.
      THE NIGHT BEFORE THANKSGIVING DAY
      #4. Put the turkey in the large pot/bucket and fill the pot with Swanson herb/chicken broth from the box. The can stuff has a metal taste. Get two or 3 boxes to cover turkey completely. Use a chicken herb seasoning blend with no salt and no garlic. (Too much salt will ruin the taste and garlic is strong. No strong herbs.) I only use Italian herb seasoning with no salt and sparingly.
      #5. Marinate/Soak turkey in broth overnight in the fridge. I think it goes without say but I'm going to say it anyway. Do not leave out! Put in fridge. Marinate in fridge overnight.
      THANKSGIVING MORNING
      #6. EARLY Thanksgiving morning take turkey out of broth. Do not rinse off! Place turkey in Reynold's oven bag on rack in roasting pan. Follow directions on using roasting bag. Place turkey in oven. Discard broth. And that's it. I guarantee you your turkey will fall off the bone. No cutting required! You'' have a perfect turkey every time and more guest than you anticipated. The whole neighborhood clamoring for a taste! LOL Enjoy!
      Now you know my top secret, you are sworn to secrecy! LOL😉

    Paula is the best!! She's so down to earth. I met her in person on a flight to Savannah, from Southern California. 😂 On the last leg of my flight from California to Savannah, I kept hearing a very distinct and familiar voice. I was certain i knew who it was, because her laugh was undeniable!!😂 I'm an original southen gal myself, born and raised. South knows south!! As I contemplated my assumption, as to who this pleasant southern voice belonged too, I still wasn't certain. As it turned out, when our plane landed, I was eager to see the face to the voice. Undeniable, I was in star struck mode!! The minute we all stood up, to retreive our carry ons above our heads, we both looked at each other at the exact same time. Yes!! She knew!! before my nerves, initiated my question, " are you Paula Dean"? She replied, with the most friendly and gracious " yes mame I am". We walked and talked like old friends, about what a fan I was and about her jewelry line, her youtube presence, and her Resteraunt in Savannah. I wanted to capture the incredible moment with a picture, and Paula in her graciousness, suggested taking a selfie. We took a selfie, and parted ways. My friend and I was in Savannah only for a three day visit, so we didn't get a chance to visit Paula's restaurant. However, we plan to return in the future. Paula is indeed, the "real deal" and still a big deal!! All the best Paula Dean!! Huge fan. Regina Ricard, Bay Point, CA 🌺🌺🌺🌺

    Great to see the basics from the beginning-just what a newbie needs. :)
    I don’t trim the skin, I let it melt to make extra gravy. Salt & pepper. Stuff with fresh herbs - parsley sage rosemary thyme. And 1/4 onion. + a stick of butter. That way the dripping are flavored an all I need to do is bring all this dripping and stock to a boil and stir in a slurry of potato starch and cold stock. Super easy. 🍗

You'' have a perfect turkey every time and more guest than you anticipated. The whole neighborhood clamoring for a taste! LOL Enjoy!
      Now you know my top secret, you are sworn to secrecy! LOL😉

    We make cornbread dressing its a mixture of half cornbread and half toasted french bread.
    We use chicken stock. Everything else is the same. I do use more broth so dressing is more moist. Make sure your cornbread doesn’t have sugar. Don’t use Jiffy cornbread mix.
    Use a cornmeal mix.

      #1. This traditional way of doing a turkey is labor intensive and time consuming. Thanks to Alton I figured out a super easy way to prep and roast my turkey without all the work!
      #2. Very good demonstration LA Times! Thanks for sharing.
      #3. My turkey comes out tender falling off the bone, super juicy and super flavorful!
      #4. Everyone is always impress at how I can get my turkey so flavorful and tender. They all want to know. It's now a family secret that I've all shared with only a few people.
      #5. And it's not labor intensive as the traditional method shown here.
      Growing up the turkey was always super dry! It made you want to cry! LOL The turkey is suppose to be the best part of Thanksgiving right? So when I became an adult I tried a dozen different methods until I came up with one I thought was perfect. I got rave reviews every Thanksgiving!
      #6 Then I saw Alton on Food Channel and his unusual prep method for his turkey blew my mind! I just had to try it!
      And wha-la! I have the best Thanksgiving turkey or for any poultry recipe, for that matter, in the world!
      Now I'm going to share my top secret with you!
      Not only is my turkey super flavorful, and juicy but the most important part is not labor intensive! No blood, sweat and tears here.

      THE PERFECT THANKSGIVING AWARD WINNING - NO FUSS TURKEY RECIPE😃🥰😁
      (Spend more time with family and not in the kitchen)
      DAY 1 THE NIGHT BEFORE
      #1. Let your turkey thaw out completely on the counter overnight in packaging. That's right! And this may seem scary for some of you as they say don't do this. I think that warning is just to scare folks. I've been doing this since the early 2000's now! Why do this? To seasoning the turkey deep on the inside.
      Possibly Day 3
      #2. When completely thawed out remove the packaging, pieces and gravy pack. Trim turkey as desired as he did in this video. Rinse the thawed out turkey under cold water. (Don't skip this step. Turkey need to be be thoroughly rinsed.) No need to pat dry.
      #3. Get out a large pot the turkey can be immersed in upright. If you don't have one then purchase one. If you don't want to purchase one Alton used and suggested a large bucket you can get at your home improvement center. Make sure you wash it out first.
      THE NIGHT BEFORE THANKSGIVING DAY
      #4. Put the turkey in the large pot/bucket and fill the pot with Swanson herb/chicken broth from the box. The can stuff has a metal taste. Get two or 3 boxes to cover turkey completely. Use a chicken herb seasoning blend with no salt and no garlic. (Too much salt will ruin the taste and garlic is strong. No strong herbs.) I only use Italian herb seasoning with no salt and sparingly.
      #5. Marinate/Soak turkey in broth overnight in the fridge. I think it goes without say but I'm going to say it anyway. Do not leave out! Put in fridge. Marinate in fridge overnight.
      THANKSGIVING MORNING
      #6. EARLY Thanksgiving morning take turkey out of broth. Do not rinse off! Place turkey in Reynold's oven bag on rack in roasting pan. Follow directions on using roasting bag.

    I bone my turkey, marinate the entire bird for 48 hours. Then make the dressing, smash it into the open caucus, sew it up. Looks like a duck, but when it’s cooked, slicing is a breeze, each piece is wrapped around the dressing. Lovely presentation and the taste is amazing. Worth the work, usually I have a few on lookers sipping wine as I prep.

You'' have a perfect turkey every time and more guest than you anticipated. The whole neighborhood clamoring for a taste! LOL Enjoy!
      Now you know my top secret, you are sworn to secrecy! LOL😉

    I also make my stuffing the way my Mummy used to make it. Cooked and chopped gizzard, liver, onions. Cooked boiled eggs, S&P, worcestershire sauce, cooked chopped potatoes. I also add l pkg of stuffing mix with sage. Melted butter. Very tasty and moist.

    If I only had to peel 3 pounds of potatoes I’d think I’d died and gone to heaven. My son loves potatoes and mash potatoes in particular. I peel at least ten pounds of large russet potatoes. And because he is 99% vegan, more than half are getting vegan butter, and the rest get lots of butter and milk or heavy cream. We hope to have leftovers to enjoy the next day, I like my leftover potatoes smothered in giblet gravy. Yum. I’m really enjoying this video. I’m back in Texas but lived in So Cal for 27 years. I have a lot of recipes from the LA Times….. Happy Thanksgiving!

    I also cook the gizzards, livers, neck with onions, celery and any spices you like to make your own stock for the gravy. I also use the juice to put in the stuffing. I don't like big stuffing. I use more smaller pieces of bread.

    You can also add dried cranberries -- soak them in warm water so they plump up -- about a cups worth --- adds a festive element -- oh! and make the stuffing the night before and let all of the elements merge overnight in the fridge! Happy Thanksgiving!

    I use a deep roasting pan with a rack lined with parchment paper. Easy clean up. Cook the neck, heart, gizzard and liver, bay leaf
    Use the broth for the gravy.

    • @ericeandco
      @ericeandco Рік тому

      Or if you don’t have an expensive roasting pan buy a disposable Turkey pan at your dollar store. Just make sure you put a baking sheet under it for support. Lining it with foil to protect against leaks or spills isn’t a bad idea either.

      #1. This traditional way of doing a turkey is labor intensive and time consuming. Thanks to Alton I figured out a super easy way to prep and roast my turkey without all the work!
      #2. Very good demonstration LA Times! Thanks for sharing.
      #3. My turkey comes out tender falling off the bone, super juicy and super flavorful!
      #4. Everyone is always impress at how I can get my turkey so flavorful and tender. They all want to know. It's now a family secret that I've all shared with only a few people.
      #5. And it's not labor intensive as the traditional method shown here.
      Growing up the turkey was always super dry! It made you want to cry! LOL The turkey is suppose to be the best part of Thanksgiving right? So when I became an adult I tried a dozen different methods until I came up with one I thought was perfect. I got rave reviews every Thanksgiving!
      #6 Then I saw Alton on Food Channel and his unusual prep method for his turkey blew my mind! I just had to try it!
      And wha-la! I have the best Thanksgiving turkey or for any poultry recipe, for that matter, in the world!
      Now I'm going to share my top secret with you!
      Not only is my turkey super flavorful, and juicy but the most important part is not labor intensive! No blood, sweat and tears here.

      THE PERFECT THANKSGIVING AWARD WINNING - NO FUSS TURKEY RECIPE😃🥰😁
      (Spend more time with family and not in the kitchen)
      DAY 1 THE NIGHT BEFORE
      #1. Let your turkey thaw out completely on the counter overnight in packaging. That's right! And this may seem scary for some of you as they say don't do this. I think that warning is just to scare folks. I've been doing this since the early 2000's now! Why do this? To seasoning the turkey deep on the inside.
      Possibly Day 3
      #2. When completely thawed out remove the packaging, pieces and gravy pack. Trim turkey as desired as he did in this video. Rinse the thawed out turkey under cold water. (Don't skip this step. Turkey need to be be thoroughly rinsed.) No need to pat dry.
      #3. Get out a large pot the turkey can be immersed in upright. If you don't have one then purchase one. If you don't want to purchase one Alton used and suggested a large bucket you can get at your home improvement center. Make sure you wash it out first.
      THE NIGHT BEFORE THANKSGIVING DAY
      #4. Put the turkey in the large pot/bucket and fill the pot with Swanson herb/chicken broth from the box. The can stuff has a metal taste. Get two or 3 boxes to cover turkey completely. Use a chicken herb seasoning blend with no salt and no garlic. (Too much salt will ruin the taste and garlic is strong. No strong herbs.) I only use Italian herb seasoning with no salt and sparingly.
      #5. Marinate/Soak turkey in broth overnight in the fridge. I think it goes without say but I'm going to say it anyway. Do not leave out! Put in fridge. Marinate in fridge overnight.
      THANKSGIVING MORNING
      #6. EARLY Thanksgiving morning take turkey out of broth. Do not rinse off! Place turkey in Reynold's oven bag on rack in roasting pan. Follow directions on using roasting bag. Place turkey in oven. Discard broth. And that's it. I guarantee you your turkey will fall off the bone. No cutting required! You'' have a perfect turkey every time and more guest than you anticipated. The whole neighborhood clamoring for a taste! LOL Enjoy!

    My stuffing is cornbread, sage, red apple, cooked wild rice, walnuts or pecans, broth, celery, onions, garlic, & chives. Put into bird & extra pan for munching on with all the vegie left overs. That's my favorite part of Thanksgiving, turkey only good for skin & stuffing. Tho my husband likes it.

    • @mbbrown721

      No one mentioned the unwashed turkey- so they (seasoned cooks) probably don’t rinse their turkey. New Cooks if they follow your recipe will not wash their turkey because they will follow you from beginning to end.
