    I did this recipe today and it was a massive success. I’ve never managed to cook turkey properly normally. It always seemed rubbery and some parts not cooked as well as others. With this technique, i managed to prep ahead and it was a real treat. Thanks a lot to the good people at Fallow.

    I would just like to say that I love this channel.
    I'm a home cook, who other than some cooking with Grandma, and some culinary classes in high school, is self taught with the aid of UA-cam.
    I've been watching this channels videos for quite a while. From POVs to recipe/cooking videos, I enjoy everything, and learn a lot.
    I've been complimented by friends, family, and my partner for being a good cook, which I really appreciate, but I feel like what I've learned from this channel has really bumped up the quality and flavour of food I've been making.
    My parents and partners parents bkyh ask me to cook this year, sotried this recipe for two separate nights. It was amazing. Straight up the best turkey we've ever had. The skin was crispy, the meat was jucy, tons of flavour, and the sauce was incredible.
    Feeding almost 40 people was a hard task, but everyone absolutely loved the food.
    Thank you for the amazing videos, and for helping me become a better cook.

    Found your channel a while back and been enjoying what you guys share and teach - everything can be done by a home cook and it's easy to follow with explanations of why you do stuff so folks can actually learn instead of just memorizing a recipe.
    I used to try other methods of cooking turkey and moved to sous vide for several years, but more recently switched to this method (although wrapping/stuffing the dark meat is something I've never done before and sounds like I need to remedy that). While sous vide is super tender and juicy, the flavor and texture from breaking down the bird is amazing and quick, and the added benefit is the gravy is super simple and so flavorful with the back + wingtips.

    Try stuffing the legs with boudin and glazing with Steen’s Cane Syrup. Outstanding. FYI, dry brining with salt, pepper and rubbed sage overnight in the fridge and roasting @ 400 F till breast hits 145 F then resting 30 minutes was best breast meat I’ve ever had. Carried over right to 160 F.

  • @jdupre7877
    @jdupre7877 5 місяців тому

    You kept saying it, but was the skin really still crispy after tenting it during the resting period? I tend not to do that so it doesn't sit there and steam and lose that crispiness. I have never done this before, but I recall seeing someone remove all of the skin then shallow fry it so you can get it even more crispier 100% of the time then serve it next to the bird. Anyways, thanks for the video. I have learned some great technique here.

    @mhartan 5 місяців тому +2

    Dividing up the turkey is cheating. The BEST way to have the white meat and dark meat come to the right doneness simutltaneously with a WHOLE BIRD is to bag the bird before cooking and lay the breast side down on to a large bags or bags of ice for about 45-45 minutes depending on the size of the turkey. By oven time, the breast is quite cold and the dark meat is still room temperature. At the conclusion of the cooking process, both dark and white meat will be done and not overdone. It's worked every time for me, even without brining.
