I made this last year for thanksgiving for my family when I JUST moved into my house. I’ve never really cooked anything before and my family laughed and made jokes about how I was gonna pull off cooking a Turkey with me never cooking before. My family is full of wonderful cooks and they’re known for their cooking. I did my best to copy EVERYTHING exactly as he explained. I woke up early and worked so hard to make sure this was perfect and I watched intently on everyone’s first bite and they all looked at me with huge eyes saying “HOW?!?!” They said it was the best Turkey and gravy they’ve ever had and nothing will ever compare They wanted me to host thanksgiving from now on! They just asked me this week if I was going to be hosting this year again so they can have that gravy and Turkey again and I said absolutely!!! Thank you Gordon Ramsay! The approval from my family meant EVERYTHING to me! 😭
Because this is taken from a video intended for Christmas. In England, Turkey is the customary thing to be served on Christmas since they don't celebrate Thanksgiving.
I made this turkey last thanksgiving for my terminally ill mother. She was so grateful for it. Said it was the most delicious turkey she ever had. She passed away 4 months ago. I’m making it again this year and her ashes are going to sit next to the table.
Prayers for you and your family and mother, this is the way I will make my Turkey for years to come. Last year after letting the bird rest for 2 hours, I took off the breast meat and discovered about 10% of the meat was still on the pink side, so I took both sides of the breast and the leg and thigh and put back in the oven skin side down at 350° for 25 more minutes and it came out awesome, big save.
We're only human, my mother made fudge for me on her last Christmas, I never received it, I can make excuses about not being there to receive it because of work or my bills but that will not make a difference, cherish what you have it's not for forever, I showed up to late, I gave comfort but, I still have regrets, sorry for your loss
Ok...hear me out. I love to cook, but last Thanksgiving was the first year my family trusted me to make the turkey. Thanksgiving fell on my mother-in-law's birthday so it was a present of sorts that she didn't have to do the cooking (graciously offered by my wife of course, LOL). I was slightly panicked because my first turkey was going to be a pretty large 22lb bird. I watched video after video thinking I have no clue what I want to do, but knowing that I really wanted to wow her. After so many different UA-cam "cooks" I found this gem by Chef Ramsey. I made copious notes with a timeline and everything. When I showed up with this glistening brown beauty and the homemade gravy in tow they were all in shock. I just found out I'm cooking the turkey again this year, but this time for my parents and my 102-year-old Polish grandmother who I got my love of cooking from in the first place. Thanks Gordon!
The gentleman, Mr Ramsey did a real good job showing how it's done, and so did you Mrs/Sir, he was saying, how it's done, and you texted how it's done, very well explained by the both of you'll

Turkey Recipe: Turkey cooks at 30 minutes per kilo, basting every so often. (1 Kilo = 2.2 Pounds) The butter mix: 375 g of butter (1 2/3 cups) room temp A touch of Salt and Pepper 1 tablespoon of olive oil Zest of two lemons and the juice 3 garlic cloves finely chopped Handful of Parsley chopped Inside Turkey: Season with salt and pepper Add two halved onions and one lemon Two bay leaves Cooking Instructions: Turkey cooks at 220C (430F) for 10 to 15 minutes to get really nice and brown. Then take turkey out of oven and baste with pan juices. Reduce temperature of oven to 180C (360F). Here is where Ramsay adds the bacon about half way to cook on top of Turkey (Ramsay puts bacon on when he takes it out to cook at lower temp, after basting. I do it half way through so it doesn't burn). Put turkey back in over at the lower temp mentioned above for the remainder of cooking. When turkey is done cooking, let rest, uncovered for 2.5 hours before carving. Gravy : 5:27 Drain excess fat from the Turkey tray and put it back on the heat Take the onions out of Turkey and chop Take the bacon and chop Add to pan Chop the lemon and add to tray Two sprigs of Rosemary in tray 3 tomatoes chopped and add Get Turkey trimmings (wings and butt tip) and add to tray 1 bottle of dry cider (1liter) (I use 750 ml) As it reduces add the resting juices of your Turkey Reduce by half Smash everything with potato smasher 600ml of chicken stock and reduce again Strain it and add a rosemary for flavor To serve gravy get a handful of walnuts and crush put at the bottom of gravy tray and add gravy (remove the rosemary if you added it at the end) Done
I’ve been making this turkey and gravy with his cranberry sauce recipe for 3 years now and it’s become THE most looked forward meal of the year for my husband! It beat his father’s thanksgiving dinner and he’s a retired chef! I pair it with half and half mash potatoes (half russet, half yam), roasted Brussels sprouts and maple roasted butternut squash! It’s truly a heavenly comforting meal! The gravy is unlike any gravy we’ve ever had! It pairs so well with mash potatoes we make! The yams make them kinda sweet and the gravy just intensifies and complicates it all for the better!
I've made this turkey for five years running and each year the crowd gets bigger. Once people start eating all you hear is yummy noises and "please pass the turkey" or "please pass the gravy". It's just a fantastic recipe that I follow word by word, extract every last drop. Thank you, Chef Ramsey, your recipe makes me look good.
Is it written down anywhere? Also, does he not put the juices he saved back in the gravy? I saw him pour it into a glass right after pulling the turkey out but didn’t put it back in. Just the resting ones.
Why is Donald Trump pretty and I am not? But why does he only have a wife but I have TWO HOT GIRLFRIENDS who I show off in my masterpiece YT videos? Do you know the answer, dear gordon
Also they had a sort of competition about a pie(something). Gordon said hers doesn’t “pop” or something, she said his was undercooked because the middle was a bit sunken. ua-cam.com/video/lbHKL6RZ_vg/v-deo.html
I’ve been following this same exact recipe for a couple years now and everyone in my family loves it! I’m in charge of making the turkey every year now no questions asked 😂
What size of turkey you guys buy (in lb). I was searching for exact recipe and haven’t found any here. What kind of tomatoes you use, what brand of cider you use and what works best. Thank you in advance 🙏❤️
Im a 25 year old single lady. After years of my parents putting on thanksgiving, this past October (Thanksgiving in Canada) I offered to do the meal. I followed this turkey recipe from this video. Gordon is a genuis. It was the best turkey, even better than my moms! I will use this recipe for turkey for now on for every special occassion (Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving)
@@02SplinterCell02 She don’t have worldwide recognition like Ramsay though, kinda crazy that the 2 of them both have Scottish surnames, Ramsay and Stewart
HAPPY THANKSGIVING! I just did this again yesterday and last year. I always come back to say it's a winner! Juicy good! Also note: when he says put in oven at 220 for 10 mins to brown he mean's 425 and turn down to 350, that's what I did. I don't use lemon and you can add or reduce the spices you want. Using butter and oil is what keeps the bird moist and not carving it straight out of the oven let it rest MININUM 30mins. Hope everyone has happy holidays!
Hi. Did you use bacon as well? Does it make a big difference? I ran out and if so I’ll just run to the store and pick up a pack. Also, I didn’t notice him ever covering it or is that supposed to be obvious?
The passion Gordon Ramsay has for cooking is astonishing . My one dream is to meet the guy irl and have a bite of his food after watching him cook. Happy thanksgiving everyone!

We watch this every year for the past 5 years for our Thanksgiving turkey and Christmas sides - you'd think we'd know it by heart by now, but each year I'm googling celcius to farenheight and pausing the video as I go along to make sure I haven't forgotten any of the steps. Delicious every time!

The butter under the skin and bacon over the top definitely helps moisture. Myself, I love to smoke turkey, so I tend to inject with apple cider and chicken broth. Baste every 15 minutes or so. Is some tending, but yes you can achieve moist turkey.
It was my first time to cook Turkey and this came to my feed in Pinterest I’m telling you all this is the best recipe and I followed Chefs step by step and it was perfect! I love how the bacon made the skin crispy and meat so tender and not dry thanks chef! My first Turkey attempt was a huge success and still this day my only recipe I use every thanksgiving
I watch this video every year just before Thanksgiving. Then I get to work in the kitchen-- while doing my best Gordon Ramsey impressions. My family INSISTS that this is the ONLY way we should make our turkey. Amazingly flavorful and soooooooo gooooooooood! Thanks, Gordon! 😊
Me too!!! The week before Thanksgiving!! The Brits Christmas lunch or dinner is the same as our Thanksgiving minus the mashed potatoes they usually roast theirs which is equally delicious!!! Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday no presents just food and family!! ❤️❤️ 🦃 🇺🇸
Okay I have been making my turkey for years with butter + olive oil + stuffing onion, garlic & fresh herbs in the cavity + putting bacon strips on it and using that for the gravy, and letting it rest for a couple of hours. Everyone always raves about my turkey. I feel like I got a Gordon Ramsey seal of approval, my method is so similar to his.
Thank you Gordon Ramsey. My five year old grandson and I made the turkey and gravy and the whole family raved about the flavor. It was amazing. Resting the turkey for as long as we did was so scary, but we trusted you and you did not disappoint. We love watching your videos and will be making many more meals. Can't wait to make the whole deboned chicken with stuffing. Thank you thank you thank you!!
Same. I'm 29 and made this for the first time a few years and my wife says my turkeys are the best one she's had and everyone asks if there's leftovers after because she talks about it every year. This is a good recipe even if you don't follow it exactly to a tee
My brother made this for Thanksgiving.. Unfortunately I had to work this year so he sent 3 days worth home… I ate it all in one sitting .. just couldn’t stop…. Definitely the best Thanksgiving meal I’ve had in 50 years.. There is no way Gordon’s could’ve been better… 🙂
Im convinced, best turkey and gravy possible, started following this three years ago and Ill never do anything different. The only thing I change is I add thyme, rosemary, sage, carrot and celery inside w the onion, lemon, and bay leaves. I add the walnuts earlier to be sieved out w the rest. I usually dont have the hard cider so I add regular apple cider/white wine but just small splashes. Make sure to do that to deglaze the sauté and reduce it down before adding the stock. DONT SKIP THE RESTING😁👍🏼👍🏼
The care and respect Gordon shows for this turkey (and all food he makes) is absolutely beautiful. He shows so much respect for the life given so that we may have life sustaining meals. That reverence shines through and THAT is why I think he is able to naake such delicious meals. God Bless All of US this Thanksgiving and Christmas. 🥰
@@IamCatharinemme I mean this video was from a few years ago but if you are talking about the fact that he uploaded it a lot later than what people start making the turkey then yeah you could say he’s mental.
It's that time of year again, folks. If you are making his turkey again this year, here it is: This is based on a 11-13 pound turkey. Reminder that you should be thawing your frozen turkey in the fridge atleast 3 days in advanced. So, if you're cooking this for Thursday, you want to have it thawing in the fridge and thawed by Wednesday night so that you can do the pre-oven steps Gordon does. I advise putting your turkey in the fridge Sunday morning. Turkey's can sit in the fridge for up to 2 days when completely thawed. That said, here's my notes on Gordon's recipe in this video. Ingredients 1 free-range turkey (ideally Norfolk Black or Bronze), about 11-12 pounds. sea salt and freshly ground black pepper 2 onions, peeled and halved 1 lemon, halved 1 head of garlic, halved horizontally 6 bay leaves olive oil, to drizzle 8 rashers of smoked streaky bacon Lemon, Parsley And Garlic Butter: 3 Sticks of butter, at room temperature 1 tbsp olive oil finely grated zest and juice of 2 small lemons 3 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed small bunch of flat leaf parsley, leaves only, chopped Method Preheat the oven to 428°F/Gas 7. Meanwhile, prepare the herb butter. Put the butter into a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add the olive oil and mix well. Add the lemon-2 zest and juice, 3 cloves crushed garlic and chopped parsley. Mix well to combine. Remove the giblets from the turkey cavity. Season the cavity well with salt and pepper, then stuff with the onions, lemon, garlic halves and 2 bay leaves. With your hands, loosen the skin on the breast from both ends of the bird so that you will be able to stuff the flavored butter underneath it, making sure you keep the skin intact. Repeat with the skin on the legs - from the lower side of the breast feel your way under the skin and out towards the leg, loosening the gap. Stuff half the butter mix into the opened spaces under the skin. From the outside of the skin, gently massage the butter around the breasts so that the meat is evenly covered. Finally, insert the rest of the bay leaves under the skin of the breasts. Place the bird in a large roasting tray, breast side up. Spread the rest of the butter all over the skin. Season well with salt and pepper, then drizzle with a little olive oil. (If preparing a day ahead, cover the turkey with foil and refrigerate at this stage.) Roast the turkey in the hot oven for 10-15 minutes. Take the tray out of the oven, baste the bird with the pan juices and lay the bacon rashers over the breast to keep it moist. Baste again. Lower the setting to 356°F/Gas 4 and cook for about 2½ hours (calculating at 30 minutes per kg), basting occasionally. To test whether your turkey is cooked, insert a skewer into the thickest part of the leg and check that the juices are running clear, rather than pink. As oven temperatures and turkey shapes and sizes vary, it is crucial to check your turkey about 30 minutes before the calculated roasting time. If the juices are pink, roast for another 15 minutes and check again. Repeat as necessary until the turkey is cooked. Transfer the turkey to a warmed platter and remove the parson’s nose, wings and tips of the drumsticks; reserve these for the gravy. Leave the turkey to rest in a warm place for at least 45 minutes; make the gravy in the meantime. Remove the bay leaves from under the skin before carving. Serve the turkey with the piping hot gravy, stuffing and accompaniments. Gordon Ramsay’s top tips for making roast turkey with lemon, parsley and garlic butter How to keep the turkey moist The butter in this recipe keeps the turkey moist - which is one of the most important things to do when it comes to roasting a turkey as its such a lean meat. Adding bacon to the top of the turkey (after 10 mins in the oven, and basting) also helps to protect the roast turkey from drying out when cooking. How do you stop the butter from burning when roasting a turkey? The olive oil in the butter mixture stops the butter mixture from burning in the turkey so make sure you add it in. Drizzle the turkey with oil before cooking too. This will help the skin crisp up and stop the butter from burning. How to prepare the garlic for a roast turkey Make sure you puree and crush the garlic before adding to the butter mix as it will make sure the turkey meat is infused gently and won’t be too overpowering. How to stuff a roast turkey Putting the onions in halved will make sure that when the bird roasts, the onion flavor will be transferred into the birds meat. The lemon and bay leaves add a bitter sweet flavor to the bird when paired with the onion is heavenly. How do you stuff turkey with butter? The butter in this recipe is placed between the meat and the skin, under the skin of the turkey to guarantee the meat stays moist during roasting. When adding the butter, add under the skin, pin the opening down and massage the butter into the middle of the bird to make sure the butter is evenly spread. The remaining butter should be massaged on the outside of the bird over the breast, wings and legs. Can you prepare the turkey the night before? You can do all the prep for the turkey the night before. Just cover the turkey in tin foil once you’ve buttered and stuffed it. You can then store in the fridge overnight ready to cook first thing Christmas or Thanksgiving morning. How long to leave roast turkey to rest Leaving the turkey to rest after cooking for about 2-2 and a half hours. As the meat relaxes it will absorb more of the juices and flavors making it more succulent, flavorsome and tender when it comes to serving, plus it’ll be easier to carve. *GRAVY* Gordon Ramsey Turkey Gravy Ingredients -Bacon from top of turkey Cut up the bacon, throw into tray -Roasted onions from cavity chop up, throw into tray -Roasted lemons -chop up and throw into tray -Springs of Rosemary FRY -3 chopped tomatos -Snap off the wing of the turkey -take off all the trimmings of the turkey -Pour in dry apple cider -Pour in resting juices -Chicken stock -Sprig of rosemary -Add crushed walnuts Drain excess fat from turkey roasting tray and put it back on heat. Then remove the bacon from the top of the turkey. And the roasted onions from the cavity. Finally take out the roasted lemon. First of all, cut up the bacon. Bacon into the tray. Chop up the onion and put into tray. Next chop up the roasted lemon and add to the tray. Put in a couple sprigs of rosemary. And fry. Add 3 chopped tomatos to thicken up the gravy. Snap off the wing, take off all the trimmings, bits never used. Add them into your gravy. Throw into pan. Next pour in dry cider. As cider reduces, pour in resting juices from turkey. When liquid has reduced by half, crush vegatables and turkey pieces with masher to extract maxium flavor. Pour in chicken stock and reduce again. Now sift it. use back of ladel to push it through the sift, pop in sprig of rosemary. Simply add crushed walnuts to the bottom of the gravy boat and ladel in hot gravy.
It’s probably because it’s an older video that was filmed a little while ago if you can tell by the quality and if I’m wrong sorry please don’t attack me for it lol. But that’s my guess
Most likely it is a older video like the previous comment, but at the same time he is Scottish/British/European, thanksgiving its not a European tradition. People only know it because of american pop cultural domination. Usually people in Europe when thinking on thanksgiving, they think also on Christmas and associate with it. And do these Turkeys for Christmas, so he simple put things together.
I made this today for Thanksgiving and let me tell you I was nervous at first. This was the first time I had turkey that melted in my mouth. There wasn't a piece left. This was the best Turkey and gravy recipe I have ever had. Thank you and I was the star of the show with this dish.
Ramsey is a living legend. When I was growing up G Ramsey was the alpha and the omega of the culinary world and still is. Future generations will never know the impact that G Ramsey had on all of us.
@@TanyaRivera-f4hlol don't feel bad, that's what I would be doing if I didn't read this comment lol Im sure your Xmas turkey will be amazing tho!!! ❤❤😊
Been using this recipe for 4 years now. It’s the best way to make turkey in my opinion. I try to make it a few times a year, not just for holidays. Always felt strange that we typically only have turkey once or twice a year. Now, it’s definitely not a meal you can make all the time, but every time I make it, it’s such a treat. The process is easy, and my favorite part is making the gravy
Im currently making this for Thanksgiving dinner today. I’ve put the Turkey in for the first 10 minutes at 430F and it’s not crispy at all. How long did you place it in the oven before it was crispy?
I’ve made this turkey for the last four Thanksgivings and it’s never failed me, I follow his directions exactly. The gravey is like its own food group.
You know I should really thank Gordon Ramsey for sharing this recipe. It has been my go to for several Thanksgivings. It made the turkey something that everyone looks forward too.
I feel the same way about Jacques Pépin. Don't get me wrong, I love Ramsay's recipes (& I make them all the time) but Pépin will always be the Grand Master Chef to me.
This has been my go to for Thanksgiving for over 2 years now. Has been everyone's favorite even for the people who don't like turkey because they've had it dry too often
Just used this recipe for my first ever attempt at cooking a turkey and it turned out incredible. Everyone loved the turkey and gravy. Will definitely be using the same recipe next year, only thing I’d change is to double the garlic he put in the butter.
@@mayeramschelrothschild3126 I’m preparing my first ever turkey using this recipe on Saturday. Kind of nervous. But encouraged that you said people loved it. I have the written recipe from his website printed and the original video favorited.
Michaela Wurzbacher I made this turkey for thanksgiving a few years ago and can vouch for it too! As long as you follow his directions, you’ll end up with a delicious turkey and the most incredible gravy ever 🤤. Good luck!

Blessed are the one's who got and are getting a chance to savour the food Gordon cooks...but,personally,i'd be happier to enjoy the food his mom cooks...after all,she taught him how to cook :)))
I know you won’t see this and that’s ok! But if you happen to see this-thank you! Since I was 18 I’ve made the entire thanksgiving meal and I’m 40 now. And I saw this and tried your recipe and is the best turkey I’ve ever made! Thank you for sharing with us! I’m a single mom with 3 kids and I love cooking for them! They love “mommy’s food” ☺️ and ur recipe was awesome and a lot of fun too!! Thank you chef Ramsey! You are the best!!! 💗💗💗
It didn't turn out very well for me, I didn't think these seasonings had much flavor that he used. My turkey was very moist ,but the flavor was missing for me. I have been cooking for 30 years now and I can read a recipe and tell how it would taste, parsley is bland ,so I used more flavorful herb's but that didn't help either, I have no idea why it wasn't very flavorful ❗
@@spritemoney Garlic, rosemary and thyme! The first time I made this recipe it was delicious and it was great! But I think I might go back to injecting it with my secret sauce 🫙. And maple 🍁 bacon 🥓😋 on top, my kids love to eat the turkey 🦃 bacon 🥓
@@spritemoney Many of my family members have passed away and for 26 years I'm the one everyone relys on for any holiday meal! Young women today don't seem to really want to cook, so those that marry into the family just show up to eat, why I do all the cooking with my husbands help! I have auto immune disease and the older I get the more tired I become. 🦃 But I recently found a recipe on line that is easy and helpful, it's called Thanksgiving in a Crock-Pot, by the farming preacher's wife, or something it's on UA-cam. I used chicken breast strips, this makes it cook more evenly , but I add previously cooked carrots to it or drained green beans to it! It's delicious 😋 my kids ask for this!
I made this turkey a few years ago and it was a hit at my Thanksgiving dinner, only the bones were left. 😋 I was asked for it this year again. Trust Ramsay!!! 🙌🏼
@@tmaxwell6033 no with everything else it just adds a smoky bacon flavor, and since you have other things in there to make it thicker you can’t really tell that there’s a lot of grease just flavor. Plus it’s a once a year meal it has to be savory
This is my first time making a turkey and hosting christmas at my house ill do my best, thank GOD the comments are giving me huge courage 🙌🙌 and Gordon Ramsay is my guy for this type of cooking occasions so on to do my best.
My wife and I (mainly my wife) followed this recipe this past thanksgiving. In my opinion it was the best turkey I’ve ever eaten. The meat was so juicy and moist. The meat was falling off the bone!
Used this recipe the very first time I made a turkey 4 years ago. Everyone absolutely loved it. I've been volunteered to make the turkey every year since. The only thing I do differently is brine my turkey. Amazing every time!
You use all the juice from two lemons to make that butter? Because oil and butter won't mix with lemon Juice. It separates. I think he meant to say, just a squirt of lemon juice. ????
@cannotbeshaken7889 I did put the lemon juice in the butter. I used a food processor to grind the parsley, butter, and lemon juice together. It always turns out so good and juicy.
I just followed this recipe and the gravy is HEAVENLY. Instead of smashing the gravy I used a food processor and it ended up thick and creamy. It’s amazing
Thank you Chef for posting this easy, delicious recipe. We had two turkeys, one which was prepared by our family member who was a restaurant owner, and the bnb other by mre. My family quickly ate the turkey i made. When the second turkey was carved, my family was still asking for leftover crumbs of the one i cooked. Thank you again for sharing this recipe as it will be recorded and kept in the family recipe box . Blessings!
I made this recipe for new years dinner. It turned out amazing. I was a little apprehensive about the turmeric potatoes but they were enjoyable. The gravy needed to be thickened though. All and all a keeper.
Best turkey recipe I have ever found! Just follow the instructions as closely as possible. Also, I would recommend that everyone (as long as your turkey is unthawed right now) to rub coarse salt all over your bird today. Let it sit in the fridge uncovered overnight. It will make your turkey much more moist and flavorful
I do this turkey recipe every year. 😊 My husband always takes me to the store to make sure I have everything. This recipe became my Thanksgiving tradition, and I enjoy the process of preparing turkey, and I also feel so accomplished when I serve it. 😊
@@denischungkham6779 Maybe, but it has nothing to do with being an alpha. We can all change! I used to simp like you but having a little self esteem and pride goes a long way.
Just made this for my mom for Canadian thanksgiving, she loved it and the bacon was weird but man was it good also in the gravy. Thanks Chef Ramsey you did me well keep it up I have learned a lot for watching your shows.
In my family we have had a turkey recipe for over a 100 years and everyone is rolling away from the table not really changing it ever. this is still great.
I’m 52 and I’ve always had my mum and my former mother in law cook it and I’m single now with a corgi : I have a turkey , two duck breasts and a steak to cook in 2022 along with truffled mashed potatoes , Greek rice , and pecan pie because I’m a Texan ! Cheers from Austin Texas ! Claudia
You sir have gotten me into cooking, I was interested for years but I was scared to try it, but I'm now trying small recipes and an having loads of fun and am happier for it
Bread and pastry is quite fun! Bread is very forgiving. You can even grow your own yeast if you have time. Pastry just takes a bit of time. If you shred the butter to fold into layers, it makes it a little easier.
@@lorrieh3375 if you haven't tried pretzels, they are great. You boil them in baking soda for a bit, then finish them in the oven. They are a fat free bread until you cheese them up. (I make my own bread flour with semolina. )
I made this tonight and it was amazing. It’s the best turkey I’ve ever made. What’s notable was how tender the meat was. I’ve been making Cooks Illustrated classic turkey recipe for 10 years now, but am switching to this method. Highly recommended.
I’ve been cooking this same recipe for thanksgiving for the last 6 years and I’m no chef 👨🍳….but I tell you there is no better Recipe out there… It comes out, so tender and moist every time. Thank you Gordon for making look like turkey genius.
I made this last year for thanksgiving for my family when I JUST moved into my house. I’ve never really cooked anything before and my family laughed and made jokes about how I was gonna pull off cooking a Turkey with me never cooking before. My family is full of wonderful cooks and they’re known for their cooking. I did my best to copy EVERYTHING exactly as he explained. I woke up early and worked so hard to make sure this was perfect and I watched intently on everyone’s first bite and they all looked at me with huge eyes saying “HOW?!?!” They said it was the best Turkey and gravy they’ve ever had and nothing will ever compare They wanted me to host thanksgiving from now on! They just asked me this week if I was going to be hosting this year again so they can have that gravy and Turkey again and I said absolutely!!! Thank you Gordon Ramsay! The approval from my family meant EVERYTHING to me! 😭
You showed your family that when you mess with the goo goo, you get the ga ga.
You showed them who's boss
Everything

What kind of cider did you use?
Title: Thanksgiving
Music: Christmas

it’s an old reuploaded video
Is there athanksgiving song???? Tell me if there is😧
Because this is taken from a video intended for Christmas. In England, Turkey is the customary thing to be served on Christmas since they don't celebrate Thanksgiving.
Lot's of folks in England have their Xmas trees up now to brighten their spirits. We are in hard lockdown right now.
I made this turkey last thanksgiving for my terminally ill mother. She was so grateful for it. Said it was the most delicious turkey she ever had. She passed away 4 months ago. I’m making it again this year and her ashes are going to sit next to the table.
Prayers for you and your family and mother, this is the way I will make my Turkey for years to come. Last year after letting the bird rest for 2 hours, I took off the breast meat and discovered about 10% of the meat was still on the pink side, so I took both sides of the breast and the leg and thigh and put back in the oven skin side down at 350° for 25 more minutes and it came out awesome, big save.
We're only human, my mother made fudge for me on her last Christmas, I never received it, I can make excuses about not being there to receive it because of work or my bills but that will not make a difference, cherish what you have it's not for forever, I showed up to late, I gave comfort but, I still have regrets, sorry for your loss
Sorry for your loss, but hope you have a wonderful thanksgiving!
My sincerest condolences I don’t know the loss of a mother, but I did lose my father last year to cardiac arrest Happy Thanks Giving !
Literally same here but my mama passed November 18th 💔
Last Monday
God bless rest in peace to our Mamas 🙏🏼♥️
Ok...hear me out. I love to cook, but last Thanksgiving was the first year my family trusted me to make the turkey. Thanksgiving fell on my mother-in-law's birthday so it was a present of sorts that she didn't have to do the cooking (graciously offered by my wife of course, LOL). I was slightly panicked because my first turkey was going to be a pretty large 22lb bird. I watched video after video thinking I have no clue what I want to do, but knowing that I really wanted to wow her. After so many different UA-cam "cooks" I found this gem by Chef Ramsey. I made copious notes with a timeline and everything. When I showed up with this glistening brown beauty and the homemade gravy in tow they were all in shock. I just found out I'm cooking the turkey again this year, but this time for my parents and my 102-year-old Polish grandmother who I got my love of cooking from in the first place. Thanks Gordon!
The gentleman, Mr Ramsey did a real good job showing how it's done, and so did you Mrs/Sir, he was saying, how it's done, and you texted how it's done, very well explained by the both of you'll
Gordon's a gangsta until his mother shows up
that applies to any man lol no man is as tough as the woman that raised him
Because no real man would ever disrespect his mother

She created a monster! An awesome monster...
Turkey Recipe: Turkey cooks at 30 minutes per kilo, basting every so often. (1 Kilo = 2.2 Pounds)
The butter mix:
375 g of butter (1 2/3 cups) room temp
A touch of Salt and Pepper
1 tablespoon of olive oil
Zest of two lemons and the juice
3 garlic cloves finely chopped
Handful of Parsley chopped
Inside Turkey:
Season with salt and pepper
Add two halved onions and one lemon
Two bay leaves
Cooking Instructions:
Turkey cooks at 220C (430F) for 10 to 15 minutes to get really nice and brown. Then take turkey out of oven and baste with pan juices.
Reduce temperature of oven to 180C (360F).
Here is where Ramsay adds the bacon about half way to cook on top of Turkey (Ramsay puts bacon on when he takes it out to cook at lower temp, after basting. I do it half way through so it doesn't burn).
Put turkey back in over at the lower temp mentioned above for the remainder of cooking.
When turkey is done cooking, let rest, uncovered for 2.5 hours before carving.
Gravy : 5:27
Drain excess fat from the Turkey tray and put it back on the heat
Take the onions out of Turkey and chop
Take the bacon and chop
Add to pan
Chop the lemon and add to tray
Two sprigs of Rosemary in tray
3 tomatoes chopped and add
Get Turkey trimmings (wings and butt tip) and add to tray
1 bottle of dry cider (1liter) (I use 750 ml)
As it reduces add the resting juices of your Turkey
Reduce by half
Smash everything with potato smasher
600ml of chicken stock and reduce again
Strain it and add a rosemary for flavor
To serve gravy get a handful of walnuts and crush put at the bottom of gravy tray and add gravy (remove the rosemary if you added it at the end)
Done
Thank you! I can’t believe how a professional video on cooking leaves out so many important details. It’s very unspecific.
Thank you!!!!!!!!

I’ve been making this turkey and gravy with his cranberry sauce recipe for 3 years now and it’s become THE most looked forward meal of the year for my husband! It beat his father’s thanksgiving dinner and he’s a retired chef!
I pair it with half and half mash potatoes (half russet, half yam), roasted Brussels sprouts and maple roasted butternut squash!
It’s truly a heavenly comforting meal!
The gravy is unlike any gravy we’ve ever had! It pairs so well with mash potatoes we make! The yams make them kinda sweet and the gravy just intensifies and complicates it all for the better!
I've made this turkey for five years running and each year the crowd gets bigger. Once people start eating all you hear is yummy noises and "please pass the turkey" or "please pass the gravy". It's just a fantastic recipe that I follow word by word, extract every last drop. Thank you, Chef Ramsey, your recipe makes me look good.
Is it written down anywhere? Also, does he not put the juices he saved back in the gravy? I saw him pour it into a glass right after pulling the turkey out but didn’t put it back in. Just the resting ones.
I get paid by a few families to prep thier turkeys... INCOME!!!! lol

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! I just did this again yesterday and last year. I always come back to say it's a winner! Juicy good! Also note: when he says put in oven at 220 for 10 mins to brown he mean's 425 and turn down to 350, that's what I did. I don't use lemon and you can add or reduce the spices you want. Using butter and oil is what keeps the bird moist and not carving it straight out of the oven let it rest MININUM 30mins. Hope everyone has happy holidays!
I thought he misspoke. Because it would never look like that lol
Hi. Did you use bacon as well? Does it make a big difference? I ran out and if so I’ll just run to the store and pick up a pack. Also, I didn’t notice him ever covering it or is that supposed to be obvious?

Does he really use parsley on the butter? It looks like coriander to me. Have you made it with parsley?
I have always avoided Turkey because I find it dry. Does it really come out juicy?
@@lekhad.v.8965 Italian flat leaf parsley. Looks very close to coriander (cilantro)
The butter under the skin and bacon over the top definitely helps moisture. Myself, I love to smoke turkey, so I tend to inject with apple cider and chicken broth. Baste every 15 minutes or so. Is some tending, but yes you can achieve moist turkey.
It was my first time to cook Turkey and this came to my feed in Pinterest I’m telling you all this is the best recipe and I followed Chefs step by step and it was perfect! I love how the bacon made the skin crispy and meat so tender and not dry thanks chef! My first Turkey attempt was a huge success and still this day my only recipe I use every thanksgiving

Im convinced, best turkey and gravy possible, started following this three years ago and Ill never do anything different. The only thing I change is I add thyme, rosemary, sage, carrot and celery inside w the onion, lemon, and bay leaves. I add the walnuts earlier to be sieved out w the rest. I usually dont have the hard cider so I add regular apple cider/white wine but just small splashes. Make sure to do that to deglaze the sauté and reduce it down before adding the stock.

@@IamCatharinemme wdym hes normal
It's that time of year again, folks.
If you are making his turkey again this year, here it is:
This is based on a 11-13 pound turkey. Reminder that you should be thawing your frozen turkey in the fridge atleast 3 days in advanced. So, if you're cooking this for Thursday, you want to have it thawing in the fridge and thawed by Wednesday night so that you can do the pre-oven steps Gordon does. I advise putting your turkey in the fridge Sunday morning. Turkey's can sit in the fridge for up to 2 days when completely thawed. That said, here's my notes on Gordon's recipe in this video.
Ingredients
1 free-range turkey (ideally Norfolk Black or Bronze), about 11-12 pounds.
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 onions, peeled and halved
1 lemon, halved
1 head of garlic, halved horizontally
6 bay leaves
olive oil, to drizzle
8 rashers of smoked streaky bacon
Lemon, Parsley And Garlic Butter:
3 Sticks of butter, at room temperature
1 tbsp olive oil
finely grated zest and juice of 2 small lemons
3 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
small bunch of flat leaf parsley, leaves only, chopped
Method
Preheat the oven to 428°F/Gas 7. Meanwhile, prepare the herb butter. Put the butter into a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add the olive oil and mix well. Add the lemon-2 zest and juice, 3 cloves crushed garlic and chopped parsley. Mix well to combine.
Remove the giblets from the turkey cavity. Season the cavity well with salt and pepper, then stuff with the onions, lemon, garlic halves and 2 bay leaves.
With your hands, loosen the skin on the breast from both ends of the bird so that you will be able to stuff the flavored butter underneath it, making sure you keep the skin intact. Repeat with the skin on the legs - from the lower side of the breast feel your way under the skin and out towards the leg, loosening the gap.
Stuff half the butter mix into the opened spaces under the skin. From the outside of the skin, gently massage the butter around the breasts so that the meat is evenly covered. Finally, insert the rest of the bay leaves under the skin of the breasts.
Place the bird in a large roasting tray, breast side up. Spread the rest of the butter all over the skin. Season well with salt and pepper, then drizzle with a little olive oil. (If preparing a day ahead, cover the turkey with foil and refrigerate at this stage.)
Roast the turkey in the hot oven for 10-15 minutes. Take the tray out of the oven, baste the bird with the pan juices and lay the bacon rashers over the breast to keep it moist. Baste again. Lower the setting to 356°F/Gas 4 and cook for about 2½ hours (calculating at 30 minutes per kg), basting occasionally.
To test whether your turkey is cooked, insert a skewer into the thickest part of the leg and check that the juices are running clear, rather than pink. As oven temperatures and turkey shapes and sizes vary, it is crucial to check your turkey about 30 minutes before the calculated roasting time. If the juices are pink, roast for another 15 minutes and check again. Repeat as necessary until the turkey is cooked.
Transfer the turkey to a warmed platter and remove the parson’s nose, wings and tips of the drumsticks; reserve these for the gravy. Leave the turkey to rest in a warm place for at least 45 minutes; make the gravy in the meantime. Remove the bay leaves from under the skin before carving. Serve the turkey with the piping hot gravy, stuffing and accompaniments.
Gordon Ramsay’s top tips for making roast turkey with lemon, parsley and garlic butter
How to keep the turkey moist
The butter in this recipe keeps the turkey moist - which is one of the most important things to do when it comes to roasting a turkey as its such a lean meat. Adding bacon to the top of the turkey (after 10 mins in the oven, and basting) also helps to protect the roast turkey from drying out when cooking.
How do you stop the butter from burning when roasting a turkey?
The olive oil in the butter mixture stops the butter mixture from burning in the turkey so make sure you add it in. Drizzle the turkey with oil before cooking too. This will help the skin crisp up and stop the butter from burning.
How to prepare the garlic for a roast turkey
Make sure you puree and crush the garlic before adding to the butter mix as it will make sure the turkey meat is infused gently and won’t be too overpowering.
How to stuff a roast turkey
Putting the onions in halved will make sure that when the bird roasts, the onion flavor will be transferred into the birds meat. The lemon and bay leaves add a bitter sweet flavor to the bird when paired with the onion is heavenly.
How do you stuff turkey with butter?
The butter in this recipe is placed between the meat and the skin, under the skin of the turkey to guarantee the meat stays moist during roasting. When adding the butter, add under the skin, pin the opening down and massage the butter into the middle of the bird to make sure the butter is evenly spread. The remaining butter should be massaged on the outside of the bird over the breast, wings and legs.
Can you prepare the turkey the night before?
You can do all the prep for the turkey the night before. Just cover the turkey in tin foil once you’ve buttered and stuffed it. You can then store in the fridge overnight ready to cook first thing Christmas or Thanksgiving morning.
How long to leave roast turkey to rest
Leaving the turkey to rest after cooking for about 2-2 and a half hours. As the meat relaxes it will absorb more of the juices and flavors making it more succulent, flavorsome and tender when it comes to serving, plus it’ll be easier to carve.

Always felt strange that we typically only have turkey once or twice a year. Now, it’s definitely not a meal you can make all the time, but every time I make it, it’s such a treat. The process is easy, and my favorite part is making the gravy
I have a question do you use the rack in the roasting pan ?
@@MaciasTno
Im currently making this for Thanksgiving dinner today. I’ve put the Turkey in for the first 10 minutes at 430F and it’s not crispy at all. How long did you place it in the oven before it was crispy?
Gordons camera quality makes it look like every vid was shot 12 years ago.
It's a reupload he had this one for Christmas a few years ago
@blv wtf are you talking about
why are you gay ?
Gordon’s mom seems like a sweetheart. Hope everyone had a good thanksgiving/Friendsgiving 😌
It's funny how they literally just took the Christmas Turkey Recipe n relabeled it Thanksgiving.
I thought it was just me that noticed
i was watching the other video last night and then this one came along
@@littlejohnny2000 Same here, I watch it every year cuz I always forget the temp he uses. :)
Jay M Hey man if it ain’t broke
We respect the hustle 😍
I’ve made this turkey for the last four Thanksgivings and it’s never failed me, I follow his directions exactly. The gravey is like its own food group.
You know I should really thank Gordon Ramsey for sharing this recipe. It has been my go to for several Thanksgivings. It made the turkey something that everyone looks forward too.
Gordon is a punk !
yeah
It's been your GO-TO, not go to ‼️
My sister did this for Thanksgiving and it was PHENOMENAL!!! Gordon, you are AMAZING! 🥰
Once, just once in my life, I want taste Gordon’s masterpieces
Yes!!
You can! He has restraunts all over the world!.
I feel the same way about Jacques Pépin. Don't get me wrong, I love Ramsay's recipes (& I make them all the time) but Pépin will always be the Grand Master Chef to me.
To each their own; I’ll have to look him up
@@johnjones5601 Here is a video of Chef Pépin's essentials:

This has been my go to for Thanksgiving for over 2 years now. Has been everyone's favorite even for the people who don't like turkey because they've had it dry too often
I don’t get it Gordon’s mom looks naturally calm.
Nah I naturally see a sleeping Volcano.. Don't be fooled :)
She raised him
I make this every year. This was originally his Christmas turkey episode. Sooooo good!!!!
Butter plus bacon. Hard to go wrong!
Just used this recipe for my first ever attempt at cooking a turkey and it turned out incredible. Everyone loved the turkey and gravy. Will definitely be using the same recipe next year, only thing I’d change is to double the garlic he put in the butter.
@@mayeramschelrothschild3126 I’m preparing my first ever turkey using this recipe on Saturday. Kind of nervous. But encouraged that you said people loved it. I have the written recipe from his website printed and the original video favorited.
Michaela Wurzbacher I made this turkey for thanksgiving a few years ago and can vouch for it too! As long as you follow his directions, you’ll end up with a delicious turkey and the most incredible gravy ever 🤤. Good luck!
I remember I did this recipe many years ago, and what I remember most is the smell from the parsley/lemon butter. What an amazing smell that is.
This looks amazing! I’m planning to make this for thanksgiving. Do you have the amount of each ingredient for the turkey and gravy?
It's posted on his website
@@OnlyonXBOXONE thank you so much, I was planning to grab a pen and write down the whole video step by step but you save me from going back and forth! I found his website and the recipe! Thank you 😊
@@milliemcalister796 what is the recipe called and what is the link?
Blessed are the one's who got and are getting a chance to savour the food Gordon cooks...but,personally,i'd be happier to enjoy the food his mom cooks...after all,she taught him how to cook :)))
I know you won’t see this and that’s ok! But if you happen to see this-thank you! Since I was 18 I’ve made the entire thanksgiving meal and I’m 40 now. And I saw this and tried your recipe and is the best turkey I’ve ever made! Thank you for sharing with us! I’m a single mom with 3 kids and I love cooking for them! They love “mommy’s food” ☺️ and ur recipe was awesome and a lot of fun too!! Thank you chef Ramsey! You are the best!!! 💗💗💗
its ok, i saw it and i think youre amazing, keep it up!
It didn't turn out very well for me, I didn't think these seasonings had much flavor that he used. My turkey was very moist ,but the flavor was missing for me. I have been cooking for 30 years now and I can read a recipe and tell how it would taste, parsley is bland ,so I used more flavorful herb's but that didn't help either, I have no idea why it wasn't very flavorful ❗
@@stardustgirl2904 What did you use?
@@spritemoney Garlic, rosemary and thyme! The first time I made this recipe it was delicious and it was great! But I think I might go back to injecting it with my secret sauce 🫙. And maple 🍁 bacon 🥓😋 on top, my kids love to eat the turkey 🦃 bacon 🥓
@@spritemoney Many of my family members have passed away and for 26 years I'm the one everyone relys on for any holiday meal! Young women today don't seem to really want to cook, so those that marry into the family just show up to eat, why I do all the cooking with my husbands help! I have auto immune disease and the older I get the more tired I become.
🦃 But I recently found a recipe on line that is easy and helpful, it's called Thanksgiving in a Crock-Pot, by the farming preacher's wife, or something it's on UA-cam. I used chicken breast strips, this makes it cook more evenly , but I add previously cooked carrots to it or drained green beans to it! It's delicious 😋 my kids ask for this!
I made this turkey a few years ago and it was a hit at my Thanksgiving dinner, only the bones were left. 😋
I was asked for it this year again. Trust Ramsay!!! 🙌🏼
The bacon on top threw me off a little bit. It didnt make it greasy?
That’s what I was wondering too, mostly for the gravy, I think the turkey itself is fine .
So how long do you leave it in the oven after you lay the bacon on and at what temp i kinda missed that part
@@tmaxwell6033 no with everything else it just adds a smoky bacon flavor, and since you have other things in there to make it thicker you can’t really tell that there’s a lot of grease just flavor. Plus it’s a once a year meal it has to be savory
Did you brine?
Lol this video is just his "CHRISTMAS RECIPE: Roasted Turkey With Lemon Parsley & Garlic | Gordon Ramsay" without the christmas parts
if you listen closely, the music is some lively christmas song hahahaha
The first part has been posted as far back as 2011 ffs
Nice profile pic lol
:)
Hahahahagajagagagshshshsghzfybxthbdhhzaf a god agas
This is my first time making a turkey and hosting christmas at my house ill do my best, thank GOD the comments are giving me huge courage 🙌🙌 and Gordon Ramsay is my guy for this type of cooking occasions so on to do my best.
I imagine myself following his recipe on baked potato
Him: a sprinkle of chilli flakes
Me: *three full spoons of chilli flakes*
Bruh same
My wife and I (mainly my wife) followed this recipe this past thanksgiving. In my opinion it was the best turkey I’ve ever eaten. The meat was so juicy and moist. The meat was falling off the bone!
Which turkey did you make? The one at the start of the video or the one at the end?
I love how his mom is blunt enough to tell him when he's doing weird cheffy things. Chilies in a thanksgiving potato dish? Lmao
She has no idea what's she's talking about. Why do you think Gordon laughed her off
Hello how're you doing hope you're safe due to the covid 19 pandemic?
Used this recipe the very first time I made a turkey 4 years ago. Everyone absolutely loved it. I've been volunteered to make the turkey every year since. The only thing I do differently is brine my turkey. Amazing every time!
You use all the juice from two lemons to make that butter? Because oil and butter won't mix with lemon Juice. It separates. I think he meant to say, just a squirt of lemon juice. ????
@cannotbeshaken7889 I did put the lemon juice in the butter. I used a food processor to grind the parsley, butter, and lemon juice together. It always turns out so good and juicy.
I just followed this recipe and the gravy is HEAVENLY. Instead of smashing the gravy I used a food processor and it ended up thick and creamy. It’s amazing
Good idea I’ll do that
Thank you Chef for posting this easy, delicious recipe. We had two turkeys, one which was prepared by our family member who was a restaurant owner, and the bnb other by mre. My family quickly ate the turkey i made. When the second turkey was carved, my family was still asking for leftover crumbs of the one i cooked. Thank you again for sharing this recipe as it will be recorded and kept in the family recipe box . Blessings!
My Momma did this for Thanksgiving.
It was phenomenal. Thank you, Mother and Gordon!
its some what a tradition to watch this video once every holiday season
I made this recipe for new years dinner. It turned out amazing. I was a little apprehensive about the turmeric potatoes but they were enjoyable. The gravy needed to be thickened though. All and all a keeper.
What dry apple cider did you used??
I put turmeric in everything. Try it on rice
I don't even know how to cook properly and i'm not that interested in learning, but watching this is just so calming
This will be my Thanksgiving recipe for 2021. OMG, I hope it turns out lovely!
am trying it too
l
Best turkey recipe I have ever found! Just follow the instructions as closely as possible. Also, I would recommend that everyone (as long as your turkey is unthawed right now) to rub coarse salt all over your bird today. Let it sit in the fridge uncovered overnight. It will make your turkey much more moist and flavorful
@@lukasbugajski3693 good point.
We did it last year it was easy and delicious 😋
@@lukasbugajski3693 I'm doing a wet brine overnight. Ill see how this goes before the roast. we'll see.
I do this turkey recipe every year. 😊 My husband always takes me to the store to make sure I have everything. This recipe became my Thanksgiving tradition, and I enjoy the process of preparing turkey, and I also feel so accomplished when I serve it. 😊
This is looking delicious amazing thank you
@@denischungkham6779 calm down there stud, don't simp for women you don't know online, it's sad.
@@NeverDoubtMe23 maybe one day I will have ur alpha mindset
@@denischungkham6779 Maybe, but it has nothing to do with being an alpha. We can all change! I used to simp like you but having a little self esteem and pride goes a long way.
@@NeverDoubtMe23 sarcasm but I get what u r saying
Just made this for my mom for Canadian thanksgiving, she loved it and the bacon was weird but man was it good also in the gravy. Thanks Chef Ramsey you did me well keep it up I have learned a lot for watching your shows.
This recipe got me through my first host of Thanksgiving. The turkey was so good I got the honor of cooking it again this year.
In my family we have had a turkey recipe for over a 100 years and everyone is rolling away from the table not really changing it ever. this is still great.
Something about Ramsay is so calming before I go to sleep. The cooking knowledge I obtain from him should be paid for. From my heart thank you Ramsay
I was like wait, dis dude isnt american. But this is for christmas so yeah.
Title says thanksgiving

@@Killshot15 says thanksgiving but was made years ago for Christmas in the uk
@@Marc1996L yea lol, title was "CHRISTMAS RECIPE: Roasted Turkey With Lemon Parsley & Garlic | Gordon Ramsay"
He does have a house or two in the US though
This is how I make my turkey every year and my family LOVES it.
I’m 52 and I’ve always had my mum and my former mother in law cook it and I’m single now with a corgi : I have a turkey , two duck breasts and a steak to cook in 2022 along with truffled mashed potatoes , Greek rice , and pecan pie because I’m a Texan ! Cheers from Austin Texas ! Claudia
You sir have gotten me into cooking, I was interested for years but I was scared to try it, but I'm now trying small recipes and an having loads of fun and am happier for it
ua-cam.com/video/zWvYxWOCaGs/v-deo.html😂🤣🤣
Bread and pastry is quite fun! Bread is very forgiving. You can even grow your own yeast if you have time. Pastry just takes a bit of time. If you shred the butter to fold into layers, it makes it a little easier.
Wholesome UA-cam moment
@@awalkthroughtorah6897 I love baking bread, even though I’m a beginner. It’s very relaxing and therapeutic for me, and I love the results.
@@lorrieh3375 if you haven't tried pretzels, they are great. You boil them in baking soda for a bit, then finish them in the oven. They are a fat free bread until you cheese them up. (I make my own bread flour with semolina. )
I made this tonight and it was amazing. It’s the best turkey I’ve ever made. What’s notable was how tender the meat was. I’ve been making Cooks Illustrated classic turkey recipe for 10 years now, but am switching to this method. Highly recommended.
I hope everyone who celebrates thanksgiving has a good one (:
My first Thanksgiving with family in years. It was amazing! Hope your Thanksgiving was just as good!
I’ve been cooking this same recipe for thanksgiving for the last 6 years and I’m no chef 👨🍳….but I tell you there is no better Recipe out there… It comes out, so tender and moist every time. Thank you Gordon for making look like turkey genius.
