  • My journey to achieving the “perfect” Turkey 🦃🔥
    I went into this mission with the goal of making a Turkey that was:
    🤌 Flavorful
    💦 Moist
    🌞 Beautiful Golden Exterior
    After doing a TON of research, I put together what I devised to be the dream team combination to achieve that and I think I came pretty dang near perfection. (I still want to work on getting the skin a bit more even.)
    This was one of the most juicy, moist and FLAVORFUL birds I’ve ever had…& we barely had any leftovers at all.

      The dry brine usually goes on first then the butter. Would have thought the butter would prevent the dry brine from penetrating the turkey. Huh… will have to try that technique

    Perfectly done. I went with a dry grind as well this year, and it was spot on. I hadn’t considered the mayo, but I would next year :-) What was also, super impressive was the slicing and prep! I need to step up my slicing game next year. Looks amazing!

    That looks fantastic. Last thanksgiving I made an Orange bourbon wet brine and then did a butter injection then smoked it. Family TORE into it. I’ve also experimented with deep frying, oven roasting, spatchcocking ( this was not fun, lol but I also have no butchery experience, came out great though). I’m hoping to make it to culinary school in 2024, but being disabled and unable to work, it’s making the task a lot harder than it needs to be. :-\. Your channel is an inspiration and I really appreciate you giving everyone a window into your life.

    Basting repeatedly only makes the skin not crispy. For your first turkey you killed it! Looks incredible.

    I believe turkey gets a bad rap because it's either dry or the rest of the extra and preparations that go along with the holiday. 🤷‍♂️

    You’re an amazing chef Alessandra, your turkey turned out beautiful😋 I’m confused though, I thought the internal temperature for poultry is 165, can you explain, I’d appreciate it, thank you♥️💫✨👼🏻✨💫♥️🦃

    • @FlavorsByAle
      @FlavorsByAle  8 місяців тому +5

      Yes! That is correct 165 is the final goal temperature, however we have to account for carry over cooking - which in a bird this large goes up about 10 degrees sometimes! Also, always easier to bring it up a little rather than having it over cooked 😊
