    Once the turkeys outside browns to a level you like, cover the outside with tinfoil. The tinfoil will protect the skin from burning while the rest of the bird cooks. Also, you should be adding water to the cooking pan it is in and basing the turkey regularly, IE sucking up the juices from the pan and distributing them across the body of the turkey. 1 cup at a time until it evaporates/ is absorbed by the turkey should be fine.

      Yes especially in such a small oven where the turkey gets very close to the theat source :)

      i just read up on it appearently they don't need to baste it, since they brined it, but not sure if they did it for over a day, supposedly best to do it 3 days. But growing up my mom usually basted the turkey. So... IDK either way the turkey didn't kill anyone so that's a win!

      Nope, tent it first, brown second. That way you have less chance of drying out the white meat. NO WATER!!!! Baste with the juices that come from the bird!!!

      Paolo mentioned it was an oven/microwave. Foil might not be an option depending on how it works. My suggestion is quarter the chicken (breasts & thigh/leg) and sous vide! Works great in small apartments and tight spaces.

    I love the videos. To avoid the skin of the turkey burning, use foil. Then, with about 45-30 min left of cooking, remove the foil and then brown the skin.

    • @Sasukio10
      @Sasukio10 2 роки тому +10

      Although I think the quick burning of the skin is due to the fact that their oven size is quite small. Do you think turning the turkey into spatchcock style will help? It would be unconventional but might help with the given room the oven has.

    • @yansheng8646
      @yansheng8646 2 роки тому +1

      Was also gonna recommend this. Foil for an hour and then unfoil for the finishing and basting for the crispy skin. Also I think the brine had something to do with it colour as well as the sugars from the oranges in the grind might have caramelise. All in all still looks good and tasty 😋

    You could place the turkey breast side down in the pan during cooking (if can't brine it or don't have the time). Also, invest in a pair of oven gloves to better protect your hands while moving items in and out the oven.

    This did my heart good to see so many friends together enjoying some special time together. A couple of comments about the turkey - Butterball turkeys are prebrined, so you shouldn't need to brine yourself for a juicy turkey. I'm wondering if the oven temperature was a little high and that's why the skin got burnt. Maybe there was some kind of sweetener in your brine? But no matter, the day was about friends and family and being together and everything looked wonderful.

    Turkey: I have a larger toaster oven with convection cooking by Oster. I find baking anything, I cover it with foil. Remove foil when close to being finished. I don't think putting butter under the skin effected the color. Its the direct air heat that's circulating in such a small area. When baking shortbread, in a pan, I put on lowest rack and cover with foil. Remove foil before fully cooked to lightly brown the top. Have fun.

    When I cook my turkey, I cook the stuffing separately. I also put my turkey, on top of onions, carrots and celery so that the juices get seasoned through the vegetables and make a great gravy. I would cover the turkey with aluminum foil for the first hour or so, then cook it without the foil until done.

  • @anthy9986
    @anthy9986 2 роки тому

    With such a small oven you should try spatchcocking the turkey or deconstruct it. It should help to prevent the skin from burning. Use a cooking thermometer instead of the push tab ones so you can ensure the thighs are cooked completely. I'd get a raw unbrined turkey if the plan is to brine it since butterball turkeys (at least in the USA) come pre-brined.

  • @skatardrummer1
    @skatardrummer1 2 роки тому

    I highly highly highly recommend using an oven bag for your turkey. It helps keep the moisture in and prevent it from drying out or burning and they turn out perfect every time. I don't even have to baste it. However, since you dont have a lot of oven clearance, it might also help to get two smaller turkeys that you can put side by side if there's enough space to do that. Another American recipe is to deep fry the turkey and there's a lot of ways you can do that. It helps for folks without oven space. I've never done it myseld, but lots of people have success with it.

    Brined turkeys tend to color on the outside so much faster than non brined ones. Next time, just throw some parchment lined aluminum foil over the top to allow the turkey to continue cooking without browning too quickly. Everything looked delicious---I think you both did an amazing job with food. Thank you for sharing such a heart warming moment in your lives♥️.

  • @Dicyroller
    @Dicyroller 2 роки тому +1

    Start your turkey with foil over the rest and leg tips, also tie them together, you will want to cook it low and slow for most of the cooking. Remove the foil to crisp up the skin and finish cooking at a hot temperature. Using basting is good, but not necessary if you have wet brined. It will help to keep the skin moist if you choose to cook at a higher temperature. It makes crisping the skin more difficult. I recommend you look at lots of places, from Alton Brown to Kenji slopes Alt. You will get more precise methods.

  • @dbcad100

    My husband is a chef and he debones the turkey and roasts off the bones with tomato paste. After the bones are roasted he makes a broth from around 15 cups to three cups. It is amazing. The turkey is trusted into circles all the same size so it is cooked even and very beautiful when served. The stuffing is cooked half way and put into a cylinder shape so the turkey and stuffing is the same size. It is the very impressive. Never use the popup thermometer because it always gets over cooked that way get a proper thermometer gauge for it.

    My tip is to either cover the top of the bird with some foil or to cook the turkey upside down with the breast side down and then turn it right side up for about last 30 minutes of the cooking. If you do cover the turkey with foil make sure the shiny side of the foil is facing towards the turkey because otherwise your turkey won't cook right.

    Try a dry brine 24 hours before and use melted butter instead of softened butter when seasoning the turkey before the oven since the milk solids are separated when melted to avoid that black burning. You have a small oven so it will get black quicker, cover your turkey with aluminum foil after you get to the browness you want for the remaining cook time! Ina Gartens recipe was a lifesaver and comes out perfect every time. Hope you guys try again this year :)
