One of the things I absolutely adore about Chef Jean-Pierre is him making mistakes. When he does that he removes the feeling of being pressured on doing everything perfectly from the viewer. He creates such a comfortable atmosphere in his videos and personally, that is greatly appreciated.

His excitement about cooking is contagious

I was not in the mood to watch a 40 minute recipe but the first 2 seconds of the video cracked me up so much that I am watching a 40 minute recipe video. My sincerest kudos to the editor. Keep them, Chef!

Who in the world have more passion than you, Chef Jean-Pierre? You are blessing dear sir.

If you are ever having a bad day, watch ANY of Chef's videos and your day will end up GREAT!! I love watching your videos!

I did a turkey like you showed in the video and it was amazingly moist and tender. I then put the presentation on a serving plater with all the pieces arranged like you showed in the video. My family and guests could not have been more impressed with the bird. You made the Thanksgiving day one to remember for many years to come. Thank you from our home to yours.

The best part about this channel is you don't edit to make everything perfect. The butter wasn't warm enough, but we got to see the texture of the butter that's not warm enough and warm just right. It's actually very helpful for some of us who are a little neurotic in the kitchen.

I’m getting spoiled with these daily holiday uploads!

Chef Jean-Pierre is a TREASURE. Has instantly become my favorite cooking channel.

I've been watching your channel for well over a year now, I've followed so many of your recipes and they always turn out wonderful! I've improved so much as a cook over this time and it's all thanks to you. I think I'm ready to take on Thanksgiving myself this year, thank you for all of your help, Chef. And, of course, thank you to everyone who helps make these videos possible.

The editing crew with the graphics, camera work, and sound effects are just the best. Bravo

'If you have friends who are squeamish about butter ... don't show them.' I LAUGHED!!!!

I made this turkey for Christmas and it was a complete and absolute hit! People couldn’t stop talking about it! ❤

I don't care if you went over an hour! All these steps are sooo important to know. TY! Just beautfiul.

Chef, you ARE the Michelangelo of FOOD!! I wish I was there!! Happy Thanksgiving, to you and your loved ones! I am grateful for all your time and fabulous recipes year-round! Stay safe. Peace

i cooked Chef Jeans 2021 Turkey video Turkey for Thanksgiving & Christmas last year... im never cooking a Turkey any other way ever again lol. i've cooked Gordons Turkey, a couple of Chef Johns from Food Wishes Turkey, and i've cooked a few other Chefs Turkeys.... none of them are as simple, gorgeous, and most importantly delicious as Chef Jean-Pierre. i don't blow smoke when it comes to recipes, Chef Jean has some other recipes which i think there are better ways to do it.. but not when it comes to a holiday Turkey, Chef Jean has the best recipe.

Hey Lisette, so sorry for your loss, I've seen over the past couple of years the relationship you have with your puppies, love and caring. I was also devastated when i lost Maizey Mae last year. I got her when i retired and was with her 24/7 for 13 years. I still think of her every minute of every day, but my thoughts are full of love and great memories of her. My heart goes out to you...Ralph

Thank you, Chef. Handsdown the best Thanksgiving turkey video I've ever seen! ( I'm sitting here drooling). 😀

I wasn’t going to do a turkey this year but I’ve changed my mind. This looks and sounds delish. Happy thanksgiving to you and your staff and all your families chef and your subscribers.

Anyone who thinks we aren’t going to see the mistakes hasn’t been watching long! I love that you include your mistakes AND how to fix them, because if YOU make that mistake we will be making the same mistakes too!

Stumbling on Chef’s yt channel is the most wholesome thing the yt algorithm has done, ever. His genuine love for his art is just soo amazing to watch! Best cooking show ever, felt like my uncle was teaching me his tricks of the trade

I simply Love this man! He shares so much, and his heart is completely exposed to us lucky people, both with the results of his immense skill, and the boo-boos he shows. May God Bless you always Chef Jean.

Chef Pierre you're perfectionism is what makes you a Top Chef! This unique turkey recipe is definitely something worth trying! Your platter presentation is genius 👍! It's obvious that Thanksgiving is your favorite holiday. Thank you Chef! ❤️😀👍

This was the BEST turkey video EVER. Makes me wanna go out and get one right now and I'm Canadian! Thanksgiving was last month! MERCI CHEF!

Finally we learned how to cut a proper turkey! Now I would like to know that child that can do all these recipes. He would be most valuable.

I always stuff my turkey with bitter oranges, cranberries, and garlic cloves, after coating the inside with salt, pepper, sage, and oregano. It's just amazing.

Even though I 100% vegetarian I love interesting watching your teaching about cooking. Your are top of the (cooking) table.

Love this. I cooked this Turkey Recipe last year, it was my best Turkey ever! This method of cutting up, I use also on the Rotisserie Chickens purchased at COSTCO! It’s amazingly easy! Bon Appétit!

Take as much time as you like, Chef. We trust you.

I made your recipe as promised and it was absolutely incredible. My home had the aromas of Orange, Vanilla and Maple from basement to attic. When I finally able to carve the bird and have the first taste, it melted in my mouth and the flavor was incredible. Thanks again for sharing such an amazing recipe. Happy Holidays!

I really appreciate that your goal is blatantly to teach the love of cooking by demystifying the technique. Love your content. Whenever you're in the PNW stop by.

Chef, you take ALL THE TIME you want. We're here to watch your genius. I hope you show us stuffing and gravy.

JP starts 'kneeding' the butter and my brain says, "You can smell the maple and butter...", and I could. I've made a few like this in Maine. It's WONDERFUL.

This is now my yearly Thanksgiving tradition! Love all these videos!

I love your attention to detail. I don't think people emphasis the presentation enough, but you do...in all your videos. It don't go unnoticed by me Chef JP. Thanks for a wonderful Thanksgiving series. So nice. Happy Thanksgiving Chef JP. Cheers!!

so honest and genuine, i cook along with you Chef, I love my life! xx

Honestly, this is the best turkey we have ever had. I've been doing it wrong for 35 years! (Also made your cherry gravy, omg it's spectacular!) Have a great Thanksgiving!

I watched this right before Thanksgiving even though we were invited to a friend’s house for dinner. No one wanted to carve the turkey so I did, following your method. It worked beautifully and everyone was amazed at how nice it looked. Thank you! You made me the unintentional hero of the evening.

This is not another cooking channel...this is better than therapy, it's good for the soul.

Hi Chef! I watched this one last year and I am watching it again. My family used your method last Thanksgiving, and the results were fantastic! Butter for the win, Chef! We can never have too much butter!

Tonight is my first time watching you. Thank you so very much for everything ❤️. You made me smile so much. Have an amazing day.

I just made this today. It was by far the best Turkey I have ever made. Proof was that we had no leftovers!! Thank you Chef for this recipe!!!

Now that I have heard Chef say je ne sais quoi, I can die happy.

Thank you, Chef! You're amazing. I have not ever tried to roast my first turkey for Thanksgiving (because I know myself too well). However, I am inspired by your recipe and presentation. I think I can try it right after Thanksgiving (and make everyone happy at Thanksgiving dinner table). Yes, please wish me luck. Happy Thanksgiving to ALL!

I'm so hungry after watching this! I love the holiday menu you've prepared for us, I'm looking forward to the dessert too! Thanks Chef JP, God bless and I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

This is why people wait and crave one year for this!! Since I have no Turkey around this area, I will try this with Chickens!!! Untraditionally, but playing around is always fun, lower time in the oven for sure, but for sure fun 😁

chef says i dont want to waste your time.......i say time you enjoy wasting is not a waste of time........and i have never wasted time watching chef JP ....just the best!!!!

Less than 30 seconds into he video and I'm sold. Looks delicious and bet it tastes divine. Thanks, chef!

I’m at the place where you just took it out of the oven after glazing. GORGEOUS

Smacking my lips........uh oh.....I'm drooling!!! 🤤😍 I've never seen turkey so good 😊

Been cooking my turkey this way for three years. Never failed me! Perfect every single time! Thank you chef Jean-Pierre!

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better. 😊

I love your excitement with this project. You are always so excited about your food, which I appreciate. But I can see your extra giddiness with this turkey. I love it!

I'll be making this in a few weeks. Thanks again for your enthusiasm! It makes cooking that much more fun.

A Sunday video!!! I bought one of those racks last year when I saw your’s. It’s wonderful. I wish I was there too! Thank you Chef

I’m in heaven with the daily Thanksgiving recipe! And all that butter on the turkey is gorgeous!!! ❤

Thanksgiving & Christmas would have to be the most pleasant time of the year to just sit in your kitchen and reminisce about old times. A fabulous turkey, pleasantly displayed. Wishing I could be there.

I always feel better after watching your videos...thank you.

I’m absolutely in love with this channel & am head-over-heels in love with Chef John-Pierre….not with the 🦃 because the ONLY warm spice that I like, and in minuscule amounts, is cinnamon & I certainly am not going any where near maple syrup on anything except for pancakes & French toast - LMBO!! But, I’m learning so, so much about dishes, flavors that my husband & family would thoroughly enjoy. I alsolove that he doesn’t edit his mistakes & gives a honest presentation on how to prepare each dish & what might go wrong during the preparations. My Mom told me a funny story about a ham she cooked for Christmas. I was around 4 years old & while she was busy feeding my younger brother in his high chair, I had all of a sudden disappeared from the table. After asking my clueless dad, my older brother & sister if they had even noticed my disappearance, she heard a small step stool being dragged across the kitchen floor & running water from the kitchen faucet. When she walked into the kitchen, she found me lying on the counter with all of my body, except for my legs/feet, hanging over into the sink. I was holding the dish soap - upside down - with my little hands trying to pour it onto my piece of ham which was laying underneath the running water. When she asked me what in the world would possess me to go through all of that trouble to thoroughly wash my piece of ham, I told her that I didn’t like the “bad tooth taste” & was hoping to wash it off. My mom & dad were laughing hysterically when they figured it that I was referring to CLOVE spice. She still used cloves & pineapples on her baked ham, but she would cut 1/4 off of the end & would bake it first…just for me & for other guests (who didn’t like the “bad tooth taste” )who might have joined us as well. I can’t tell the story as well as she could, as she would start laughing again. My sweet Mama was a simple cook & there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. I’d put her Thanksgiving meals (Turkey, cornbread & sage dressing, biscuit dumplings, gravy from the Turkey drippings (NEVER added the gizzard, neck, etc. - again, because the consistency would humbly & seriously make me gag. The same reaction to liver, etc.) Her biscuits were LEGEND!!! Naturally she’d never measure a single ingredient. Gosh - I still miss her so horribly much. 😢😢😢 I’m married to a former chef - who can cook - have mercy - my Hubs can cook!!!! However, his feelings can be a tiny bit fragile even after 20 years. Sadly, he married a sweet country girl with a naive & picky palate. I guess he married me for my kind heart - thank goodness. At the time, that was about all I had going for me - FOTFLMBO!!!!! I cannot help it. I like what I like & there are some new foods/flavors that I will try. I think that it’s mainly related to the smell & consistency of the food. So sorry for the long post. This just triggered such happy memories of my Mama & her challenges of having a picky eater for a daughter. May God richly bless each & everyone of you ALL!! ❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️ MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Thank you Chef, it is so beautiful. It looks amazing.

That is a beautiful presentation. The best I’ve ever seen! Thank you so much for your video!
