This was such a fantastic video!! The best one in a very very long time. In fact, I think I'll watch it again. You're turkey is burning because you're putting the butter on the outside. Butter will always burn. The butter goes under the skin to keep the meat moist. It's really easy to do. Also, if you add olive oil to your herbed butter, it will stop it from burning. That is EXACTLY how I make my turkey. It's actually Gordon Ramsey's original recipe. Cooking turkey at 350° or 325° F is the best. However, it looked absolutely delicious! The food you had was amazing! WOW! Would love to see more videos of you cooking for a dinner party with friends over. Loved it!! 💙🦃

While cooking a turkey in a convection oven like most are saying is a quicker and better way if done correctly as it CAN be juicier, the problem is your oven size! All the times and temperatures, even SOME methods, you're being given would be fine in a normal sized US oven.... you don't have that. Your oven is half and maybe even a third the size of a "normal oven" in the US, which makes it slightly funny to me seeing a 14lb. bird having to basically be PUSHED inside. 😅😅 In truth even I wouldn't hazard a guess to the proper cooking time and settings given your oven's size, and as a former caterer whose cooked give or take around 500 whole turkeys, that's saying a lot honestly. My suggestion is to keep track of what time, temperature, methods, and oven settings you use from year to year until it turns out how you want it unless you get a bigger oven. You could also try roasting whole chickens as practice once or twice a year. Though not the same size as a turkey of course, that could be used as a good starting reference point. Hope this helps for next Thanksgiving! 🦃

We also cover for about 75% of the cooking, then brown at the end. I also steam mine with a mix of chicken stock, balsamic & Sherry in the roasting tray below the turkey (turkey is on a raised rack in the roaster). It makes a fabulous gravy. It’s always juicy & perfectly browned. Browning at the end allows you to control the browning as the turkey is essentially almost done.

The problem is you want to cook at a high heat for searing the skin, and then afterwards you want to cook at a low temperature.

A suggestion for the turkey next year. Try spatchcocking the turkey or cutting it into four pieces for faster and easier cooking. Leg and thigh together. Breast and wing cut in half and roasted together. Dark and white meat cook at different times so separating and cooking them separately will make them stay moist and save a lot of cooking time.

Once the thermometer pops out then the Turkey is done. You can get a thermometer that connects with a phone app so it will be easier to see when the Turkey is done. Also, since you have a small oven, the recommended time on the Turkey packaging is most likely wrong. It will take less time to reach the cooked internal temperature of the Turkey since your oven is smaller than typical American ovens.

If I use an oven, I actually "spatchcock" the turkey by slicing the turkey longitudinally on its dorsal side and removing the backbone, then flatten it breast up to ensure even cooking. Otherwise, I deep fry it whole in a deep pot or a specified turkey fryer (if I choose not to use the spatchcock method). Comes out juicy with the skin crispy every time. Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi Maiko and Paolo, after 30 years of cooking turkeys, here's what I would do: brine for 24 hours; season with garlic, thyme, sage, and olive oil/butter; cover the whole turkey and the pan with tin foil before you put it in the oven. For a 14lb turkey, 4 hours before you want to eat, put it in the oven at 350 F for 2.5 hours. Do not open the foil, or open the oven. Then at 2.5 hour mark, remove the foil and put it back in for another hour to brown. Remove after 3.5 hours total, cover with foil (tent it over the pan) and let rest for 30 minutes before carving. (This lets the juices reabsorb into the turkey, then it won't be dry.) The formula is: for every pound of turkey weight, cook for about 20-25 minutes. If it has also been properly brined it should not be dry. If it has been brined, you don't really want more salt from bacon. Good luck for next year!

It makes me excited for us having it in 3 months 🎉 The foiling is to cover all of the turkey, not just a small line one on top, as it helps it stay moist the whole time. and marinating injectors help it while sitting in brine to also have liquid marinade in the meat throughout 😊 look injectors for turkeys.

Two tips Tip 1: baste the turkey like every twenty minutes after it’s been in for about an hour or two Tip 2: once the turkey is at the desired color, tent the whole thing, not just some of it, in foil. But do not stop basting. If you don’t baste the turkey, it will be dry. For basting, all you have to do is make sure there is a metal tray holding the turkey up slightly and add a good amount of water under the turkey. The fat will drop down into the water and you will use that to baste. If the water all evaporates, you can add more water. But like I said. Baste the turkey as much as possible.

You should cook the turkey, breast side down (breast facing the bottom of the pan) for the first half of cooking. Then flip it over during the second half of cooking. That'll help prevent the turkey from getting dry and from burning. Also, you guys can probably skip brining your Turkey if it's a butterball, as they're already brined.

Paolo, the thing is, when it's a too big piece of meat, my advice, cook it slow, very slow, for a piece of turkey, i would say 3 to 5 hours at a low-medium temperature (it'll depend on your oven), and you finish the last 10 to 15 min with a higher temperature to give it a nice color. Bacon is good but it's a very thin piece, so it'll cook very quick. Put it, if you want, the last 10 min after your turkey got a nice skin color.

I would put the butter, garlic, onions, and bacon under the skin, between the skin and breast meat. I also used to stuff under the skin of between the bird and thigh. I bend the wings back and tuck onion, garlic inside the neck skin, then tuck the neck skin under the bent wings. I cut slits in the skin of the stomach and cross tuck the drumstick ends through each slit. Inside the turkey, I put onions, carrots, rosemary, whatever flavorings you like. I have also done herbs under the breast skin, etc. The flavoring is up to you. I love you guys trying to do a real turkey for Thanksgiving in Japan. The other option, which I found easier, once the number of guests decreased as people did not travel, was just to cook 1/2 turkeys. You might try asking the butcher to cut the turkey in half.

Then insert the syringe inside the meat and insert the juice into the meat in however many places of the turkey you'd like! You can insert the syringe full of turkey juice however many times you'd like depending on how juicy you want your turkey to come out😊

Also, add some olive oil to your herbed butter and it keeps it from burning. It's actually a Gordon Ramsey turkey recipe. The original says to cook it at 475° for the first 2o minutes and then turn it down to 350°. Turkeys don't take long to cook like people think. You're supposed to allow 20 minutes per pound. Cook it in the morning and then let it rest for 3 or 4 hours. It will continue cooking when resting and allow the juices to flow through the turkey. Your gravy, etc is hot so having hot turkey isn't necessary. You make your turkey exactly like me!

It might sound weird, but when I cook a full turkey (especially a large one) I start cooking it upside down. This way it gets cooked on one side and then you can turn it over halfway through and it's right side up and get the top browned that way. You're turkey is getting overcooked because it's sitting really close to the heating element on top it looks like. Most ovens here in the US don't have the top heating element on for regular baking unless you are in broiler mode.

Hi Paolo and Maiko! Consider using a meat thermometer. Stick it in the thickest part of the turkey (breast) and cook until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Spatchocking is another thing to consider and it involves cutting through the backbone with scissors and this lets you flatten the turkey for a more even cooking surface area. In my own experience, this is the quickest way to cook but may not be the most presentable and this method doesn't work well with butter beneath the skin (it'll ooze out). looking forward to the next Thanks Giving video!

Next year, just have a breast roast, or put a lot more slivered bacon over the breast and top thigh. Cover with the foil on one hour after it goes in the oven. Take the foil off an hour before it's done, lowering the heat. Once out the oven, turn the whole bird on its breast and leave for 30 minutes allowing the cooking juices )you find that tends to gather on the back and dish after carving) to seep into flesh as it cools, thereby giving a more succulent top of bird. Well done Miko, you did good - I watched your prep which you did the right way, especially butter under the skin. It looked BBQ shade of dark, but certainly not burnt. Also don't fully stuff the cavity as it takes the bird longer to cook.

Invest in a cooking thermometer! Safe temperatures for poultry in the US is 165 F (~74 Celsius), so might be able to get it slightly under for Japanese birds. I like to pull the bird from the oven when the white meat (breasts) around 155-160 F and dark meat (thighs/legs) 175 F or higher. The foil method around dark meat is smart to keep it from getting too burnt and makes it raise in temp faster.

Next time you should Spatchcock (or crapaudine in french) your turkey. This way it will be easier to cook in a smaller oven and it will cook more evenly, same goes for chicken. It is the magic trick many chef use to cook poultry. You can keep the back bone to make the broth for a soup entrée. Make sure to dry your turkey well before apply your rub seasoning.

To make the turkey more moist boast it with the juice in the bottom of the pan you use for cooking. A 2 or 3 times each hour when you are cooking it.

Happy Thanksgiving!!! Love watching your family and love Japan life. Quick Tuckey tip, get a meat thermometer and when the turkey breast reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit. No more worrying about about time. Happy eating.

You've got a lot of suggestions in the comments, but my #1 suggestion to not accidently over cook your bird is to get a probe thermometer that you can leave in the bird. Set it to your target temp (161F, don't have the C equivalent, sorry). The kind with a wire that comes out of the oven to the digital part, while the probe stays in the turkey has an alarm that will go off when it reaches the right temperature. Of course, move the probe when it goes off just to make sure it wasn't in a warmer spot. No overcooked dry turkey 🙂

The way you both were talking in the end 😅 oh ya had FUN 🎉 lol happy Thanksgiving! Maiko did so good! Try covering the turkey fully with aluminum and putting it in the oven really low like 200° for couple hours then uncovering it once the inside is done ❤

Use melted butter (which separates milk solids that easily burn) vs cold butter on the skin OR a neutral oil like grape seed oil for golden crispy skin!!

Remember when you first get the Turkey you are supposed to clean all the insides out first. If you want to use the other parts in dishes you can like say if you make collard greens you can use the Turkey neck to give it a meaty flavor.

Cover top with tin foil because your oven is so small. Also, only put olive oil on it as milk solids in butter will burn the skin.

Turkey cooked traditionally is almost always dry. There are ways you can cook it that help with that, but that would probably be very difficult to do in Japan.

For the best moist juciest turkey bake it upside down so it all flows into the breast. Meat will fall off the bone its so moist. Brother in law made the mistake one year of putting the turkey in the oven upside down. Have been doing it ever since.

A meat thermometer (And possibly a dial thermometer for just in the oven) might help figure out how the little oven is behaving. We had a tiny one (by American standards) in one place we lived and it was a little tough to heat the bird evenly cause it took up so much of the space. (rotating the turkey in place can help there too. And once that bacon's all crisp there it won't be doing any more good. :) )

If your oven can fit it, Spatchcock your turkey! It will be much easier to cook evenly.

Try sous vide. It will come out perfect. You'll just have to crisp up the skin when done.

We spatchcock the turkey that way it cooks faster and more evenly. Also easier to store with the brine in the fridge 👍

Haha dont worry about the turkey, until like theast 5 years i didnt know how to cook the trurkey and always had dry turkey. If your not making a fried turkey, i would rather spatchcock the turkey. Season as normal, make a seasoned butter and put in between skin, and use a dry rub eveywhere else. Cook the breast to like a 155 internal temp and let it rest. Cook the wings, thighs to like 180, these parts are safe at like 160 but taste better when more of the fat is rendered, just like chicken thighs. Spatchcocking also speed the cooking time, so you have more time to prepare the gravy with driplings and not worry about the breast being dry.
