This recipe (actually the version from her other book The Way To Cook) saved one of our Thanksgivings. We had guests, had the turkey and all the fixings, were all set to cook the next morning and a family member had a medical emergency. Trip to hospital, all was well, but we didn’t get home until the next morning. We would not have had time to cook, but Julia to the rescue! Deboning, starting the meat side under the broiler, then draping it over the mounded stuffing, it finished cooking light lightning, and was the best turkey ever.

I’m 68, just back from 5 days in hospital, and I couldn’t agree more. I make it a practice never to have turkey for Thanksgiving, but I very much want to make this recipe - with stock and gravy included - as soon as I’m strong enough … maybe for Christmas 2022. However, I’ll use veal (instead of beef) and pork fatback (instead of extra pork) for that superb stuffing. As for the turkey neck, my mother would be rustling her ashes at tossing her favorite munchie! Just roast the neck and see for yourself. Btw, the disaster of opening the plastic-wrapped bird, only to have that bacteria-laden liquid gushing all over the place, is possibly the most useful mistake you’ve ever kept in a video. Thanks to that vision of horror, we will never cut the plastic unless the bird is IN THE SINK! Love this video SO MUCH! ❤❤❤❤❤

I will never forget the first time I deboned a turkey. 2 hours later, I was so tired it was really a challenge to actually attempt cooking the thing. In preparation of said deboning, I had watched every video I could find on how to do the thing. It was only afterwards I found Jacques Pepin's video on the technique. It is beyond all doubt the easiest to follow instructions, as well as the best understood as to what you are doing, so as to be able to apply the technique to any fowl, be it chicken, duck, goose, or turkey. I have deboned turkeys since using Pepin's technique. It is still the best.

The difference between a stock pot and a Dutch oven is the height. That’s how you fit the meat and veg in the water to cook it down. I’ve used a cheap one from Walmart for 20 years and it works like a charm. I only use it for making stock & cooking pasta so the low quality hasn’t mattered. I told myself originally I’d replace it “someday” and so far we’re not there yet.

16:50 why she may not mention rubbing with butter is that the melted butter will collect in the pan and possibly burn, if the pan is dry enough, which would lessen the quality of the pan gravy. Also, butter has some percentage of water in it, so other methods for crisping the skin (salt, vinegar, drying) can work better.

Nice dish. I've done both ways; leaving the legs/wings on & removing those bones too. The way you did it makes it look more traditional for the table however. First time I did it & was carving it at the table I had a few of our friends believing it was a special breed of water turkey that didn't have bones [why they lived in/on the water]. I also do it with chickens & other birds. With chicken I like to change up the fillings with vegetables & cheese being a favourite. But things like flavoured rices with tomatoes are good too. Learning to do it with small birds like quail or partridge is an art, but it does mean you can eat them like a lollipop [leave the legs on] once the bones are removed. You can get more meat off of the bone this way so you get more to eat & so easy to carve. Plus having the carcass to make gravy/stock with is great, rather than rely on one you've stored in the freezer. Thought you did really well doing this one as it can seem quite daunting at first.

The trick to stuffing not dryer than a popcorn fart is to brown the meat/sausage first, and then add butter and some turkey stock to the pot (not soaked, but the bread softens) and THEN stuff the turkey. I’ve never had dried out stuffing, but I can imagine it is nothing like I’ve typed out ends up.

@CleoHarperReturns Жыл бұрын

@@jacquelinehunter8452 Yeah see I get that but it's a textural thing for me. I've only had good stuffing (IMO) once -- and it was cooked outside the bird. I just can't stand the mush (and for me it's always mush). I don't like bread pudding too much either; just a personal choice. The one stuffing I loved had cornbread and chestnuts so there was no gumminess to it at all. She may have even toasted the cornbread first. In order to have a moist bird it needs fats and liquids. Searing the turkey will only take you so far because it's so lean to begin with. Being in Florida I actually stuff my bird with citrus, fresh herbs, garlic, onions and butter. It helps make an outstanding gravy too. Mom makes the stuffing because she knows what everyone else likes (but she can't cook meat to save her life lol).

Jamie, honestly, that was THE best video you have ever made. It turned out magnificently! Few people would attempt the de-boning.

I was unsure about what you were doing, but as soon as you were adding up the ingredients of the stuffing it was clear: this was going to be stunning!

This channel has taught me so much. Perception is everything. It just never occurred to me that someone would look at the pop up timer and think that's where the thermometer goes. Those things are useless anyway. Fantastic looking turkey 🦃!!!

I first deboned a turkey by Julia's instructions over forty years ago. That method did not include stuffing it, which made the whole process much easier. Not only did it turn out better than any turkey I'd ever roasted before, but it also saved me from having to clean off the carcass late at night after my guests left. I was much safer using a sharp knife in the morning than late at night after an afternoon and evening of wine and brandy.

I thought all stuffing was this, I’m from the UK and we use sausage meat fine breadcrumbs sage onion etc rolled into balls normally, but watching other thanksgiving meals being prepared the American stuffing is like bread cubes with other bits mixed in! It looks delicious!!! I didn’t know we did it so differently lol

I absolutely love the show and especially the Julia Child series! First of all the recipes are very difficult, the recipe language is outdated (certainly not as simple as modern day cookbooks), and it's just not easy at all! But these recipes make you a better chef! Keep going!

I have finally figured out what it is that I like about watching your channel. You have such a refreshing amount of humility, something you don't see so often. And you are also funny. Thank you for sharing yourself and your cooking with us.
