Well, if you wanted to do something completely different you could serve a beef rib roast, though that would be kind of pricey.

 

[Amstel]

we do pasta before turkey.

this is damn good.

I also have a stuffing recipe made in a casserole dish that's really good too. somewhere. . .

Toss the turkey in a brine overnight.. best fucking turkey you have ever had.

I don't want to plook it, I want to eat it.

Flavored brine, or just normal salty brine??

Both.

Zac (and looks like Tre does as well) has a spectacular brine recipe. GO GO GO.

How do you draw butter? pen and ink? pencil?

I had to know.

[Syrup Beaver]

Those directions are flawed.

As the butter boils, foam or froth will form on the surface. Remove the foam with a spoon and discard.

Discard? Discard? What a waste of deliciousness

Flavored brine. Hopefully tre will be along soon to post the brine he uses, as I wanna try his this year.

iirc, mine has chicken stock, peppercorns, ginger, allspice berries, and some other shit. brine it overnight and you will have the juiciest turkey ever. its on par with deep fried turkey as far as juicy, only it has much more flavor.


edit: Williams Sonoma has a pretty good prepackaged brine as well...

Both.

RECIPE IN PM STAT

It's based on this: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/good-eats-roast-turkey-recipe/index.html

but I only have a hard copy at my moms. I'll try to call her this weekend to get it.

Much appreciated- I'm always for trying something new with the turkey

speaking of butter, have you ever had a saltine painted with butter and toasted? I had a bunch last weekend. so tasty

I don't have Thanksgiving plans set yet. It's a tossup between staying home to party with the regulars at my favorite bar and go sailing during the day, or going to a friend's ranch where there will be a huge thanksgiving dinner to attend. I'm leaning towards the former since I won't have to find a dogsitter.

You wont go back after brining. The Food Pimp, aka theac, turned me on to it a few years ago. btw, altons cooking instructions in that recipe is dead on.
