turkey tips and advice

[mellowyellow]

here's a good tip when makin gravy from the turkey<br />drippins. pour drippins into a small sauce pan,<br />then add a cup of really cold water. it will <br />solidify the fat so you can easily remove it<br />before preparing the gravy.<br />am hungry all ready

Also use corn starch instead of flour to thicken gravy. No lumps.

Another tip. Don't buy a frozen turkey today and expect to safely thaw it by tomorrow a.m. According to the experts, you need 24 hours for every 4 pounds of turkey to thaw in fridge.<br /><br />What happen to the good ole days of thawing your bird in a sink or tub full of cold water? I've never been sick from it and neither has my family.<br /><br />Also, too late for tomorrow, but I would like to try soaking the turkey in a brine sometime. I just so happen to have an extra turkey. Has anyone ever done this? If so, would you recommend it?

Someone sent me this recipe.<br /><br />Two Cups Kosher Salt<br />Two cups Wild Turkey<br />About a cup of Sugar or a half a cup of the dark Karo Syrup.<br /><br />Don't forget to throw a bit of the salt directly INSIDE the Turkey.<br /><br />Then submerge the turkey in water and the other ingredients in a large container and KEEP COOL for more than 24 hours. Like in spare fridge.<br /><br />Then roast the turkey how you normal would...

HAhah.<br /><br />Wow...Someone is bored!<br /><br />I've been deep frying the turkey for the past few T-Givins'.<br /><br />If anyone has never had a deep fried turkey..<br />YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE MISSING MY FRIENDS!<br /><br />We inject marinade, and let it sit overnight. Cook at 350 degrees for about an hour on a 12 to 14lb. bird in peanut oil.<br /><br />Mmmm GOOD!<br /><br />H.
