For anyone watching the second part of this good eats comes first. I love this show!!! Alton Brown is a wonderful cook whom makes cooking show fun and educational.
The perfect way to cook a brined turkey. Works great every time. Alton Browne is a culinary genius!
He actually has an entire episode about deep fried turkeys.
I love this recipe! Delicious! I will do this for the third time for Christmas. mmmm.
Just deep fry the whole Turkey in lard cuts the cooking time alot and comes out nice and juicy ever time mmm mmmm gooood ,,good for you too …
Alton mastered the “triangle” while playing it his highschool rock band
No, it’s ok, no ill will intended. I did use his bra on my bird this year. Worked perfectly.
So sorry, I was doing two things at once as so many homemakers do and didn’t notice. Thanks for the correction.
hahaha
lol ur a dork
I hear bermuda has a pretty good triangle
awsome
gonna try this tomorrow *crosses fingers*
Oh yes, and DON’T forget the turkey triangle!! Not sure the white meat would’ve stayed as juicy without it.
I didn’t believe it either. I had a 14-almost 15pounder too and believe it or not, it DID cook in about 2hrs time…I left it in for an extra 10-20mins anyway (before even checkin’ the meat temp) just because I was nervous that 2hrs was too short. It still came out perfect…I think the brine had a lot to do with it too though. Are you brining? I live by brining now! lol
Good luck, hope yours turns out as deeelicious as mine did! Happy holidays!
How long did it take to cook? I’ve got a 14lbs. bird like he’s got in the video, but I almost can’t believe the 2 hour cooking time that he claims.
YESSS…used this method last year after brining my turkey overnight and the turkey was THEEE BESSST TURKEY EVER!!! Full of flavor (WITHOUT seasoning it after brining, of course)and sooo juicy some of it even melted in your mouth. Hence I am a victim of my own success…I’ve been unanimously nominated to be in charge of the turkey every year now (and we have a big family!). LOL! THANKS ALTON! YOU ROCK!
ps. Didn’t exactly follow his brining recipe. Had my own, but sure his is great too.
I LOVE YOU ALTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
they have become increasingly common. check the home section at WalMart. you could, of course, go to Williams-Sonoma but you’d be paying easily twice as much. they’re extremely handy, i can’t possibly recommend them enough!
where can you get a thermometer/timer thing like that?
and do you put any seasoning/garnishes or anything of that sort on it
Hooray for the “turkey triangle” lol
elude not allude, two different words, thus completely different meanings. Don’t take it personally, I just found it funny.
yea..hes a freakin genius
I love Alton Brown
I love his show because he gives great explanations as to why you would want to do things a certain way and this video is no different. Cooking turkey seems to allude many but this should really make a different for all of us.
