Deboned Turkey Roll

[Luke P]

If you aren't following Scott Rea, you're missing out on some brilliant knife-work, prep, and butchery. https://www.youtube.com/user/TheScottReaproject

I deboned a 16lb turkey by following his video, and rolled it into multiple stuffed "roasts". Tied off using his butcher knot. It's not pretty like his, but it's delicious! Here's how it went...

Cut down breast bone and went from there...

Filled with some garlic and herbs.

Rolled the whole thing and tied off as I went. Like I said...not pretty.

Cut it down to a few smaller rolls, and this is it at about an hour. High heat at 400*+

Did i mention the bacon wrapped asparagus? ;-)

Beautiful baby sister in town to justify this meal.

Big boy is happy with his meal.

Moist and delicious. Skin was crispy for a bit, but softens up after a bit of time in the kitchen. This is a bit labor intensive but I enjoy playing with new knife skills as much as I do with new BBQ skills.

I think you did great for a first effort Luke. It's always fun to acquire a new skill then hone it.

 

[Cliff Bartlett]

Very aggressive undertaking Luke. Looks absolutely delicious!

 

[russ olin]

Looks pretty guud.

 

[ChuckO]

That is some exceptional skill Luke! And a mighty fine cook too

You did great for your first time, much better then I could do and it looks really tasty.

Luke, that was amazing and looks so delicious. You did a fantastic job for the first time, I'm sure you will only get better at it. Your finish plate tells the story and I'd take ome for sure. I can see the Big Guy sure enjoyed his dinner.

Dang Luke!
You got my creaky ol' mind tickin' now for a Valentines meal. Great post!

Great looking turkey roll! Scott Rae's video tutorials are great. Been using his butchers knot for years.

Doesn't matter how it looks when it starts, it's how it tastes when it's done. Looks goooooood

I don't mind getting in there with a knife either (pork usually but sometimes beef) but seems like "a project too far" for me. Nice Job.

 

[Kemper Morris]

Good job Luke

 

[Enrico Brandizzi]

Great great job Luke. You showed agreat butchering skill and sliced pic looks super tasty. Complimenti.

Superb Luke, I've been watching the project for awhile mostly due to his English recipes and his work with wild game which I am big into.

Len, I know what you mean, but after I saw this video I had to give it a go. My wife also found turkey around Thanksgiving for .69 cents/lb so she bought 2 big ones. She got me one just for this experiment!

Thanks to everyone for the encouraging words. I've missed sharing on here.

Oh... yea!!! Fun with the knife & rotisserie & you get a guud meal or two, also.
Good job!!!
