My smoke day meat will be turkey this year. Got one thawing in the fridge now. Will be trying one of the Cook's Illustrated salted turkey recipes that includes baking powder. If it works, you'll see it featured online this Thanksgiving!
That is...from 1997.nice therm.....
is that an original wood handle dude?
Yeah, it's looks like a cross between acupuncture and bondage. Loosening the skin to get the salt under there makes it want to pull back from the cavity opening, and I ripped the skin a bit over one of the legs, so the toothpicks kept the skin in place. And as a result of that ripped skin on the leg, it kind of splayed out, so I made several attempts to tie it all together. I'm not the best at trussing, as you can see, but it worked OK.That tied up and acupunctured bird ain't feeling no pain!
Looks like it will be a winner Chris!
