Thanksgiving Turkey

Ingredients:

1 fresh turkey about 20 lbs (Costco)

3 -4 lemons & 1 Tbsp salt for cleaning


For Marinate:

seasoning salt
hoisin sauce

For Stuffing and Bedding

2 orange
3 onion
1 bunch of celery
1 lemon for baking
4 carrot

for Rubbing before cooking

2 Tbsp melted butter
annatto oil



Follow instruction from turkey package, squeeze lemons then salt all over the turkey then wash it all off.

Truss the turkey - Breast side up, with a long string fold in 1/2 hook onto the neck go down the leg, tie it 2X , around the leg pull it in, then the other leg, tie it together, go up and around the little part of the wing, flip over then tie it, bring it down the end (butt) then turn around tie it again (surgeon knot) or better yet look at this video

Put turkey in a baking pan, rub turkey with seasoning salt all over the turkey inside and outside, even inside the meat under the skin on the breast (it is ok that the turkey is a bit wet - so it will hold the salt), put the whole turkey with baking pan into then a 13 gallon trash bag, close it tightly and put it in the refrigerator for about 2 days .

Take the turkey out of refrigerator 2 hours before baking .

In the mean time, cut up all the other ingredients into 4th or 6th stuff at least 1 orange, 1 onion, 1/2 lemon, 2 or 3 pieces of celery, 1 carrot inside the turkey and let the rest lay it on the disposable deep baking pan for turkey then the turkey breast side up, add 1 can of chicken broth on the bedding along with 2 Tbsp chicken seasoning and 2 tsp of salt be sure to put the disposable pan onto the baking pan so that it strong enough to move in and out of the oven .

Turn oven to bake at 325F degree

Rub the turkey on top and underneath the skin with 2 tbsp melted butter then annatto oil*** on top of the skin only to color the whole turkey .

Bake about 4-4 1/2 hours

While baking remember to baste the turkey, use the turkey baste to squeeze the juice from the bedding into the inside of the turkey, you can also try to taste the juice to make sure it is well seasoned, this will make the turkey tasty and juicy.


At any moment you see any part of the turkey dark enough, cover that part with foil so that it won't get burn . Keep on cover the turkey until it is to the color you want.

At the last moment, you can also turn the oven to broil at 500F, so that the heat will start from the top, this will make the turkey brown but it also will burn it so be sure to watch it minutes to minutes. (I would open the oven and look at it will the broil is on)

--Use the cooking thermometer to test and see if the turkey is about 150 to 160 - this will insure that the turkey is cooked . Press it deep inside the turkey leg to read the temperature .


***to make the annatto oil - in a medium heat pan add 3 Tbsp olive oil, when oil hot enough turn the fire off then put 1n 1 tbsp annatto seed, mix well until the color turn orange (only use the oil discard all the seeds)

Sưu Tầm

Bí quyết luộc gà đẹp và ngon
Cho gà vào lúc nước còn nguội.

Ngày nghỉ, các bà nội trợ muốn chiêu đãi gia đình món gà luộc. Nhưng làm thế nào để gà được ngon và đẹp mắt? Nếu luộc kỹ để bên trong thật chín thì lớp da và thịt bên ngoài bị nhừ; nếu giữ được lớp da ngoài còn độ dai, giòn thì lớp thịt và xương chặt ra còn màu đỏ.

Để khắc phục tình trạng này, bạn nên cho gà vào lúc nước còn nguội để da không bị nứt vỡ. Sau đó luộc gà trong nước sôi tim (sôi lăn tăn không sủi sóng lên). Luộc một con gà nhanh nhất khoảng 20 phút (trung bình là 30 phút), nhưng để gà chín đều, da vàng óng phải mất khoảng 45-60 phút (để lửa nhỏ). Trong trường hợp gà mới lấy ở tủ lạnh ra, thời gian đun phải tăng lên gấp đôi so với bình thường.

Để tạo cho gà có màu vàng óng, trông ngon mắt, tránh tình trạng khi luộc xong da bị sậm, xỉn màu thì khi gà vừa chín tới, bạn cần vớt ra khỏi nước sôi và ngâm ngay vào thau nước lạnh. Ngâm đến khi nào thịt gà nguội hẳn mới nhấc ra. Sau đó, để thịt ráo nước một chút, dùng mỡ đã thắng quét một lớp lên da, gà sẽ có màu vàng bóng và căng mượt, trông rất hấp dẫn.
