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 …
I love this recipe! Delicious! I will do this for the third time for Christmas. mmmm.
He actually has an entire episode about deep fried turkeys.
The perfect way to cook a brined turkey. Works great every time. Alton Browne is a culinary genius!
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.
Took your advice even with the brine. I’ve had a lot of good turkey, but his one is going in the book.
i also like his show too
but we stuff our turkeys an we have been doign that for 50 years back
you cant get any better stuffing
@cherd1971 Sacrificing the turkey for stuffing? Blasphemy! D:
Thanksgiving and all of its accompanying traditions began as a pagan feast, honoring Pagan agricultural gods, which dates back thousands of years. A goose used to be the main course for the Pagan harvest festivals .These birds representing the sun god and was replaced by the more common turkey in America.
The Pilgrims observed a Three Day thanksgiving in the fall of 1621,this was the same way , Pagan Rome celebrated there Pagan goddess Ceres in Rome and Athens
Looks like a turkey did not like this video
stfup alton with the boring talk and cook the fucking turkey and slice that shit already!!
I did this recipe a couple years ago. I came out great! The turkey was picked clean by everyone, not a drop of gravy touched the moist breast meat!
how long for a 21-lb bird?
I like it!!! I am going to make it this way to see how it comes. I do agree about the stuffing… to much of a mess. I like him.. : – ) his so funny. I got to check out his cooking videos.
@StackedDeckMusic About 4:30 hours. Check temps at about the 4 hour mark.
If your citing 4:30 from some chart and your using Alton’s method you’re
going to be shocked….this will cook faster ….last 2 yrs my 19 1b turkey was
done in approx 3 hrs!
Use this every year…works like a charm!
In regards to Turkey time. Notice he has a very shallow pan and the entire turkey is above the pan. if your pan is deep and your rack keeps part of the turkey below the pan then it will take much longer to cook. Maybe 1-2 hours depening on thickness of the pan (the pan is reflecting the heat away)
If you get a ton of smoke when you do the 500 degree roast then next time or this time you should poor 2.5 cups of water into the pan

DO NOT add sugar to this brine recipe, or that 500 degrees for thrity minutes part, WILL cause the turkey to brown MUCH more than one would like. I found out the hard way.
