This year I think I have finally convinced my mum that we should have an xmas turkey. Previously she's said no as turkey is too dry etc etc.Does anyone have a truly amazing stuffing recipe and/or cooking time instructions for a moist turkey roast?

The perfect thanks giving/ christmas turkey

don't over cook the bird, that's a common mistake resulting in dry meat.The oven bag is a very good tactic.also, you can soak cheese-cloth in butter and cover the bird with it. Then keep basting it every 20-30 min.As for stuffing, I come from an englidh family so it's mostly sausage meat with bread, sage & onion. It saves time to cook it separately rather than actually stuffed. Also, an un-stuffed bird will cook fully in less tima allowing the meat to stay moist.hope that helps a bit

http://www.todaysturkey.com.au/perfect-high-protein-foods/turkey-cuts/frozenFollow the instructions and viola! Honestly, for a frozen bird it's really damn good. Okay, maybe not thanksgiving good, but if you feel like easy, cheap turkey during the week I highly recommend it.

Thats what I usually cook, it's good but i feel like I'm copping out and I really wanna try cooking a real turkey.6 hours? really?! What temp oven? I got a big 4. 75kg frozen bird and some gigantic oven bags too. I will denfinatly give one of those stuffing ideas a go, sounds yum.Thanks for your help

Fuck oven cooked turkey. Fry that fucker. It take a fraction of the time and it's great. It's nice and juicy. Contrary to what you think it's not as greasy as oven cooked and though I wouldn't swear to it they say it's healthier. It may be if it's not as greasy. Here's a link. I use to think it sounded awful but after having it I'll never go back to one of those dried out oven cooked bastards again.

I've heard it's great but I've seen too many disaster videos of the process. That's why, for years and years, both UL and CSA refused to ever certify any turkey frier.

It's not that dangerous. If you use a little common fuckin' sense. ....Oh, what am I saying.A few simple ways to avoid disaster. Follow the fuckin' directions measure out the volume of oil before throwing the fucker in a vat of boiling oil. Turn the flame off temporally when lower the fuckin' bird into the hot oil. Do it out in the driveway or yard away from other fuckin' combustible shit. Everybody should have a fuckin' grease fire extinguisher anyway and should have it ready when droppin' the turkeys ass into the damn oil.Simple fuckin' common sense shit that most people lack the damn brains to think about.Your a smart guy, and don't seem to lack common sense. You have all my fuckin' faith that you can successfully fry a turkey. Don't let the dim-witted dumb shits who burn up their fuckin' houses and selves keep you from enjoying something so fuckin' good.

what are you getting at? Don't beat around the bush buddy, just speak up. tell me what's on yer mind there

I guess my depression is getting the better of me. That is a lot of "fucks" for something as simple as cooking a bird. Anyway, use a little caution and try it. It's well worth the risk.

Yeah my depression manifests itself by my going off on irrational trivial shit that has no bearing on any assholes life. I, one day, hope to be that crazoid standing at the intersection shaking his fist and cussing at you assholes, for no fuckin' apparent reason, as you drive by.

I actually find ranting and raving does wonders for my mood!My life has been a bit of a festering swamp lately but the Canadian political climate is absoluetly nuts these days so I can be easily distracted.
-
Right about now a festering swamp sounds like a great diversion from this tedium. I just wish I could give a shit about politics. For some reason I quit giving a shit about that a few months back, which is strange for me. I used to love a good argument and pointing out to people how wrong they are. Now even that's rather hollow.Go fry a fuckin' turkey, ya "UL" pussy! I bet you've never been called a "UL pussy" before.
-
I wish we could just get together for a good old fasioned FTW pissup! It may only be a temporary solution but it's good for the soul... and bad for the liver :smile:

strangely, no I haven't. Not even a CSA Sissy!
-
See I wouldn't have called you a "CSA sissy" even though I had to deal with them fuckers on the Talking Hands Casino. I would have called you an ANSI asshole. I big pissup sounds good to me but a road trip of a few days needs to involved as well. Women of low moral virtue are also a plus. But I'm getting picky. Just a big Fuck you to the world would be nice.

-
yes, but it's those turkey juices hiding way down in the centre that pose the risks if the bird isn't very well cooked. It really does make the stuffin tast better though!but, as I mentioned, my good old (cough-healthy-cough) English stuffin contains more saussage than anything else so it never dries out
