But not choking on it after to many Sazerac Cocktails is it’s own reward.

I discovered this last night. In an unfortunate abundance.

Damned tasty.

Doesn’t it also mean that you’re the one who has to throw the party next year? Or am I thinking of something else?

Who cares?! I’m the king! I’ll just order someone to do it for me.

But I think you are technically correct.

Why do I want to wipe down the sides of the bowl with a Twinkie?

My first attempt at a totally deboned turkey.

My wife got a couple 20lb turkeys at Thanksgiving for 6 bucks each. I figured I’d give it a try.

It took me an hour to totally debone it. I only wasted the wing tips and some of the legs because I couldn’t get all the tendons out.

A 20lb bird got me 10lbs of meat.

No recipe, just rub it with some olive oil and what ever seasoning we had on hand.

Long prep time but so much easier to serve and slice up for sandwiches later.

It sliced up nice.

Looks like a great job! Turkey is not just for Thanksgiving, we have it often.
Also the bones for a soup broth.

wow! as much as i don’t really like turkey, your turkey roll looks delectibly awesome!
how is it on the dry/juicy scale? is it ■■■■■? (hehe) seasoning is important to me as i am no fan of sage. most turkey seasonings are heavy on the sage (Bell’s).
looks like a lot of work, but it came out lovely!

All the videos I watched were smaller turkeys and they rolled up without overlapping. Mine was huge and when I rolled it up quite a bit of skin ended up on the inside. I think, because of the extra fat on the inside, it came out more juicy. It was nice to have a bit of skin with each slice.

I used fresh ground pepper, some garlic salt, and (don’t shoot me) some Lawry’s seasoned salt.

It was still a little frozen on the inside after 5 days in the fridge making it a little harder to get the bones out.

Definitely gonna do it again. Next time I’m sticking it in a rotisserie basket and doing it outside.

How did it come out?
I never have any luck making it on a stove. But on an electric skillet it comes out perfectly for me.

My wife is from the Kansai region of Japan. It’s home cooking/soul food for her. Her friends who came from Tokyo are always impressed by her Okonomiyaki skills.
