I have to be honest, this is one of those things that I’ve found myself doing on a regular basis. I’ll admit it sometimes, but I’ve been known to eat turkey later in the day. Thanksgiving is a busy time of year, and I know I’ll be hungry.
You’d be surprised how many people, myself included, will eat turkey that much. I am not the only one who eats turkey that much, but I am the only one who eats it on such a regular basis.
I think most people have probably noticed this, but cooking a turkey is one of those things that is best done in advance. It is also easy to overdo it. Just remember to cover the whole bird after cooking and allow the juices to run out before serving.
Well, of course. The amount of pressure you put on a turkey to get it to cook properly is really, really huge and can only be endured for so long. First, it must be cooked all the way through, which means no more than 10 minutes of cooking time. Because that’s it. That’s all I’m going to say about that.
To put it bluntly, turkey is one of the most difficult foodstuffs to overcook. It is like a difficult meatloaf: you either can’t or shouldn’t overcook it in the first place. But when you overcook it, the rest of the food just gets mushy and it becomes tough and dry. And if you can’t cook it well enough, you end up with a dry, tough, mushy mess.
If you can cook your turkey in a skillet it doesn’t matter if it’s cooked in the oven or on a sheet pan. Just let it stew for several minutes and then put it on a platter.
This is a common tip for new cooks. Put your turkey on a plate, put a pan of water next to it, set it over the water, and put the lid on. Let the water and turkey cook for several minutes. Then put the lid back on and cook the rest of the turkey in the same way.
If you want to grill your turkey it actually is a good idea to put a piece of foil over the breast and put a knife under the foil and cut it into small pieces. Once it’s done, put it away and let it stew for about five minutes.
Don’t have a turkey on your plate. If you do, place it in a large bowl. Put it on a plate or to a plate. You should still get a good feel for the flavor of the turkey, but you shouldn’t have to. Try to cook it the same way as you did with the turkey. If possible, put the turkey in a food processor.
There are a couple of tricks to this, one of which is to cook it in a large pot with a lid so the turkey cooks evenly. It still may not be the same as cooking it in a pan directly over the flame, but I feel that its a good technique to get a feel for the flavor. Another trick is to put the dish onto a tray and put it in the fridge.
