How to Cook a Turkey

Should put foil on it and place on trivit

what do you moist it with, every 30 minute? is that water? and do you really leave it in the oven for 2 hours if it is 12LB?

Oh yeah

New sub! Thank you 😋👍

this was super helpful!! i’m happy i came across your video. now im looking for a gravy video because i like how you explain and show the process. if you don’t already have a gravy video you should make a gravy video! :)

I gotta cook thing thing for 4 hours bruh...

You say you’re adding “4 cups of chicken stock” but the on-screen text says “chicken broth.” Are these interchangeable?!

Mine came out perfect! 😃 Thank you so much! 👏🏻

I will admit. I was annoyed when I first watched the video, i just wanted temperates and time. But I went through the whole video and followed your instructions. This was the BEST turkey i have ever had. It tasted amazing. I accidentally put too much rosemary in. It turns out, that is impossible. It was so juicy, and flavorful! Thank you so much, our christmas' and thanksgivings will never be the same.

I’d love to see you do a gravy video!

I am 70 years young. I have cooked many many many turkeys. I had a couple of variations and they were tasty, no complaints from family. BUT, I decided to cook my Turkey your way, and lo and behold, I thought it was the BEST tasting turkey I ever roasted. The butter under the skin created the crispiest dark bird, which we love and the juiciest Turkey. I thought for sure the Turkey was burnt, but no it wasn’t. And I shuddered because I thought the Turkey would be dry with such crispy skin but no, it was delicious!! Thank you!! thank you!!❤ Love all your videos. You’re making a better cook of me.

Btw, I had many people in my family ask me for the recipe when I posted a pix of our bronzed beauty. 😂
❤ Merry Christmas to you and yours.

I made my fist turkey and stuffing using your recipe AND IT WAS A HIT!!!! Thanks of making it so easy and DELISH!

Where can i find the video to make the gravy?

I tried your recipe for thanksgiving yesterday and oh my gawd did it turn out FANTASTIC! The moistest and flavorful turkey I have ever cooked. The leftovers are to die for.😊 Thank you so much!

It worked! Thank you!! It was great!

Decided to try your recipe today for my first turkey EVER. I just about listened to and watched this video about 12 times day of! I added celery and sage in addition to what you had in the turkey and added more spices and fresh parsley to the butter to my liking. HOLY SMOKES. I followed your directions exactly, got my little heat thermometer and everything. I did end up putting foil on the top in the last hour and all was great! The turkey was so juicy that JUICE WAS FLOWING OFF THE CUTTING BOARD. The flavor was insane! And of course I made gravy from the delicious drippings.This was my first year hosting and my guests said it was the best turkey they ever had. You made my holiday, thank you so much! ❤️ much love from my kitchen to yours

Made this today and it looked amazing and was also delicious! Thank you!!

I just follow your recipe today, ànd my Turkey came out great! ❤thank you.

That looks amazing !

What's the gravy drip recipe?

Cut the time of this video in half.

450 for 15 minutes. Reduce to 325. Cook 10-12 minutes for pound.

Hi Is the 10 to 12 mins per pound include the 15 mins at 425 or in addition to?

Once again ! Excellent! This guy really knows it ! 👍

It had to be good he clapped like a black woman at the end

Thank you happy turkey day

Never done the stock on bottom... interesting

You lost me when you stuck needles in the turkey. On to the next video.

I loved this video. I always have to refresh my memory each year because I only cook a turkey once a year

good video. funny character! guess what im doin today? lol.

Thanksgiving 🦃

Like if you’re watching this at 7 in the morning on Thanksgiving day😂

Looks delicious thanks for all your tips, I plan on using them tomorrow 😊

oven heat top or bottom? My oven is top only, or does it not matter?

This video is amazing, I feel so much more confident to cook my thanksgiving turkey tomorrow

Usually I will carve the turkey, and then place the meat (skin side up) back into the pan with the juices it roasted in. It keeps the meat warm and suuuuper juicy. Way better than gravy, but you can still make gravy by frying the neck and veggies from the carcas in butter, then add flour and broth

Thank you !!

My mom taught us the old German way to cook the turkey. U cook it the way it walks/flies. This way the breast meat is at the bottom and gets all of the juices keeping it moist.

temp way too hot

I am back, the best recipe , Thank you AGAIN !!!

So do you include the first 15 mins in the 144 for the 12 pound turkey?

I definitely started your recipe I hope my turkey looks as good as yours

Here I am back again for this year’s bird! Delicious! Thanks man!

2nd time coming back to this recipe i cooked it last year (my wife and I's first thanksgiving married) and it was honestly the best turkey we've ever had thanks again!!!

I bet your favorite part is the wishbone!!!

Thank you for this awesome video. I’m ready to prepare my turkey now.

Please do a gravy video!!! 🙏🏻 happy thanksgiving John. My Thanksgiving would not be the same without you.

Love you ran out of pepper. Keeping’ it real!!! 👊🏻👊🏻

Love this. Thank you.
