Have those who don’t like Turkey had overcooked frozen battery farmed shite rather than a nice free-range organic bird?
I’ve cooked turkey for the last three years and it’s been spot on, dead easy to cook, like chicken but nicer, as long as
a) it’s at room temperature before you stick it in
b) you put butter and sage leaves between the skin and the breast meat
c) don’t bloody stuff the bejesus out of it
d) you leave it to rest for at least an hour, 90 mins is fine and give you time to cook the potatoes
Did a goose the year before that and the smoke from the fat filled the kitchen (although made great roast potatoes).
I do have half a deer in the freezer though so that’s tempting but I reckon it’s harder to cook well than a turkey and I want an easy life on Christmas day 🙂
