How to Carve a Turkey… Everything you need to know in 30 seconds. At the end of the day, the right to equal turkey skin is decided by the nominated slicer of the family… so if that is you, use this information as you see fit 😉. Check out my last videos for Turkey recipes! I will be posting a couple more this week. #turkey #howto #thanksgiving

Smoked & Deep Fried Turkey… Don’t get me wrong, I love my spatchcock/dry brined recipes. But if you want to take things to the next level, this method is pretty tough to beat! IMPORTANT: Deep frying turkey is no joke… Only use this method if you have a dedicated turkey frying setup, and follow all directions closely. Other notes: -Rest turkey for at least 20 minutes -During rest, turkey will increase in temp by ~20F degrees. This allows you to safely pull at 150F internal in the breast, while keeping it juicy. -Drop turkey in fryer with the “legs/dark meat facing down”. This should help the dark meat cook faster. In my case, the internal temp of the dark meat was already 165F even though the white meat was only 150F, which is ideal. -Use homemade chicken stock in the injection if possible. You always hear people say this, but I’m telling you it makes a big difference! -Keep an eye on the color. If turkey skin gets too dark too soon, reduce heat. #thanksgiving #turkey #deepfried #smokedturkey

The Perfect Thanksgiving Turkey… Deciding how to cook your Thanksgiving turkey can be stressful! I’ve gotten tons of messages about how to cook the perfect turkey so I will be posting various turkey and Thanksgiving recipes this week and next! There’s a few things we need to prioritize: Crispy skin, juicy white meat and timing… The key to all of these is “spatchcocking”. Crispy skin: The flat shape of a spatchcocked turkey faces all the skin upwards, allowing us to cook evenly at a higher temp. Juicy meat: The exposed dark meat will cook faster and finish 20F degrees hotter than the lean breast meat, for optimal internal temps. If cooked whole (not spatchcocked), the turkey would need to be pulled at around 160-165F, at which point the breasts would be over cooked, thighs undercooked. Timing: Lastly, the thinner shape allows an average sized turkey to be done in about 1.5 hours! Dry brining is another important step (avoid if turkey is pre-brined), and the compound butter adds additional richness. It imparts flavor under the skin, but perhaps more importantly, leaves us with buttery herb drippings that can be used to moisten up the turkey prior to serving. Note: the USDA recommends cooking turkey to 165F (at this temp, poultry is pasteurized immediately). However pasteurization is a combination of temperature AND time. After pulling at 150, it will carry over to 160F during the rest, for a fully pasteurized (and way more juicy) turkey. Check out the full recipe on my website!

Steak School: T-Bone… The smaller tenderloin inherently cooks faster than the larger NY strip, which is a problem because the tenderloin is the one cut on the cow that truly shines when cooked to rare (imo). The bone separating both steaks also poses a problem. The sides of the tenderloin and strip that are touching bone cook a lot slower than the edges which are exposed to air. That’s why you’ll often see overcooked edges, while the bone side is still extremely rare. Lastly when buying this steak in a store, it isn’t as simple as choosing a porterhouse with the largest tenderloin possible. Porterhouses with the largest tenderloin come from the back of the animal, and generally have lower quality strips. IMO the best strip steaks are taken as close to the ribeyes as possible (towards the front of the animal), so in the context of a porterhouse, a large tenderloin can lead to a chewy strip. It’s a balance between a quality strip, and a larger tenderloin. Despite these complications, t-bones and porterhouses are a lot of fun to cook, and with care, can come out great! Which cut do you want to learn about next? Shout out to @Alpine Butcher for the shortloin roast! #porterhouse #filetmignon #steakschool #nystrip #tbone #learning

Parm Wheel Dry Aged Steak… It’s the parmesan wheel that keeps on giving… I finally used it up in this video and it was our best tasting dry age to date. One of the benefits of dry aging is a more concentrated beef flavor that is often described as “funky”. A word that is also used to describe aged cheese like parmesan. Sometimes the dry age “funk” can be too intense on the palate, but the cheese rounded it out with added richness and umami. It was REALLY good.

The World’s Crispiest Turkey… There are infinite Thanksgiving turkey methods and all of them have their pros and cons. Some lead to the juiciest meat but chewy skin, while others have the crispiest skin but often lead to dry meat. This method allows you to slowly smoke or roast your turkey for ultimate juiciness while cooking the skin separately for guaranteed crispiness. Simply remove the turkey skin, ideally season then place on a rack for a few hours to dry out, then roast. I roasted at 350F for 10 minutes, flipped and continued roasting, finally cranking the heat to 450F to get it bubbly. Add some weights during the first 10 minutes or so to help it keep its shape. Fried herbs are another great touch that adds a pop of texture and color. I used chopped sage and rosemary, and after about a minute in 350F oil they get super crunchy. Let me know if you try this one! Guest chiropractor appearance: @Dr. Alex #turkey #thanksgiving #crispy #thanksgivingrecipe #smokedturkey #turkeyrecipe #dinnerrecipe

#ad Pork Chop Accordion…   The beauty of a bone-in pork chop is you get two cuts in one, the tender ribeye as well as a meaty baby back rib. Combined with the accordion shape for flavor penetration, and you’re left with some really fun (and tasty) presentation! #ad   For flavorful, tender and SAFE pork, cook whole muscle cuts (loin roasts, tenderloin, chops) until a meat thermometer reads 145⁰F with a 3-minute rest.   Recipe: 4 pork chops ~1.5 inches thick (with the rib meat attached)   Marinade: 1/2 cup hoisin sauce 1/4 cup soy sauce  4 tablespoons dark brown sugar  1 tablespoon five-spice powder  3 finely chopped garlic cloves 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger  2 teaspoons red food coloring    Candied Bacon: 1 package of thick-cut bacon (use roughly half) 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce 3 tablespoons maple syrup 1 teaspoon brown sugar ½ teaspoon lemon zest   Garnish: 1 tablespoon sliced chives   Pork is truly one of the most versatile proteins to work with.
