TODAY’S MAIN TOPIC:

Proper Thanksgiving Turkey

Making a great turkey is not complicated, but it does require shelving some olf-wives tales and a few basic steps and tools. I always saw my mom basting a turkey, with a flimsy baster that once squired hot juices all over her hand. I don’t recommend basting a turkey, purely a wase of time as it lets heat out, extends cooking times, and causes uneven cooking as the oven has to scramble to come back to temperature. Rubbing the brd with a little olive oil can help aid the browning process but I have achieved great results without doing that either as the skin has enough fat in it to crisp up nicely.

Here are some steps to cooking the perfect moist turkey:

Allow the bird some time to warm up, and remove from the fridge at 7 am the day of Thanksgiving..!
Do not overcook the bird, cook at 350 degrees until the thigh reaches 165. Waiting for a pop-up timer ensures dry breasts, do not wait for that timer….watch your probe thermometer instead.
Do not baste the turkey, just rotate it once after about 1.5 hours
Be sure to add some liquid to the roasting dish, I use water and white wine, about a cup of each, this helps keep the bird from sticking to the pan and also helps give some great flavor to the gravy later on

When my bird reaches temp, I remove it, from the oven and the roaster, I place it on a sheet tray then cover it with foil and towels to keep it warm before I carve it. I then place the roasting dish on the stove and scrape up any bits and stuff on the bottom, all that stuff goes into my gravy pot.

HOMESTEAD TSUNAMI:

Support local farms, especially if they have proteins. I recently bought a bunch of grass-fed and finished beef, pork, and lamb from a local supplier.

ECONOMIC NEWS:

Treasury has to pay back 7.6 trillion to treasury bind holders in the next year, but where are they going to get the money to pay these bondholders? In the next two years, nearly half the national debt will mature…oh GOSH!
