THANKSGIVING THREAD!

[Anonymous No.7099162]

Hey fellow Ameri/ck/ans,

I was wondering what kind of thanksgiving lineups you guys have planned. Or at least, if you're not hosting, what you plan on bringing to the feast (or what you would like to eat!).

I'm looking for a little inspiration. I'm supposed to keep it kosher this year, which doesn't seem too difficult, but that does mean I have to ditch pork.

In short, let's share our favorite recipes/foods/sexy turkey images, etc...

Whatever mcdonalds is selling that day.

[Anonymous No.7100019]

I'm 25 and for most Thanksgivings, if not all, I ate at grandma's house. The woman is well into her 80s now and I'm sure she'll cook this year even though my great aunt (her sis) is hosting Thanksgiving dinner this year. She always cooked turkey, roasted pork, ham, rice dressing, mac and cheese, peas, potato salad - sometimes if my sister brought a dish there would be sweet potatoes and green bean casserole. We're from the south, so we just cook a heftier version of what we'd cook at any cookout. Me and my sister wanted to do a more "traditional" Thanksgiving with mashed potatoes and gravy, cornbread dressing, regular green beans and such but it turns out we're going to my aunties. The only thing I'm looking forward to for my aunt's Thankgiving is her cornbread dressing IF she cooks that. Cornbread dressing is freaking amazing.

My third time hosting thanksgiving for my family. I've been brining a 13 pound fresh ham for the past week almost. Taking it out of the brine tonight. Gonna dry it and air it out in the fridge overnight. After that, I'm going to glaze it and vacuum seal it. Sous Vide at 64.5 C until day of. Re-glaze, then lightly smoke it until people start showing up.
Also making the following - Turkey roulade, Pecan pie, cornbread, cinnamon glazed carrots, red potato green bean salad, molasses baked beans, shallot rosemary sweet potatoes, roasted pumpkin quiche with carmelized onions.
The wife is making her apple pie and her ambrosia. Her mom is making dressing.

Last year I followed Chef John's video about deboning a turkey and it came out amazing. I did a traditional cornbread stuffing inside because I was catering to my father and grandparents who are picky as fuck and like the same stuff every year.

This time I want to debone that fucker again, but this time I am looking for something better to put inside of it. Any ideas?

Oh yeah, when I was younger I worked at Wal-Mart on Thanksgiving. Been a couple of years.

It's easy work really. I just had to stand around and yell at people.

If you want my advice - eat a big meal before you go, and then take your lunch really late. I think I took mine like 6 hours in, after all the Black Friday shit was over.

Then you'll get out, you'll only have a couple of hours left, and if you just kill time, nobody will fuck with you.

Sorry you work at Wal-Mart my man. If it's anything like my store was though, you'll get a sick discount on everything in the store, so you can get some nice electronics and shit.

No matter what you do and no matter how drunk, don't forget to the bag of giblets out before putting the bird in the oven. I did that the first time I did a full turkey dinner but I rememberd after about a half hour so it didn't spoil the thing.

That would have been a serious disaster and why it's good to reread the instructions after a time to make sure everything is right.

So /ck/ I offered to cook for my family when I come back. I don't do a WHOLE lot of cooking, but I figure the only thing I can really fuck up will be the turkey, and they'd probably appreciate it more than just picking up a bunch of food and what not. Even if I do fuck it up, the chicken and dumpings I make will make up for it.

I've never prepared a turkey before, and know nothing about it. (Hell I usually have never even liked turkey, hence why I'm preparing it)

Anything I should know? Any guides? I was gonna do a honey glaze.

Should I brine it in some salt water beforehand?

[Anonymous No.7102626]

>>7102609

Roasting a turkey is no different from roasting any other cut of meat in the oven so if you can roast a chicken, ham, beef, etc, it works the same way.

Turkey is very lean so it can easily get dry. Brining would be a good idea to help fight that. Or make sure you use a thermometer to ensure you pull it out of the oven before it gets overcooked.

[Anonymous No.7102634]

>>7102609
Just remember to take the bag of giblets out of the turkey before cooking it.

It's real easy, just follow the Betty Crocker instructions. I did the first time and it came out damn awesome. Also make sure that the bird isn't too big for your oven. Fuck brining, everyone says brine this, brine that and it's fucking useless, like soaking beans overnight.

My mom and eldest sister always do the cooking as they refuse to let others do any cooking (yet complain when no one helps the prepping) They will no doubt end up either mad at each other or mad at someone else throw a hissy thus making the holiday miserable. Then we turn around and do the same for Christmas. Doesn't help that when they or someone else decides to invite someone to dinner they try too hard to show off and end up fucking up dishes left and right. I wish I had friends who didn't have their own families or I'd have my own damn Thanksgiving dinner.

My oven should be big enough. I left the turkey shopping to my parents since OBVIOUSLY I don't live at home anymore and it's a 3 hour drive. Tbh I have good luck brining my chicken for about 30 minutes though.

Make sure your family already put the turkey in the fridge to defrost. Would suck to get ready on thursday to roast and find it frozen still.

I made a deboned chicken as practice. Not a bad result for my first time cooking anything that requires actual skill.
I followed Pepin's video and mangled it a bit.
The growth hormone they use on the only chickens you can buy in the average grocery store made it more difficult than it needed to be. More meat.
I'm also not sure how Pepin cuts through joints so easily and cleanly. Maybe I just need a heavier knife or to just lift.

Any basic as fuck tasty recipes for a Guy who's never made turkey?

[vodka-san No.7103622]

>>7102609
Brine solution:
- 1litre water
- 1litre apple cider
- 100g kosher salt
- 1 large bunch of parsley
- 1 large bunch of sage
- 2 large bunch of thyme
- 6 cloves (lightly toasted)
- 2 star anise (lightly toasted)
- 3 bay leaves
- 1 lemon (skin peeled, juiced)

Instructions:
1. Place all the ingredients except the fresh herbs into a pan over high heat and bring to a boil.
2. When the solution comes to a boil, turn off the heat and add in the fresh herbs.
3. When cool, pour this mixture into a container with your Turkey, and brine overnight (preferably 12hrs).
4. Remove the Turkey, rinse off the brine solution and pat dry. Place in a pan, uncovered and into the fridge to allow to the surface of the meat and skin to air dry. It's best to leave it like this for 1 whole day.
5. Remove the Turkey from the fridge 2hrs prior to roasting to allow it to come to room temperature. Pre-heat the oven to 325F.
6. Roast the turkey in the preheated oven until it reaches a internal temperature of 155-160F. Allow it to rest for 20-30mins before carving.

Hope's this helps, and Happy Thanksgiving.

You can do a potato and cheese gratin, basically scalloped potatoes with cheese in the mixture.

Ingredients:
- 5lbs potatoes (washed, peeled, sliced thinly)
- 2cups half and half
-300 cheese (preferably a strong aged cheddar)
- 1 large bunch of fresh thyme
- 2 bay leaves
- 3 cloves of garlic (pureed)
- 1tsp nutmeg (freshly grated if possible)
- 3tbsp butter

Instructions:
1. In a pan, heat the half and half with the garlic, thyme and bay over medium high heat until it just comes to a boil.
2. Generously butter a large shallow baking dish. Preheat the oven to 350F.
3. Layer the baking dish with potatoes and cheese in alternating layers. The very top should have a layer of cheese covering it. Seasoning with salt, pepper and nutmeg throughout.
4. Carefully pour the warm half and half mixture over the potatoes. Cover with a sheet of aluminum foil that has been greased with a little extra butter or olive oil.
5. Place the dish into the oven and cook for approximately 1.5-2hrs. The baking time will vary based on the number of other items in your oven, how thick you cut the potatoes, how deep your baking dish is, etc. The potatoes should be ready when you insert a knife and it pierces into the dish with no resistance.
6. When the potatoes are cooked, remove the aluminum foil and place the dish under the broiler for a few mins in order to caramelize the top.
7. Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to sit and cool for 30-45mins. It's important to allow it to release to give time for the starch to thicken and the potatoes to compose themselves. Otherwise it'll just fall apart.

Notes:
- You can make this dish ahead of time in order to take less pressure off you when you're preparing the Turkey, but omit step 6. When you're ready to serve you can reheat it while caramelizing the top at the same time instead.

No, no sourdough stuffing. Never made one of sourdough, actually. I usually make my stuffing from potato brioche.

However, we bought cubes of dry cornbread and a roll of sage sausage for dad to make sausage dressing.

It sounds a lot better than it actually is. His stuffing/dressing tends to be mushy.

He wants me to drive him to a different supermarket tomorrow evening. I'll have a better idea what he's planning then. For now, the only certainties are turkey (we bought a small 14-pounder), slurry thickened "gravy" and mushy sausage/cornbread dressing.

If you have never brined or roasted a turkey, I highly recommend you get some salt pork and look up barding the turkey. Basically you wash the salt pork super well and just cook it layered in salt pork. Will baste the bird during roasting and requires zero brining ahead of time. Just RINSE WELL or your bird will be super fucking salty.

Small turkey? No problem. Can you roast a chicken? Same thing, really.

If frozen, thaw it. (If it's in your freezer now, that means get it into your fridge now.)

I do a stuffing of sausage/veggies/dried bread - cook sausage in pan, add veggies until translucent, sop up some remaining grease with bread. Using bigass spoon, stuffing goes into cavity while it's still hot. Incredibly less likely to act as a heat sink when the bird's cooking and result in cold interior and screaming turboshits the day after.

Ever tried making a herbed butter and squishing it under the skin of the breast? Damn thing practically bastes itself. This technique works every bit as well with a 11-lb turkey as it does with a 5-lb chicken.

Take it out of the oven when the thermometer (if you don't have one, get one) registers 170F in the breast. Towards the end of cooking time, check every 10 minutes. If you find the thighs are still leaking red/raw juices while the breast is around 150-160F at the breast, cover those boobs with tinfoil and give it another 20-30 minutes. Keep checking every 10, just in case. It'll gain a few more degrees while it rests prior to carving.

It'll be fine. You'll do fine. When in doubt, remember. It's just a giant chicken.

You could go for a Charlie Brown themed appetizer selection. Its not that impressive, but its easy and you would have to sell it:

Charlie Brown thanksgiving apps:
Popcorn (feel free to make it fancy)
Toast squares (make 'em bite size, spread something)
and I think they had cold cereal in the thanksgiving special as well. You will have to be more creative than I to find something with that.

Entirely unnecessary if you cook it properly.

This will lead to splotchy skin because of the moisture content of butter. Use oil.

This will lead to soggy skin. Nobody likes soggy turkey skin.

Question Amerifriends: what do distinctly, for lack of a better term, "ethnic" Americans eat for Thanksgiving? I don't mean your average, indistinctly white Joe Schmo sorta guy and his family, but more like what would Esteban Rodriguez', Na Yen Chen's, Antonio Mancini's and Shaqueefa Jones' families eat for Thanksgiving?

I ask because I thought I'd split the turkey next year (this year, my halfmerican dad from >>7103954 is doing all the cooking), using the spine and wingtips to make stock for gravy, roasting one half and using the other half in a curry or cacciatora.
Would this be a celebration of the melting pot that is USican culture or an afront to tradition?

I'm cooking turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, green beans (with almonds, tossed in a lemon vinaigrette), carrots (orange-glazed, with ginger), and rolls. The rolls I'm making this year are my take on cornbread; 25% cornmeal, but I cook the cornmeal into polenta before adding it to the dough, this gives soft, bready rolls that also taste like cornbread.

Relatives are bringing stuffing, cranberries, and two desserts - got to leave them something to contribute.

Brining is worth it - sometimes.

1. many turkeys come pre- injected/soaked and don't really need more salt
2. brine = salty water. "Dry Brining" is a just salting meat before cooking (you should do this with all meat)
3. a brine (bordering on marinade, technically) can include a moderately acidic component to tenderize the meat even further (can be good for a tougher critter, or bad since it can make tender meat mushy).

Update here for anyone interested. I baked a loaf of sourdough bread to use as the base to my stuffing. It's cubed and sitting in my oven overnight to stale a bit. Beautiful loaf. Then I also have some dried figs and cranberries soaking in calvados.

So basically, the stuffing is going to be...
onion, celery, cranberry, fig, (tart) apple, pork sausage, sage, and rosemary. Deciding on whether to use the turkey bones and try to make a stock for the stuffing, but I don't think I'll have time so I'll just use chicken stock.

Nah, we all love rosemary, so I'm sticking with that. Thanks for the suggestion, though. I do like fennel, but I don't know about all the other family members, fennel is one of those vegetables that some people seem to really dislike. Besides, the flavor of the turkey won't affect the gravy, since I'm (right now) finishing up some turkey stock that I'm going to use for the gravy. I make the gravy ahead of the bird being done, so everything doesn't have to wait while I make gravy at the last minute.

Believe it or not, it's easier to cook a turkey breast to moist and delicious perfection on its own than it is to cook a whole turkey that way.
For that reason, a few years back, I bought a Thanksgiving turkey and broke it down, roasting the breast only. I saved the thighs to roast another time and smoked the drums and wings.

>>7107324
Thanks for letting me know.
I live in a heavily ItaloAmerican area and the supermarket Thanksgiving catering options around here all include lasagne or manicotti as the main instead of turkey, which got me thinking about how TG might divide along ethnic lines.
Today, I asked an Algerian coworker and she said that after I taught her to cook American soulfood, she just cooks that stuff for the meal, swapping out bacon for smoked beef plate (IE beef bacon) and chicken sausage for pork sausage for things like collards and stuffing and stuff like that.
She makes yam-mallow (with vegan marshmallows because she's Muzzie) as a dessert.

>>7106644
So here's what I bought yesterday to cook today to be reheated tomorrow: asparagus for asparagus soufflé (sounds fancy, but it ain't; once reheated, it won't rise again, but the taste will still be superb), purple yams for purple yam pie (flavoured only with a little vanilla extract, no autumnal spices), spinach, and the fixings for my vanilla ice cream. I also bought some chickpea galettes, quince jam and brie.
Dad bought fennel bulbs for after meal, "lamb violin" (basically prosciutto but made from lamb's leg rather than hog's), several lettuces for salad (rocket, radicchio and endive and some others, but I don't recall what they were), mushrooms and peas.

So, we're having the turkey with cornstarch-thickened "gravy" and sides of mushy-ass dressing/stuffing, stuffed mushrooms, asparagus soufflé, and stir-fried spinach. Then a salad thereafter.
Aftermeal will be brie, galettes, quince jam, fennel and lamb violin followed by purple yam pie and vanilla ice cream.

Three reasons:
1) stuffing, like most other things, expands as it heats up
1a) the expansion makes the turkey far more dense, meaning it will take far more time to cook the stuffing to safe temperature meaning that by the time the stuffing's done, the turkey's overcooked and dry.
1b) as it expands, air flow approaches zero; air flow helps with getting a nice texture to the stuffing

2) presentation; it simply looks nicer plating the turkey on the serving platter with the stuffing just pouring out of it

I don't think the pop-up timer works that way. It detects the temperature at the deepest part of the thigh. It's might be faulty somehow. Depending on the ratio between how good your knife skills are and how much you care about presentation, you can make a covert incision into the deepest part of the opposite thigh and check if juices run clear and it looks cooked through at that part there. That may help you.
Really, you ought to get a new thermometer, Anon. Aldi sells a wonderful wireless one. I use mine mostly in the summer when I'm barbecuing: just insert the sensor into the meat, plug its other end into the base and carry the just-about-the-size-of-a-NDS receiver with you, making sure both the receiver and the base are turned on.

My thanksgiving lineup:
>Cranberry Sauce
-made from scratch with whole cranberries, substituted some juice for grenadine for an extra kick
>Mashed Potatoes
-Pretty standard for my usual lineup, I personally enjoy Yukon Gold and make my taters extra creamy.
>Pecan and pear salad
-Nothing special to say, but it will be delicious
>Stuffing
-Not sure why so many people hate on stuffing. I'm not cooking it in the bird, just taking the celery, carrots, etc out of it and cooking with the dried garlic bread I have ready.
>Gravy
-Going to make a really dark roux and add chicken stock and all the drippings from the bird when it's done later today.
>Duh Big Burd
-Filling the cavity with carrots, celery, onion, parsley, and dill. Going to rub the inside with honey, butter, and seasoning, and the outside with the same sans honey. Last year I did honey both inside and out and the outside got too caramelized and crisp, wasn't a fan.

And for dessert:
>Mini pumpkin and pecan pies
-Always love pumpkin pie (with an unhealthy amount of whipped cream), and trying out pecan for the first time this year. I don't have a good recipe but I'll wing it and see what happens.
>Mulled wine
-Another thing I haven't done before. Worst case scenario I scrap this idea and just serve the wine I have as is.

Brussels probably could've been on a bit longer and with some type of oil or butter in the pan to help soften the insides. What I typically do is blanch them, half them, let them cool/drain, put in a med heat pan cut side down and cover for a few minutes. If you cover them first and then let them breathe to finish after you turn them, you can still get crispy outsides with nice soft delicious insides.

We always have candied yams, greens and ham hocks, black eyed peas, okra, cornbread, ham, grits, catfish, turkey, macaroni n cheese, fatback, fried chicken, chitlins, pigs feet, hog maw, neckbones, peach cobbler, and sweet potato pie. Give or take. Northern blacks tend to avoid stuff like pig feet.

I have no fucking clue how white people can eat pumpkin pie. Just no.

Hormones were used in poultry to make them larger until the FDA told them to stop that shit.The use of hormones is what created the larger breeds, which basically fucked their genetic code and tricked nature into thinking their size was normal.

Thank you.

People who say "LA" when talking about Los Angeles trigger me.

Intradasting.

So after what I said in >>7109346, there was one change: I woke up in early yesterday morning to start making ice cream. I guess I destroyed the freezing bowl. See, the last time I used it was in September and I absentmindedly washed it in hot water. I remember half-freaking out because the instructions say to never expose the freezing bowl to hot water. Now I guess I know why: whatever special liquid is inside the bowl's walls just won't freeze correctly after prolonged exposure to heat. Oh well.
So the ice cream just wouldn't set.
Instead! I froze it in ice cube trays, then blitzed it in the blender. The texture was horrid, but the flavour was just as good as any other ice cream I'v emade.
The sourdough was delicious, though one of the two loaves did split a little at the bottom.
Stuffed mushrooms were good. Asparagus soufflé reheated nicely. Eggy peas were great. Yesterday, I decided to make butter parsnips and carrots with caraway, celery seed and parsley, as well, because it only takes like 10-20 minutes and with zero work other than grinding the spices.
Dad's stuffing was invariably mushy. His turkey invariably dry. His gravy was a little different. I hadn't noticed that he bought "instant turkey gravy granules." He still made the stock, still added the giblets (other than the liver, since he hates liver), but instead of cornstarch, he used these granulated things.
It was bad.
All in all, the saving grace were the greens and the purple pie.
Shitty Thanksgiving food for me.

Oh, I asked my sister in law what she had for Thanksgiving growing up. She's three quarters Puerto Rican and a quarter Chamorro. Her family had roast turkey as well as slow-roasted suckling pig because her family is fuckhugic. Other than boiled cabbage, the sides were "ethnic." The ones I remember were rice and cowpeas, red rice, beans and titiyas.

Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's bad. Home made is amazing, store bought is usually shit, bakery bought is awriiight.

I don't even know if pumpkin pie=white is a valid stereotype. I live in Chicago, so I've been renting apartments and shit with black people since I moved out. My roommates always eat my pumpkin pie and there are no leftovers this year. I make pumpkin bars instead of pie so it's a huge batch instead of multiple pies. Maybe the shape confuses then into trying it.

Who else left over turkey sandwich here?

I wish they would leave the organs and sweetbreads in the Turkey carcass so that after it's roasted there are even more leftovers to make sandwiches with.
