'Eh what? I can defend my post if I want.

So

The Pilgrims cooked turkey before us too and they boiled them. So there. Na. Na.

Yes you do. Start your turkey upside down.

I do that for part of the cooking. Never did it before RouxBe tho'. Got that from them too. And they say not to stuff the thing. My mother never taught me anything about cooking it turns out.

I have the ability to cook my turkey breast side down for a while. I'm reasonably certain you can do that in your oven.

Beat me to it.

By the time the stuffing registers 165, the breast meat will usually be significantly higher (and thus, dry).

Once it goes in the bag, how will I know which side is up?

I did too.


I do that. Got that from those Heathens at RouxBe too. :evil:

Until I came along, no one ever ate the dark meat (insert stupid sex joke here), so M-I-L put it in the stuffing so it wouldn't go to waste. :shake:

It's not about defending your post. You claim that there's more than one way to skin a cat, but the you go about saying you don't stuff the bird because of the problem with dry breast meat. Well, as you note....


There's more than one way to skin a cat.

:eek:

Nah, all the wonderful juices that pour into the breast meat from the dark meat for the first 3 hours fixes that.

Try it sometime. I'm a smart lady. So is BEP and JPB. Well, he's not a lady, but he's seen one up close.

Cat gets dry when you cook stuffing in it, too.

No, I am only saying that's how I do it and why. Frankly, I don't mind or care how anyone else prefers it.

I responded to your "heathen" comment. Tho' I didn't take that term literally, and it seemed in jest partly, I thought I defend why and that is why. But they said it, not me. I just quoted them because well...they are the pros. It was never my idea to start with, I just got it from them but is why I do it that way now.

If you're eating pussy that's at 165 degrees, you're doing it wrong.
