Maple Butter-Glazed Turkey That Will Upgrade Your Thanksgiving | From The Test Kitchen | Bon Appétit

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Join Chris Morocco in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as he makes his maple-butter-glazed turkey recipe. Since this method involves breaking down the bird into parts before roasting, instead of a last-minute carving marathon, once it's done simply remove the breasts, slice, and you're ready to go. Less stress? Better turkey? Those are some traditions we can get behind.

    The way I’ve found to explain it is, “Sure it looks like a lot of salt, but think about how much meat is on that bird. All that salt needs to penetrate the meat and season all of it” They kinda just went, “Huh…makes sense” and I didn’t hear a single complaint when they tried the turkey.

    OMG guys I did this yesterday and it wowed the whole family 🤯 it was the best turkey ever! The glistening maple glaze was magical and sticky, the meat succulent, super easy to carve after the initial breaking down, and had more surface area for the amazing glaze to cover. I finally conquered my fear of completely breaking down a bird! Once you break that back and feel the spine and spikey ribs of another being, it changes you man. Thank you SO much Chris. This was the first time my family has eaten a holiday meal together since my mom/mega chef of the family passed away. It meant a great deal to incorporate this recipe into hosting the event and sharing the love with my mom’s famous stuffing recipe. We are having more for breakfast!!

    Ok, I made this turkey for Thanksgiving. I was worried while it cooked because it didn’t make the house smell like Thanksgiving traditionally does, but OMG it was the most delicious turkey of my 48 Thanksgivings. The flavor was a beautiful marriage that was hard to describe. Our family’s new tradition. A big hit.

    We started breaking down the turkey a few years ago and we will never go back to roasting a whole bird again. Best decision we ever made. Besides cooking faster than a whole bird, you get that second rack back to be able to cook other things at the same time as the bird.

    IDK about anyone else, but seeing some of the other chefs trying the food would really add to the videos IMO. It's just so pleasurable to see others enjoying the food, and I feel as if it adds more hype as well as reassurance and authentication that the food is banging.

Everyone loved it and they all also said it was the best turkey they’ve ever eaten. I followed the recipe exactly and breaking down the turkey wasn’t as hard as I anticipated (I watched the video many times in advance lol!). I cannot recommend this recipe enough it’s absolutely incredible!! UPDATE: Just made a turkey sandwich with the leftovers and it’s the best leftover turkey sandwich I’ve ever had too😂 *chefs kiss*

    I can’t believe there isn’t a single comment about the recipe being behind a pay wall now. What’s up with that? Tbh the price isn’t unreasonable but when things that were previously free and then changed to paid, it’s nice to have some sort of acknowledgement and explanation of the pay structure going forward at least.
