    "I'm one of the great chefs in the history of the world. I have cooked for presidents, I have cooked for kings. I can make anything you like better than most. But my wife likes Pepperidge Farm packaged stuffing, so that's what we're doing." I love this guy.

I was in Chef Delorme's kitchen and he demonstrated the exact same things you presented and Chef always stressed removing the cartilage from the legs for easier carving, and making the slits in the thighs and wings. The Chef then lectured us on using a high heat and doing the reversing of the bird halfway through the long cooking strategies. Somehow, in my years in the industry I lost tract of the slits in the areas you mentioned- thank you for bringing back a memory and I shall do it again this Thanksgiving.

    followed the entire recipe & process to a very successful, near perfect Thanksgiving meal. No more turkey ovens for me...the 12 lb bird was perfect....on time, moist and completely finished by the cutting into the wing & leg "articulations." The pan gravy with neck and gizzard meats and pan broth plus carrots and onion into a Tbsp of corn starch with 2.5 Tbsp of wine to set up consistency while de-glazing the pan....our house still has that savory Thanksgiving smell that only comes from fresh everything cooked to optimum. Changed out the 12oz package of cornbread stuffing as it wasn't available, but two packages of Jiffy Mix early in the morning to make and bake made the perfect dressing to mix with the suggested vegetables and broth. The Soy Sauce is now my new best bud in the kitchen for coloring the gravies. Presentation as shown in the video was right on the money for how it was served here today. Thank you Chef Jacques.

    My "experience" as a chef is limited to watching videos and then trying the suggestions. What I have found about "secrets" in making a great roast turkey is that there are no secrets. I have dry brined, wet brined, stuffed the bird with countless aromatics, etc. I now cook a turkey in the style of Chef Jacques, though I am sure not as well. Buy a good turkey, add some salt and pepper and follow the chef's "cooking" instructions and pay attention to how he ensures a crisp skin. Buy a good thermometer. That's it. Making the cuts before you cook really works. No panic, great meal. Thank you, sir.

    A thing of beauty, as always. I liked the carving tips! Never saw the legs cut up in that way, which makes so much sense. What a great knife & knife skills, of course. That stuffing looks worth trying, with the corn added to the Pepperidge Farms stuffing mix. I love Cornbread stuffing mixed with brown rice & also like the brown rice with regular bread stuffing too. That sauce looks great, & that's basically what my mom would do with the giblets, & simmered them together with those same veggies, but would then add the broth & veggies to the stuffing, then baked them together. She didn't chop up the organs to eat. They were just used to flavor the broth for the stuffing & chopped up for the cats or dog. I have cooked & chopped the liver & have added that to my gravy, on occasion. I'd have to reallocate most of those drippings for my beloved drippings gravy, though. The Fond - which is to me the Holy Grail of deliciousness - must also be used to make my own roux based gravy, simmered with bay leaves & garlic & a few herbs, including sage & parsley & would just snitch from his broth a few thin slices of celery, carrot & onion for flavor, as a base for a classic, flour thickened gravy, which can later be added to turkey leftover dishes, like pot pies or a soup. So grateful to have these shows of Jacque Pepin at home. I loved when he referred to his wife & daughter who'd be both jousting for the neck, & how he savored the liver as a treat for the chef, with a sip of wine.
