Title: Thighs cooking rapidly
Post by: Bluecham on November 24, 2022, 10:01:16 AM

I put my bird in the SRG 55 minutes ago.  These are the current Temps.  The bottom is thigh the top is breast.  It is cooking quickly so I turned it down almost to low.  Breast is facing up.  Any suggestions what to do to even put the cooking?

I flipped the bird and Temps have evened out a bit. Will wrap wings in foil if needed.

Turkey turned out amazing! So moist and juicy. The honey butter garlic injection was awesome. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20221124/5aefac3df7099c979fee04765817dc9d.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20221124/0c61cfe73345b0274b61de9cfa85d680.jpg)

Best one I've made yet! Just have to get a way for the bird to stand better in the basket.

I foolishly gave away my TBE and SRG several years ago but, if I recall correctly, I used to rig a hook to suspend the turkey in the basket so it would be upright and contained at the same time.

That may not be a totally reliable recollection since I'm old (but not as old as IR2dum) and still in a food coma from yesterday.

I was taught to use the "Tommy ring"at the bottom to help with the cooking evenness. The bird always tilts a little in the basket, but really doesn't effect the cooking.
