Title: The Big Easy Turkey + Two Stick Turkey
Post by: TMB on November 07, 2014, 12:28:13 PM
The Big Easy turkey is as EASY as 1-2-3

All you need to do is clean the bird and pat dry the skin oil and S/P drop it in the basket then set it in the chamber turn the unit on and wait for the turkey to be done!

Now if you want to do something the will be remembered long after Turkey day try this one

TMB's 2 Stick Turkey.......

All you need is 2 sticks real butter 2 to 3 Tbs of you favorite seasoning (I use Mrs. Dash or Tee's W.O.W seasoning) 

Melt 1 1/2 Tbs butter is a sauce pan add the seasoning stir turn off heat and let it come together for 30 mins.  After it  cools use it for injection .  Inject breast, thighs and legs, then use the rest of what's in the pan as a bath for the outside.   Cook as you would any bird in TBE, SRG or BEESR and you will have a turkey that will not be forgotten

Ask anyone who tried it back at  the 2012 gathering

Sounds great Tommy, I've used butter on the Thanksgiving turkey similar to the way you described and it was fantastic.  ;)

I had that turkey at the gathering and it was fabulous...only difference is that I add lots of gahhlick to mine. I smash gahhlick in my butter then strain it before injecting. I don't even peel the gahhlick.  Pam    .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.

All you need is 2 sticks real butter 2 to 3 Tbs of you favorite seasoning (I use Mrs. Dash or Tee's W.O.W seasoning) 

Melt 1 1/2 Tbs butter is a sauce pan add the seasoning stir turn off heat and let it come together for 30 mins.  After it  cools use it for injection .  Inject breast, thighs and legs, then use the rest of what's in the pan as a bath for the outside.   Cook as you would any bird in TBE, SRG or BEESR and you will have a turkey that will not be forgotten

So what happens to the rest of the butter? The other stick+?

I read it as melt only 1 1/2 tbs of butter and use it as injection and then use what was left from melting that 1 1/2 tbs to brush on the skin.

I used this method with some Instant Gourmet seasoning for an early Thanksgiving party last weekend and will probably use the same thing (x2 birds) for the real celebration next week.
Next week, I will try brushing it on the outside before I inject in order to get a more even coating before the melted butter congeals...I always forget to try this in my excitement to get things cooking.

Maybe I am trying to read too much into this too, but 1 1/2 tbs of butter to inject, does not seem like enough for a whole turkey??  That amount would hardly do a leg and thigh.  I want to do this for my turkey, so I want it to be right.

I find (for me) this works well, heck use as much as you need to  ;)

No rules on how to cook here, this was something I found that works well for me ;) ;) ;)
