Turkey time?

I've never heard of a deboned turkey! Do you just get that from the butcher?

Hmm...methinks MeShell is doing a bit of flirting or something else with her butcher in order for him to debone her bird 

LOL you wouldn't suggest that if you saw how old THAT old bird was..........HAHA

Good girl!!

Sounds like a great New Year's resolution!

i used to order a deboned turkey when i was a chef- amazing to carve... quicker to cook... great.

i went shopping on sunday to tesco to get my (2) large turkies.  they only had small & medium.  they did have large but they were the self-basting kind and i think those are weird.  gonna check my work tescos & then waitrose.  need to cook 35 lbs of turkey.

When you were a chef?!?!

Have you been keeping something from us, meggles?!     

When you were a chef?!?!

This is the first I've heard of it!! 

As for the deboned turkey ... it just makes me think of that episode of Family Guy where a genie grants Peter's wish and he ends up with no bones. Anyone? Anyone at all? No? Just me then? OK.

I vaguely remember it. P remembers it well, though, but he is the Family Guy almanac!

i was a chef (offically my title was steward, but noone knows that that means) on a tall ship (136ft 2 masted schooner) during college, and then for a little bit afterwards.  but i'm not a fancy cook- good basic food- cooked on a diesel stove- in rolling seas.  i loved it, and i doubt i'll find another job i'll love more ever again.

I guess I'll do a frozen one again this year. Has the cost of turkeys gone up since all the culling?

I don't think the prices have gone up yet (or at least not too bad), but they're set to "rocket" this week according to the local butcher.   

i searched & searched & searched and could NOT find a frozen, non-self-basting turkey.  i need 35lbs (17kg) of turkey, and the idea of cooking (3) medium turkeys was just crazy talk.  so i got 2 extra large (8.5kg) self-basting turkeies.  anyone know if i can still brine self-basting turkies.  i don't want to think about what's injected inside.

As far as I know you can still brine them, I don't think they're injected with a whole lot.
