How to make a perfect thanksgiving turkey: 5 tips you absolutely need to know

published on 23 November, 2022 at 16:20
Thanksgiving is finally here. One of the most typical dishes of this holiday is the turkey. 
 
However this dish may not be the easiest to make, and some little things can make the difference. 
 
Here you can find 5 little tricks to make your turkey perfectly and amaze your guests. 
 
1. Thawing: If you use a frozen turkey defrosting may be crucial. Indeed, if not defrosted accurately the meat can result undercooked. Defrost the turkey in the fridge at least 24 hours before cooking.
 
2. Brine: To enhance the meat flavor you can brine it.
Mix brown sugar and coarse salt in hot water, then add in apple juice and ice. Submerge the turkey in this mix and put it in the fridge for at least 10 hours.  
 
3. Temperature: When cooking meat temperature is crucial, and so it is for your thanksgiving turkey. To check the turkey temperature properly it's necessary for you to have a meat thermometer. The ideal inside temperature for the turkey is about 160 degrees.
 
4. Baste: To have the amazing tasty exterior for your turkey baste it with maple syrup and melted butter.  
 
5. Rest: When finally cooked the turkey is still not ready to be eaten. It's very crucial, indeed, to let it rest so that all the juices can redistribute evenly. The ideal resting time for your turkey is between 20 and 30 minutes.
