NE Portland Findings » turkey http://www.neportlandfindings.com A glimpse of my world in NE Portland Tue, 13 Jul 2010 03:31:08 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 en hourly 1 Turkey Encounters of the Third Kind http://www.neportlandfindings.com/2009/11/25/turkey-encounters-of-the-third-kind/ http://www.neportlandfindings.com/2009/11/25/turkey-encounters-of-the-third-kind/#comments Thu, 26 Nov 2009 04:33:19 +0000 Kim Toomey http://www.neportlandfindings.com/?p=110 So I think I mentioned this is my first Thanksgiving that I’m cooking. Which means my first attempt at Turkey. Now I’ve seen my family deal with Turkey each year, but it’s totally different when you have to deal with it on your own.

And I’m not one to do things half-heartedly when it comes to food, so I decided I should brine the turkey which NO ONE in my family has done before. We prefer the dried out version of Thanksgiving Turkey.

So tonight I unpacked my Turkey with Dylan’s help. There may have been some goofing around.

I don’t think there is much anyone can tell me that would convince me from serving Turkey neck in some fashion as opposed to feeding it to the dog. I really think it will make her Holiday (and celebrate her 1 year of life in our hands successfully)

Dylan preferred to be in charge of the brine and not touch raw turkey.

Hmmm, we really need to have a talk with him about the creepy mustache…

*Also, that is not enough brine to cover a 14lb turkey. I had to make a quick second batch. Lets keep our fingers crossed on this one.
