It's worth a second go IMHO. I've also go some wild turkey in the yard. Birds and bottled... to be honest mate I don't mind it that much...its just an easy target to have a pop at on here...especialy being a yank thing..lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's like they know turkey season is almost here and they're now immune from those in the orange vests if they stay in the yards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The one 8,396 Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 Will they turn that wee run into mud or can you get away with it ?. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mushroom 12,379 Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 Turkey needs to be covered when cooking and only uncovered for the last 10mins, to crisp the skin. Stuff with stuffing mixed with chopped smoked bacon it'll be moist and delish. Tip; raise the turkey on a rack or a bed of root veggies Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NEWKID 26,136 Posted September 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 Cook raised over white wine and chicken stock covered with tin foil (Not touching the bird), put butter under the skin and massage in, uncover for the last 20 mins to Brown. Use the liquor to make the gravy... As far as cost...they're free and so is the feed...favours work Normally do venison and a ham as well...I prefer the venison Mrs and eldest love Turkey.

I thought you were going to ask if the called was called Tesco or summat! Question for those that aren't huge fans of turkey. Have you ever had one that the chef has 'brined' before cooking? Nope ,an tbh it wouldn’t make a difference when I’m buying a turkey all I think about is I could Have got a lovely bit of beef or pork for the money 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dytkos 17,536 Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 Try Guinea Fowl for Easter, they are lovely to eat (and the eggs) and as good guards as geese. Cheers, D. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
