A publicly acceessible thread about fucking Xmas
Happy fucking Xmas
Cook your turkey to an internal temperature of 165 celsius. Timings are not a useful measure as they never take the starting temp of the bird into consideration.
Often the body of the bird cooks faster so once up to temp pull it out and leave to stand, but the legs can take longer so cut them off and put back in the oven for longer. This will avoid some of the overcooking of the white meat - people often wait until the juices run clear from the legs by which time the breast has been nuked.
Ideally leave it to stand for an hour or more, its a huge bird and will benefit from the time to relax and won't get cold.
Do the parsnips with honey and Parmesan
Sprouts are little bitter balls of snot so just throw them away - or cut into quarters and add to a pan with some lardons that have been fried a little to release the fat, add some chestnuts and season. Will piss off the veggies.
Carrots slice lengthways. Put in a pan with about a cm of water, honey or brown sugar, butter salt and cracked pepper. Cook until the pan has nearly run dry and the glaze is turning v slightly to caramel. Add more butter for gloss and finish and scatter chopped parsley on top. Cooking this way means the sugar of the carrots is retained and not boiled out and then poured down the drain.
thanks mum.

All going well, timing found hidden under the box of stuffed prunes I was filling my face with late last night. Turkey in oven, half a pound of unsalted butter mixed with thyme inserted under it's skin with surgical precision - following the receipe of Mr Fergus Henderson of St. John's... I'm currently doing the Brandy Butter (equal parts sugar, butter and as much brandy as it'll hold....) oh and a large glass for the chef..... Hic.
I will have to disagree with Mr Prancer's general view on sprouts, as I find them little globuals of green heaven, totally underappreciated by the entire world, if not universe, and beyond. Sprouts ftw.
