The Christmas Dinner Thread 2020

Yeah well if your memories of turkey were that it was so dry you needed a gallon of grandma's gravy to get it down it's worth the effort.
Hour and half on the barbie and done.
The darling wife got me a meat thermometer for Christmas, tried it out on turkey and came out spot on.
We like rare beef roast, so will take the guess work out.

There was an American TV Chef by the name of Jeff Smith who was a Methodist Minister and in one of his cookbooks he said he hated to say it, but his Maternal Grandmother was a terrible cook. He said that every Thanksgiving, she would cremate a turkey and the entire family had to attend the services.

I have done the boned and stuffed bird before and got great results, but these days I find that 'Spatchcocking' the bird is far easier and the white and dark meats cook very evenly and both come out very moist.

The drawback is they aren't the Norman Rockwell Presentation.

You could probably assemble it back together and it would look close...
