Christmas Turkey and Chestnut Stuffed Rice

Hello dear friends,

I know I've been busy this week and neglecting you a little. For a long time, I wanted to prepare an article for the new year, especially to give a nice turkey recipe. We made turkey to order 6-7 times in school, but the oven we used there was steamy. Since we weren't crowded enough to cook a turkey on New Year's Eve, I never prepared a turkey in the home oven, so I couldn't share a turkey with you.

Past The roaster recipe I prepared for Christmas in years Other than that, I didn't have much contact with the big birds :) We cooked New Year's Turkey in an oven bag with Chef Ceyda Bural at the New Year's Eve dinner event organized by Cook on Thursday at EKS.

Normally, turkey meat cooks very late, we used large oven bags to reduce the cooking time and to make the meat softer. The turkey, which would normally be cooked in 4-4,5 hours, came to a consistency in almost 2,5-3 hours.

What should be considered when cooking a turkey?

I've always cooked frozen turkey. Therefore, we waited for 24 hours to defrost in the refrigerator. You should make sure that frozen turkeys are thawed before starting the cooking process.

Before cooking, you should wash the turkey and dry it inside and out. If you tie the legs and wings of the turkey after the sauce, it will look better when it is cooked.

Love…
