[Maza675]

Big congrats on having labs that are looking very fit, and not overweight like so many

@Maza675 thanks, we measure their food each day, and they run every day too, they are working dogs, and they love to work eric - GardenFork

I love smoking my turkeys. They are always moist and extremely flavorful.

[erochow]

@thePowerPlant smoked turkey is great. i have a couple of smoked food shows up here on our Channel if you'd like to check them out. thx, eric .

This is the second time I've heard of Mayo on the bird this week. Never heard of it before. Will give it a try this December. Thanks for the great channel.

Also...let it REST BEFORE you carve it!! I do about 20 minutes to let the juices re-distribute...works on ANY meat! (but I usually only do 10 minutes on everything else, but my turkeys are big, so it takes longer)

[bestestmama]

I always cook mine breast side DOWN for the first hour or so (about the first 1/3 cooking time) then regular the rest of the time. Comes out juicy and perfect every time!

Great video Eric! Entertaining as usual. Why didn't you put the mayonnaise on the underside of the turkey? You tend to look to your left of the camera...what are you looking at? Do you every make your one mayonnaise? Can one make mustard at home?

Happy Thanksgiving,

@IndianaMatt85 hi matt, i did put the mayo under the turkey, i just didn't show that in the video. and we have a how to make mayonnaise video on our youtube channel!

working on a home made mustard video too. thx, eric.

[Fairytalejunkie]

Does the mayo affect the taste? I hate mayo on sandwiches

[erochow]

@Fairytalejunkie you really can't taste the mayo, thx, eric.

[winlythia]

the wonky stove is always the best way to go.

were the labs posing as appetizers? in their own little trays of herbage juice?

[erochow]

@winlythia its a great stove, its just not quite large enough sometimes, as we see here!. eric.

[TheTexasbuddy]

If I don't have a camper stove,,,,,can I cook the turkey in a regular oven?

[erochow]

@TheTexasbuddy yes, i'm always making excuses for my little propane stove.

[loislaney23]

Looks good, never heard of this. I always use a cooking bag, seems to speed the process. Thanks. love the puppies in their bath. LOL

Ever since I was a kid, my parents always roasted a turkey in a Nesco Roaster. I bought one myself quite a few years ago, and have cooked turkeys in it with a lot of success. I had a small oven like yours and when it died, we got a 30-inch oven in the space allotted in our kitchen and it's good for turkey as well. I really felt for you when you were trying to maneuver that turkey. Yikes. Potential "burn city" with the grease factor. Get a GOOD ROASTING PAN and ditch that one Eric. Too flimsy!!!

[erochow]

@blukatzen yes, a real roasting pan is in my future...

[blukatzen]

Those doggies were trying to hypnotize you to walk to the door Eric. Then they would have been off with the turkey. I know that look. My German Shepherd used to try that with my mom years ago, lol!

[erochow]

@blukatzen the labradors are persistent, aren't they?

[blukatzen]

Oh man Eric. We've gotta take up a collection for you to get a new stove up there. Frugal is one thing but it's time for that stove to go to stove heaven. C'mon. New Stove for Christmas. What'd ya say?

[erochow]

@blukatzen i'm working on a kickstarter campaign, if you join our email list - you can sign up on our site or youtube channel page - we'll let you know. thx, eric.

[dureyes]

Love your videos and love that stove of yours. The labs look great! Thank you and happy Thanksgiving.

[erochow]

@dureyes happy thanks to you all too. eric.

[MegaShaytardfan]

My wife always uses the bag and it turns out great, but a pain to get out of the bag. I never seen the video of how to carve a turkey yet. (will go watch it later this week. I like cutting the breast along the bone and then cutting into smaller pieces.

[DBIGMAN812MANY]

Another delicious video. Happy Turkey day to you and the camera operator and the pups.

Keep the info and updates growing our way :-{}

[erochow]

@DBIGMAN812MANY thanks!

[lokiloki9]

it looks all kinds of yummy! Fried turkey is huge here in Georgia.

[mukwah1111]

I am not big on brining either......the texture of the meat is more like ham....I think....

Hahha dirt herbs ..too cute..de-stem, de-leaf and de-dirt yer herbs

Not digging the mustard thing tho.... Yup loving the mayo under the skin thing....ram that bugger in there...I bet its going to be outstanding

Thanksgiving has passed in Canada (Oct) & no turkey for Xmas but will def use mayo on the next bird

Happy Gobble Gobble to ya !

[erochow]

@mukwah1111 let us know how it works out for you, eric

[lilredmum]

Looks really good Eric! I will have to try the mayo/mustard herb thing, have never tried it that way!

[erochow]

@lilredmum i never tried it before, but i'm a big mustard fan, eric.
