fast way to defrost a turkey:
leave inside packaging. put in dishwasher.
(all by itself)
run your dishwasher.
turkey is thawed at end of standard cycle, much faster than thawing 3-4 days in the fridge, taking up all that space !

WTE, ten minutes to prepare the veggies,
leave the turkey whole and bpass the butchering and the brine, but I promise you the addition of fruits and veggies during the roasting process is well worth it when it comes to FLAVOR !
whole turkey:
hot oven 450
start breasdt side UP !
brown for 10-15 minutes, get a nice brown color on a well oiled, seasoned skin.
turn the tirkey over, BREAST SIDE DOWN,
lower the oven to 350 and finish the turkeybreast side down.
the juices will flow to the bottom, basting the breast for you !
pull the turkey when the breast reqaches 140 degrees !
remove and let stand for 10 minutes. the turkey will continue to cook because of its mass.
seperate the legs and thighs from the breast, THEY will need additional cooking !
puit them back in your pan, cover with liquid and finish the dark meat with all those wonderful juices, BRAISING your dark meat !
it will be awesome and well worth the extra time and few extra steps!
you noe have an awesome stock for a fantastic gravy too !

too high a risk of bacteria growth with the turkey at danger temp of 40-100 degrees! the dishwasher generates 160- 180 degree temp, the frozen turkey moderates that temp keep ing the temperature below the danger region of bacteria growth in the interior, whiule the hot temp kills any surface bacteria.

I might smoke a ham or maybe a pork shoulder. Pulled pork is good every holiday.
Turkey, Pork, Ham?
Whatever happened to Lamb on Easter?
