My mother is a cook of contrasts. Her chili is a sad not-spicy paste of beef and beans over rice (?!) yet she also makes the best lasagna I’ve ever had.

gently caress that, so spatchcocked looked great on Serious Eats and seems to be the general consensus here yeah? Not planning on doing a big turkey.

Grey liver stuffing, which always had a place of honor next to the delicious brown 75% pork sausage stuffing at my grandmothers. Gross French traditional love of offal.

Cooking a turkey for a group is pressure, let’s not gloss over that. It’s a large quantity, takes a lot of time, and people are dependent on you to do well. If you gently caress it up, it’s Beanie weenies for mom and grandpa. gently caress.

I know someone that forgot to take the plastic bag with the giblets out. Whole dinner was ruined, on account of the kitchen being full of acrid plastic smoke.

They are gross.

Its just tiny gross onions in a bunch of butter and cream.

We have something like that, it's peas and pearl onions then you mix in a can of white sauce (Aunt Penny's White Sauce). It is better than it has any right to be and I love it.

Oh. I’d brine the same amount of time. Spatchcocking will cut the oven time down but even a smaller turkey will take a little while. Google will be your friend there. For seasoning I like to do a compound butter with salt, pepper, and herbes de Provence and shove it under the skin as well as on top.

For those dumbasses like me


The real term is to "spatchcock." Alan Davidson explains in The Oxford Companion to Food: "The theory is that the word is an abbreviation of 'dispatch the cock,' a phrase used to indicate a summary way of grilling a bird after splitting it open down the back and spreading the two halves out flat."

Dispatch the cock immediately!

I'm pretty creeped out
My family makes a stuffing I adore that I have never been able to get anyone else to eat. Bread, celery, sausage, thyme, and a fuckton of butter. It's so greasy that everyone I've had try it finds it inedible but I will eat it until it slows my blood down enough that I can't move my limbs anymore

oh poo poo! I haven't even thought about that since my great aunt died like, decades ago, that would show up at her house. I loved it as a kid because pearl onions are like broccoli (you feel like a giant eating things like that.) (broccoli is trees.) (pearl onions are normal onions.)

My family makes most of the stuff on here, except the midwest WASP poo poo like the marshmellows and the green onion casserole.

Pearl Onions - AMAZING, but you really need to dump a ton of butter and salt and pepper in that roux, otherwise it's just boiled onions.
Stuffing - likewise, can't say for sure how much butter is too much, but depending on your definition of 'fuckton' our stuffing is really close - no sausage but giblets Bell's instead of just thyme, and turned every thanksgiving until my siblings hit midteens or so into a screamfight over who was getting more stuffing, because if you Stuff. The. loving. Bird. With. It. there's only really like, ten servings total, and everyone's angling to get in as many helpings as they can before it runs out. Now that we're adults we only jokingly fight but everyone still clocks exactly how much everyone else in the house eats.
Gravy - homemade dripping stuff. Don't understand what the gently caress makes people buy it from a can, you put flour in the grease and stir, that's basically it. Some water to deglaze the pan. Next thing to run out, and like the stuffing, as eagerly hoarded as guzzoline in a Mad Max movie.
Acorn Squash - Chop it in half, throw in a bunch of butter, a bunch of brown sugar, some nutmeg and maple syrup. By weight of ingredients it has more in common with cookie dough than a vegetable, if you can't get down with it, or your mom knows a way of loving that up? God help you.
Any root crops - perfectly serviceable gravy receptacles. Once the gravy is gone, meh.
Brussels Sprouts - was very distressed when Sprouts became a trendy pub grub at frou-frou bougie joints, because making delicious sprouts for people in a country where most people can't boil water was like a closeup magic trick until about 2009 or so
Turkey - literally who the gently caress cares, you soaked the juices into the stuffing and what escaped and dripped out became gravy. All the flavor ended up in two OTHER foods. Eat the skin maybe, let people pick their teeth with those disgusting tendons in the legs. Did a friendsgiving a decade back, friend vetoed in-bird stuffing because she wanted it to be 'moist' and insisted on StoveTop. Wet white meat and damp croutons for thanks-giving. We don't talk, anymore.
Alcohol - starts Thanksgiving Eve until about 28 or so when friends get married and stop coming home, after that must absolutely start as early as possible and be maintained at a 2-beer level buzz all day. No more, and unless you're under 18 or a frail 80 something year old grandparent, no less.

The True Meaning of Thanksgiving is it's Belly Christmas gang. Nothing to do but get fat, no gift stress, no spending, no food stress even, if you do it right (last year I fed five no problem, woke at 6, started drinking at 7, and bone appetite at 4. Learn to cook, then learn to plan, it's nothing) hang out with the fambly. Then again you need:
1. Family/Friends that aren't shitheads
2. One or two members of either group that can cook
3. 12 beers, a half bottle of wine and a few hits of weed (over the course of like 14 hours, I'm not an animal).
Worked for me last year.

If you are a goon with your life all jacked like everyone is saying, I'll gladly kitchen 911 you guys. Gimme a plane ticket, booze, drugs, a kitchen with actual equipment and absolute authority to chuck any toxic friends family members and it'll be a Thanksgiving like you ain't never had.

I really hate green bean casserole. It’s such a nasty dish. French style green beans slathered in cream of mushroom soup. Maybe some onion straws sprinkled on top. Blech.

It always makes an appearance at every Thanksgiving dinner and everyone expects it to show up, but everyone just takes the one polite spoonful and leaves 3/4 of a casserole dish to throw away in a couple weeks.

I made that once out of curiosity and it was loving gross. I used a ton of herbs and it still came out tasting like salt and grease. Never again.

I used to hate green bean casserole a ton until I finally had a good one. If you don't just make them from canned garbage they can be a nice mix of rich, fresh, and spicy (not hot).

I've never liked spatchcocking turkeys at home because horizontal space is at a premium in most home ovens, so I've taken to cutting the legs off and starting them early. I've had consistent issues with the dark meat taking way longer than the white, and I think that leads to a lot of overdone turkeys. I also always inject the legs and breast with a butter/white wine/garlic solution, and I go heavy on the fragrant herbs (sage is key, but marjoram is the secret ingredient to great poultry) in the skin and cavity.

I'll spatchcock a chicken every time though.
