F*** You Turkey

RATM

Why do we eat this sh1t meat ?

I've just put a massive leg of lamb into the oven set on a 5 hour slow cook. Hopefully it will be delicious by the time it's done.

But the question remains - why do we eat this dried out bird ? It's drier than a nun's craic and yet every year every ****er comes to it :pac:

I'm making Lamb too, I haver never liked turkey.

Its only the trimmings that make a wedge of turkey edible really!

I used to come from the same school of thinking, but you can make the turkey so that its not as dry as a nuns craic as you say. Used to hate turkey as well, cause it would always be really dry and id rather have brussel sprouts then endure that, but it's been edible in the last few years, so...


And feck your lamb,get some duck, mmmmmmmmmm

spank_inferno

Its only dry and tasteless if:

a) you buy a poor quality bird
b) you haven't a clue how to cook it.

I've eaten plenty of cheap lamb before that tasted of nothing.

All meats can be poor.... all can be great!

I'm all for turkey!

Ostrich for me today. Turkey is delicious if you know how to cook but it's pauper's meat, not suitable for Christmas.

I'm cooking goose! Any idea of how to cook it? Was told to cut the legs out and put it after an hour in the oven....

Dried turkey = Knuckle head who forget's to rub the turkey with herb infused butter and covering it with tinfoil before placing it into the oven .


I'm guessing you know not what a turkey baster is ?

90% of Irish people cook a crap bird or craply cook a good bird.
I have a free range , bronze turkey and it is always beautifull when cooked well , butter basted, etc .

Beef Wellington for us. To hell with turkey.

Probably one of my favourite drunken memories is chasing wild turkeys around a forest in Connecticut. God, they're fast bastards.

We haven't had turkey for years. Everyone gets their own meal.

To all you eating lamb.........that's a poor little baby sheep you are eating.

Evey bite you take makes jesus cry another salty, bitter, painful tear.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

kylith

We're having a Turducken this evening, should be tasty.

ejmaztec

Having turkey is the closest a lot of people get to having a good gobble.

livinginkorea

Duck here too. Turkey is really a waste. Duck leftovers are really tasty in sandwiches.

It wasn't me!

If people are having dry, tasteless turkey it's their own damn fault for cooking it badly. End of. *Waiting for big, delicious, moist turkey dinner*

The turkey is only to roast the sausage stuffing in.

Degag

The problem with Turkey or any dry meat is that people just can't cook it properly.

If it's seasoned well on the skin, underneath the skin and in the cavity and basted regularily etc etc, it'd make a big difference. Just bunging it in the oven for a few hours won't work!

MagicMarker

I have 4lbs of beef sitting in the slow cooker, bit of veg, roast potatoes and yorkshire puds and gravy mmmm!

Nothing like it, esp when you get it at the xmas table with the rest of the family.

Turkey over lamb anyday. lamb smells like ****e.

fonecrusher1

If your turkey is dry then you're doing something wrong in the cooking of it. A turkey needs to be smothered in butter to help it maintain a bit of juiciness. Separate the breast skin from the breast meat & squeeze loads of butter in between. Then smear more butter all over the turkey.

Turkey is lovely if you put a bit of preperation in.

I'm having some steak, cooked rare, later on. Never liked turkey that much anyway.

alwaysadub

We have turkey, goose, ham and duck this year instead of getting just a huge turkey. Think i'll just have ham though cos i'm not well.

Do you know what annoys me more than the people who can't cook Turkey properly and call it a horrible dry bird.

The people who say they are sick of Turkey for Christmas and for a change are going to have a prime cut of Beef or Lamb blah blah.

Riiiiiggggghhhht !!!

So you are bored having this same dish on one day out of every 365 so to make it less boring you cook a meal that you probably have once a week(Glorified Sunday Roast) during the year.

Can someone explain this one to me??
