I'll have you know it wasn't replicated, thank you very much. I burned it entirely on my own. 😤

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

So the choices were: dark meat or very dark meat? 🍗 🔥
Honestly, it’s incredibly difficult to not burn something like a turkey.
They’re freaking huge, and of significantly varied thickness. If you absolutely insist on doing a whole turkey, your most reliable method is to slow cook it for about a day. Souz vide, smoking. Something like that. Low and slow.
If you don’t want to spend the 24-ish hours just cooking, a better option is breaking the bird down, possibly Splatchcocking the thing. (Or you know just butchering it into thighs, drum sticks, wings and breasts. Carcass for stock.)
this lets you cook it a lot more evenly.
Have you tried using a blowtorch? That should burn the skin at least
For real. I don't even like cooking regular chicken because it has to be watched like a hawk to not burn (or at least end up dry as fuck), but also be thoroughly cooked when you don't have temperature probes you can just leave in it while cooking. I've been buying my turkey already cooked since I've had to handle thanksgiving on my own. I ain't feeding hella people so it's not really much more in price than getting a raw turkey.
How big is your bird?
We cook it on low temp for 4/5 hours and frequently baste and that seems to work.
I’ve never tried spatchcocking, can you still make stuffing that way?
So, depending on the postmaster you talk to, it should be cooked for about 30-60 minutes per pound at 225-250f.
I built my smoker with a raspberry pi to control it, though, and do some creative things with the temperature- as it comes up to 165 inside the bird, the smoker comes down to 165 itself and stays there for a few hours.
Eventually? It does dry out, but I’ve had it so tender that when I’m trying to carve it and the drumstick thief comes along, all they get is a bone.
As for stuffing… you technically don’t even need the bird for it. Though, it’ll miss out on absorbing some of the drippings, unless you collect them and add them.
That said… I’m not even a stuffing guy and I find that blasphemous… so…it should be noted that though the cavity for a splatchcocked turkey is smaller, it’s still there and you can spread the rest around the turkey just fine.
You can make stuffing without it being stuffed into the bird, yeah. Even my aunt, who did everything pretty traditionally and taught me more how to cook than my mom, wouldn't stuff the bird because it just makes it harder to cook the turkey.
Glory to you and your bird of prey!
Qapla'!
Goddammit TNGs makeup didn't survive the HD upgrades....
Nor did the morphsuits
May he have a good place in StoVoKor.
