I saw that recipe! It looked really good, and we may have to try it. Too bad they don't sell all that chicken skin they pull off of all the boneless, skinless breasts in the world.

I made the Crispy Turkey Skin using Kenji's method, and it turned out fantastic. I am going to hunt for cheap chicken parts now so I can try with chicken skin. I'd never seen this method and it was so easy. I had salted the skin, along with the uncooked deboned breast, and left them both uncovered in the fridge for about 12 hours. The dry brine Kenji recommended for the turkey was a combo of salt and baking powder (never seen that before) so the skin got that as well. Not sure if it made a difference. I'm going to take a picture of what is left (forgot to take pictures before we started eating last night) to post on Facebook, it was that good. If you want to see the recipe, here's the link Crispy Turkey Skin |

Slight thread hijack, I guess, but am wondering if anyone has cooked a turkey using Kenji's spatchcocked method? Our Thanksgiving for my side of the family is on Sunday and I'm thinking that's what I'm going to try this year... |

I've never done Kenji's recipe, but I prefer spatchcocked turkey. I use the CI recipe and roast it over the stuffing. The nice thing about it is that you can make two kinds of stuffing by placing a foil barrier between them. |

Oh thanks, JesBelle. That gives me the confidence to try it for the first time when 12 people will be eating it! Definitely being able to roast it over the stuffing was one thing that interested me. I noticed in the recipe that Kenji said to take the turkey off the stuffing about half-way through. Is that how you do it? |

No, I've always left the turkey on top of the stuffing for the entire roasting time of the turkey, then put the stuffing back in the oven to crisp while the turkey rests. |

You do need to make a separate stock for the gravy. |

I did my turkey spatchcocked as per Kenji too. I also left the stuffing in for the entire time. It turned out very well. The baking powder/salt dry brine was new for me as well and resulted in a great crispy skin. The only thing I missed were more drippings to add to my gravy. It all got absorbed by the dressing. I put celery in the bottom of the pan with a rack on top of that, then stuffing and turkey. Deb Edited to add: I cooked mine at 450 for 30 minutes and then reduced to 325 (rather than stay at the higher temp). |
