Maybe this should go in the recipies section, but not all of it has to do with cooking. I'm looking for tips, tricks and advice. Im hoping to provide the Thanksgiving Bird this year out of my five Burbon Reds. I've never buthered Turkey's before, is there anything I should do different than chickens? Whats the best way to do them in? We normally chop the chickens heads off with a sharp hatchet, those turkey necks look a little thick for that...
Is there anything different about plucking these giants? (Use the usual scalding with electric plucker for the chickens).
And how slow, at what temp. should I roast these beasts? I cant give you an accurate weight, their this springs birds, feel massive compared to the chickens, but not nearly as massive as some of the production white turks I've seen. Any spices recomended?
