It’s game time, and your timings are key. Remembering to work out enough time for the bird to come up to room temperature, to cook, and to rest for 2 hours will determine when you start cooking and when you eat. Plan ahead!

Total Time 3 hours 30 minutes

Yield 12 with lots of leftovers

Number Of Ingredients 3

12 rashers of smoked streaky higher-welfare bacon
2 heaped tablespoons plain flour
2 tablespoons cranberry sauce

Steps:

    1. Click here for how to prep your bird...
    2. Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4.
    3. You want to cook a higher-welfare bird for 25 to 30 minutes per kilo, and a standard bird for 35 to 40 minutes per kilo. Higher-welfare birds generally have more intramuscular fat, which means they cook quicker than standard, lean birds. If you’ve got a 7kg bird, like I had here, do it for just over 3 hours, based on the guideline timings above.
    4. Just under 1 hour before the time is up, get the tray out of the oven and remove the tin foil.
    5. Cover the bird with your rashers of bacon, stretching and weaving them into a criss-cross pattern however you like. Return the turkey to the oven for the remaining time, or until golden and cooked through.
    6. The simplest way to check it’s cooked is to stick a knife into the thickest part of the thigh – if the juices run clear, it’s done. If you’re worried, use a meat thermometer. You want to reach an internal temperature of 65ºC for a top-quality bird, such as Paul Kelly’s turkeys, or 70ºC for a supermarket higher-welfare or standard bird.
    7. Use heavy-duty tongs to lift up your bird so all the juices run from the cavity into the tray, then transfer the turkey to a platter, cover with a double layer of tin foil and a clean tea towel, and leave to rest for up to 2 hours while you crack on.
    8. Use your tray of trivet veg and juices to make your gravy. Place the turkey tray over a medium heat on the hob. Skim away most of the fat from the surface into a jar, cool, and place in the fridge for tasty cooking another day.
    9. Stir the flour into the tray, mashing up all the veg and scraping up all the sticky bits from the base. Pour in up to 2 litres of boiling kettle water and simmer until the gravy is the consistency of your liking, then stir in the cranberry sauce.
    10. Strain the gravy through a coarse sieve, pushing all the goodness through with the back of a spoon, then season to perfection.
    11. Keep warm over the lowest heat until needed, adding any extra resting juices from the turkey before serving.

Recipe first posted to http://suppliesformykitchen.com/injecting-a-turkey-for-smoking/

Provided by Jan Nevejans @SuppliesForMyKitchen

Categories     Chicken

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cook Time 4 hours

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 - big turkey
1 - lemon
1 - orange
1/2 - bottle white (or red) wine
- sugar (white cane sugar is preferred)
1/2 cup(s) candied ginger (or 1/4 cup fresh ginger)
1 - onion
6 sprig(s) thyme
2 sprig(s) sage
2 sprig(s) rosemary
- a few sticks or butter
- pepper and salt

Steps:

  • First of all; when you inject any kind of meat or fish when it's raw, and let it marinade for a while, the flavours of your injection will become a part of it. Just think about injecting a leg of lamb with a marinade made garlic or mint and then smoke it slowly in the oven by adding dried garlic and dried mint infused olive oil on the fire or hot coals.
  • Even the most boring tasting fish can be injected with lemon and basil for example for a unique taste. The possibilities are endless, I can't name them all here but I do believe that it's definitely an underdog cooking technique then never got the credit it deserves!
  • There also are a few different approaches to smoking, but the most important thing to understand is that you have to trap the smoke around your product in order to really add the smokey taste! This can be done by wood or other dried products or with coals and sprinkling over infused oil, or fresh products to create flavorful smoke!
  • For starting, buy your turkey at least 1 day before serving it, so you can inject it with your secret infusion! Everyone should make up his own infusion, it's so simple!
  • Chop half a lemon (don't peel it), and put them in some white or red wine with 2 thyme sprigs, a few sage leaves and some crushed pepper but no salt! Let it infuse on a low heat for about 30 minutes, sieve, add the sugar and boil it down to about 3/4 cup.
  • Inject this infusion as evenly as possible in your turkey, then fill it it (it's still the day before serving!) with al the other ingredients, except the butter, salt and lemon. You can chop them up roughly for a better result.Then leave the turkey covered in the refrigerator for the night.
  • Then about 3 to 4 hours before serving (depends on the size of the turkey), heat up the orange in a microwave or oven and take some kitchen rope. Then tie the orange between the legs of the turkey. Rub the butter over the chicken and roast uncovered in the oven for 2 to 3 hours on 90 C° (about 200 F)
  • Take the turkey out of the oven, and heat it up to a high heat. Then just 20 minutes before you put it on the table, rub it again in butter, but this time with pepper, salt an other spices you want. Then give it quickly a nice color to serve.
