Benjamin Franklin once said “Fools make Feasts, and wise men eat them”. If you feel that way about being the cook for Thanks- giving, then this is the class for you. I’m going to show you how to get juicy white meat and perfectly cooked dark meat with “Julia Child’s Reassembled Turkey” and it comes to the table looking just like the real thing! I’ve been cooking my turkey this way for years and I wouldn’t do it any other way. The disassembling can be done up to two days ahead and the gravy made a day ahead. No more last minute frantic cooking.
So it’s BYOT – “bring your own turkey” and you’re going to disassemble it in class – all done and ready for you to pop it in the oven Thanksgiving day! And here’s an added bonus - you won’t have to get up at 5 in the morning because the turkey will roast in about half the time! Plus you’ll learn the principles and techniques of making gravy, stuffing and cooking green vegetables the restaurant way– all lower calorie and the day before – making this the “Cook’s Holiday”. Trust me – this will change your Thanksgiving forever! Don’t forget your turkey!
