Grilled Turkey

Grill barely got hot enough but came out amazing.


How to spatchcock: here

Notes:

  • Used some woodchips but forgot to soak them
  • Might not work if its super cold, was sunny and 37 degrees which was enough to get it to the perfect temp (which was 350 degrees... for I think about 2 hours?
  • No flareup. Had cleaned grill before and made a tray for underneath it. Just used outside burners
  • Just over 17 lbs turkey
  • Spatchcocking wasn't easy and i had wished i had flattened it a LITTLE more



And don't forget to make plenty of stock and soup:

Ribs

 Ribs are probably the easiest meal (if you have some time) and great if you find a good deal on them (which happens pretty frequently near me). The keys IMO: 1. I don't go crazy getting the film on the bottom off and these things aways just fall apart delightfully for me 2. The foil seal steams them in the vapors from the melted fat. 3. Drain the liquid when you go to broil the sauce on at the end.  4. The ones I get have the bone but then a few inches where there are strips of cartilage (looks like a flimsy mini glowstick). Cut those out before serving cos they're pretty annoying to eat with the bones. Here is the general recipe I follow: https://www.inspiredtaste.net/7179/sweet-and-spicy-oven-baked-ribs/

Cock-a-Leekie Soup

 So good and so easy. Does take a bit of time (like any soup) but the steps themselves are short and simple.  While I'm definitely curious about the rice part, we ended up making ramen noodles instead and just pouring the soup over them.  https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/8347912/scottish-cock-a-leekie-soup/

Quick Pickled Onions

 These things are 10/10. Put them on everything. The way I've been doing it: 1 whole onion cut into thin strips WITH the grain. Toss them around to get them seperated 2 jalepenos sliced Put them in the mason jar. Try to layer in the jalepenos and dont be afraid to squish it all in as tightly as possible to fit.  Get the liquid to a boil. Half water, half vinegar, a bunch of salt (i just pour it in til there's an uncomfortably large amount in there). The second you see bubbles, shut it off and pour into jar til at the top. Try to get lid on without burning your hand. I usually store it upside down at first to make sure to get the top onions.
