Do you have a guide for this unfolded spatchcock?
 
Finally got my turkey breast smoked, with charcoal and cherry wood. It turned out quite tasty. The extra brining worked out well. But, the skin, although tasty, was tough. I kind of expected that to happen, under the circumstances.

I had a big turkey sandwich for dinner. The rest will cool down in the fridge, and I'll cut and shred it to vacuum seal, freeze, and use for gumbo, probably around New Years.

The one negative about smoked poultry is that the skin is practically inedible.
 
I got so busy I did not take any pictures of the turkey or the rest of the food.
But I did take pictures of the serving dishes I bought for my wife. Worked well with two turkeys I cooked and 10 pounds of potatoes.
We did have some turkey leftover, but not potatoes or gravy,

I've made noodles but these were egg noodles from a package. I made the bone broth, so I hope I don't get too many demerits for the store-bought noodles. :giggle:
Oh, ok. I keep thinking I should try making noodles, but am afraid to fail. Though I do make pierogi dough, should not be that much different. Most recipes I see on line are making dough by hand. I am too lazy and in too much pain, I cannot do it by hand. Would like to use food processor, not sure how that work out.
 
Charlie, I use my food processor when making pasta. Works just fine. At one stage it is very crumbly but when dumped out and pressed together by hand it is perfect.
I then feed it back into the fp walnut sized chunk by chunk with maybe some water. Dump it all out again, compress by hand, wrap, chill, roll.

what is your noodle recipe?
 
I've only done the noodles once, long time ago, was just looking and can't find it. Mostly have done pasta as for ravioli and spaghetti. Also my recipes both contain egg so pretty much the same. Had to also just look it up and it is said that the only differences between the two is really just the flour used. Seeing as I used AP for both, guess that makes mine the same recipe! LOL.

Spaghetti pasta's are Italian
Noodles are Germanic.

same - same but different. Pretty much based on who gave you the recipe and in what dish you will use it.

If you can make pierogi dough, you can make egg noodles. My egg noodles are simply AP flour (about 3 cups), salt (perhaps a half of a teaspoon), an egg and 3/4 cup of water. Make a well in the flour, add the salt and egg...mix as much flour as you can get in it. Then add water and work the dough with your hands which will become really sticky. When you cannot get more flour into the dough, ball it up and let it rest while you clean off your hands. Then cut the dough into thirds. For each third, dust the counter with flour and roll the dough as thin as you can before cutting it into strips of whatever size you want.

These are great to use for beef and noodles or chicken soup. The noodles are very rustic and will soak in the flavor of whatever they are cooked in.
