Hey, I'm James, I just joined the forum. I have several questions for for my Bird(s).
I have made the last several turkeys in my family and they have all been pretty good, but I really want to go above and beyond this year.
I'm doing the Turducken. I know what to do and I have everything I need, though I do have a couple obscure questions I can't find answers to.
1.I don't stuff my turkeys, We cook the stuffing separate. All turducken recipes involve stuffing, is there anything I need to consider when I don't use a stuffing? (Temperature, dryness, anything)
2. I'm laying a Bacon Weave over it, good thick bacon. When should I put it on, the turducken will be cooking at about a temperature of 200 to 250. How long do I wait before I late the bacon over it?
3. Is there any way to make the bacon somewhat crispy by the end of it, or is it just going to be soft, wet bacon?
4. Do I need to remove the skin of the duck or chicken for any reason?
5. Any tips or suggests beyond basic cooking instructions.
I searched all turkey threads for the past year just to cover my bases. I'm new here, mainly for this Thanksgiving meal, but I can see myself hanging out here after cause I like to cook all kinds of things. Thanks for the help.
