The Big Bird
 

I just put my turkey in about 1.5 hours ago, already 144F internal temperature. I injected him with butter mixed with sage, and garlic powder.

This 18 lb bird is 120F after an hour and a half. I thought that was fast. But it's a biggun, it's my tradition to get a larger turkey than needed. We have 6-7 eaters.

Keryx thought he was warming up to fast so we reset the probe and the temp went down to 135 after 1:44. OOPs I'm Stoned

i thought you were familiar with the plump part of the breast

2 hours in, 134F. Still seems too fast.

3 1/4 in 157F tent is off we're on final turn

3.5, 175.

Go, man, go!

Trying a new recipe. Cut the bird up into pieces first and roasting them in two shallow pans with onions and carrots and 2 cups of water. It's only supposed to take 90 minutes.

Only problem is it uses both racks, so timing the side dishes is tricky.

Aiming for 6pm or so.

The best part.
