So I just finished my first turkey of the season and everything went off without a hitch. I was interested in something I heard about cherry wood adding a reddish color, which kind of sounded like an old wives tale, so I got some and tried it, judge for yourself.
Now to the question. I do mine in the pit barrel so there is really no room for the pan so I have never made the gravy. I want to try making some gravy, and since I make several of these in advance, is there a way to incorporate the leftover/carcass/stock into the MH recipe, or some way to integrate those ingredients as I make the stock so that what I have left is basically gravy? Right now I have a carcass in the fridge ready to do something over the next day or two so ideas are appreciated.
Oh I almost forgot, I wanted to try something a little new, I like the spatchcock for cooking, but I don't really like it for the final look (and the legs flop around a lot). So I took out the spine area as normal, but I did not flatten everything out, doesn't seem to be any reason to do it when you are hanging it in the barrel. End result was a great looking bird (I think so anyway!) that would be good for a presentation but still cooked perfectly.
These Androids do great pics, the focus is amazing, though i'm not ever sure what that focus is actually on...
