Do you boil your turkey before baking it?

[cth2188]

It's become a habit in my house and my family thinks turkey won't bake long if this is done - how do you prep your turkey?

You also will have terribly soggy skin that won't brown or get crispy. I cook our turkey in my turkey fryer, it takes about an hour to perfectly cook a 16 lb., turkey with moist meat and nice crispy skin

Right- I baked my turkey parts no issues seems the turkey cooks longer boiled

This is the first time I have ever heard of anyone boiling a turkey.

[cth2188]

Never heard of it, brining might be something like boiling.
Anyways last Christmas we split our turkey and it came out amazing

lol, god no. I'd throw you out of my house if you boiled a turkey. I roast a turkey in the oven. 500 degrees (F) for 30 minutes, then drop the heat to 350 until the internal temp is 155.

I didn't say me I said my family believes in this and I don't know why...

[gorydetails]

I wouldn't eat a boiled turkey.

[cth2188]

Ok I guess people cook how they want

[gorydetails]

And apparently, a lot of people have no clue how to cook.

[cth2188]

Hey, I guess people do what they want - I cook how I cook

[cth2188]

I don't know why you assumed I boiled a turkey - I made it perfectly clear that this is how my family cooks and I tried that way and my turkey was messed up one year.. I also wanted to know how people prep their turkeys

[OtterMan68]
