Yes, this. All the sous-vide and spatchcocking and brining zealots are overthinking it. Roast the turkey, in an oven, until it’s cooked.

- criddell 5y agoI did sous vide but I didn't choose that due to any kind of overthinking. It's just the easiest, most idiot proof way for me. I started our turkey at 2 which meant we could eat anytime after 4:30. If we wanted to eat at 5 or 6 or 7, we could.
- jameshart 5y agoPresumably at some point in the past this required you to have had the foresight to acquire a sous-vide cooking system that was large enough to cook a turkey. That doesn’t strike me as the sort of thing one does without putting some thought into it.
- criddell 5y agoWell, first I had to acquire a house so I would have a shipping address that the $100 device could be shipped to. Sous vide machines are cheap. I've had mine for more than a decade now and use it all the time for the flexibility and ease of getting pretty great results. If you don't want to buy a dedicated device, you can get buy with a big pot of water on a burner. If you are a DIY kind of person, you can make one for less than $50.
