Food Dude: Let's talk turkey
31.12.69
Those of us born to this hunk of geography thanks to those Plymouth Rock stars, have spent our entire lives counting down Thursdays in November, knowing upon the fourth Thursday we are invited to gorge on turkey, dressing/stuffing, fall vegetables, cranberries and pies in pecan and/or pumpkin.
With that kind of anticipation in the chilly breeze with so many brown, orange and yellow leaves, the pressure mounts upon the shoulders of every home's cook-designate with each passing day of the month.
In an effort to alleviate that stress and anxiety, we will offer recipes, tips, videos and information each Wednesday of November leading up to Turkey Day. With the help of Claude and Lori Rappaport at Culinary Kitchen, 7302 N Western Ave., I invited a group of Oklahoma City 's top chefs to create variations on Thanksgiving recipes bound to raise the bar for this year's feast and those to come.
We begin with the centerpiece of any Thanksgiving feast: the turkey.
Tom or madam, frozen or fresh, farm-raised or snatched from the jaws of nature, the essential challenges of this bird remain the same: Storage, cook time, technique and the tricky nature of cooking this fowl.
