Spatchcock Turkey and Gravy
Doing my part for Christmas dinner tonight.
I'm prepping a spatchcock turkey on a bed of aromatic vegetables & herbs, with a awesome gravy.
Spatchcock is cutting the backbone out and flattening the bird for quicker and more even cooking.
Bird is prepped, pics to come before it goes in the oven.

Bed is made for the bird.
Fresh thyme, Fresh rosemary, bay leaves, onion, carrots, celery and olive oil.
Cook at 375-450', the more heat the faster it cooks and it'll still cook evenly.
Cooking time is 1.5-2hrs.

Gravy
Back, neck and gizzard chopped and browned with thyme/rosemary
Add onion, carrot, celery & garlic and saute with meat
Add chicken stock, Soy sauce, Worchestire sauce and Fish sauce, salt & pepper
Simmer for about 45min
Make a roux
Strain stock, add roux and cook to desired thickness.

This Thanksgiving, I'm thankful for an abundant fishery and a magnificent pier, from which to access that fishery. I'm thankful for the morning view of the sunrise and what a spectacular view it is...
Happy Thanksgiving!
