The Food Lab: Turkey Stuffed Turkey

Kenji,

The second I saw this I was a man possessed. Just a perfect way to cook turkey, makes so much sense. I ran out, bought a meat grinder and got to work on Sunday. Probably excessive, but I brined the turkey after I broke it down. Used the carcass for a stock for gravy later. Monday, I rinsed off the brine and cubed the dark meat. Tuesday, ground the meat and began my attempts to roll the breast. I had a difficult time with this step for some reason, took me 3 or 4 attempts to get this correct. I suppose if I had a thinner breast this would have been easier. I found using a more traditional tying method worked better for me than using a series of string like you did. After roasting I seared it in some rendered turkey fat. Beautiful looking roast and it tasted as good as it looked.

I only had 5 people over for Thanksgiving Eve and I got away with using one of the roasts. I have a backup for Thursday's impending doom at my friend's house.

I don't think I'll ever cook a turkey another way again. Thank you very much for the inspiration and the foolproof instructions.

How Do You Slip the Waiter Extra Tip Money?

I make sure to openly mock those who under tip. An extra few bucks is really that big of a deal to you? If you've ever worked for tips in your life you'd realize what a difference a couple bucks here and there makes.

Should Junk Food Help Pay for Health Care?

~45% of Americans pay $0 in income taxes. If the new health care bill passes, my federal, state, and city income taxes will total close to 70%. Instead of blindly raising my taxes, why don't we start to internalize some of the health hazards of our poor habits. Regressive taxes are only truly regressive if the benefactors are of a higher tax bracket but since so many of our uninsured are among the 45% who do not pay income taxes, a tax upon liquor, cigarettes, fast food, etc would actually go towards a health care program they could use. Currently, the cigarette tax pays for stuff like a new football stadium in Chicago, which should be criminal for a number of reasons. Liquor tax should be raised drastically, and I completely agree with a previous comment that we should be lifting the corn subsidies which would make "bad" food more expensive.
