Good question .

 

the finest non-SV turkey I sued to make

 

started w Jacque & Julia's method ( demonstrated on the PBS cooking series  , and a mighty fine one it was )

 

where the legs and wings were trimmed off the carcass .  the back was then cut off , and the breast meat

 

on the frame of bones , was place on top of the stuffing .  the thigh was boned out and stuffing was place in that

 

and tied , then the legs were placed alongside the fram , as were the wings , then the whole thing roasted

 

to your desired doneness.  I then added a small twist :  I boned out the breast ( 2 ) and kept the skin on 

 

and flopped that on top of the stuffing.  I could then make two ' bags ' of stuffing for the breast to sit on  

 

20 - 22 turks back then.  everything was cooked perfectly .

 

so , neither tie nor dont tie :  bone out !

 

P.S. :  @gfweb  if yoy have enough breast meat left :  re-bag w a little gravy , and re-therm to the SV temp.

 

nice way to make multiple  hot oven faced turkey sandwiches.  add some stuffing to the bag(s) 

 

individual servings , just as good as the originals.
