but if you deconstruct your turkey, and sous vide the breast, how will get that little red button to pop up when it's done?????

[Daniel]

Funny You should ask Bill.....

I have actually decided to completely deconstruct a turkey this year.

Really just out of boredom.

Turkey 2 Ways.

Involtini with the breast and sage, rolled like a torchon and cooked SV.

Escabeche the legs with tons of garlic and pimenton dulce.

Orange and Miso Glazed Sweet potatoes

Cranberry "Caviar" with calcium lactate and Sodium alginate.

Turkey jus with porcinis and rainwater madiera.

Puree of Marron.

Got a Rebel XT now so expect good pics.

Sounds really pretty.. Can you do anything with the insides or does that go into the jus..

[Vadouvan]

insides

Like the gizzards and stuff ?

Used to enrich the jus through liason.

[Daniel]

Yeh, the gizzards and innards.. Again, it sounds fantastic..

Lots of photos, no leftovers.

Thoughts.............ultimately ended up making a ballotine CSV/Activa which was quite good.

Will post pictures at some point, getting usd to the new camera.
