  1. This was my contribution to my thanksgiving dinner with my parents, and we LOVED it. My dad brines our thanksgiving turkeys, so there were substantially more juices to cook down and caramelize, and the gravy ended much darker and thicker as a result. My mom was a bit squeamish over the neck, but once it got strained, she couldn't get enough of it. Thank you, Master Proto.

  2. Chef, do you use store bought turkey stock or you use your own? If you use your own, can you teach us how to make?

  3. This was absolutely awesome. I did it today for our Thanksgiving turkey. It turned out perfect, like yours, Chef Frank. Thanks!

  4. You said roast turkey at 425 for the first hour , is that stove temp, or the actual "ambient temp" inside anyone's oven,

  5. Epicurious 101 …..what actual allegedly temperature does your oven cook at use a calibration thermometer

  6. Thank you Chef! I followed this recipe and made perfect, delicious, gravy for the first time in 25 years of cooking Thanksgiving dinner
