Question
hi
can you please tell me how long to cook a 16lb turkey is it around five and half hours tem on 180
thanks shaun
Honestly, I like the way Alton Brown (Good Eats, Food Network) explains it! He uses the method I prefer, you can find the recipe @ www.foodnetwork.com and simply follow the links to his area. I would explain it but he does a better job than I can, I think the show was titled "as the bird turns" or something like that. He explains it more in "layman's" terms, I would take PAGES to explain with A LOT of technical babel! If you cannot find it let me know and I will send you a direct link to the site. Thank you, and Merry Christmas!

Expertise
I can answer almost any question that revolves around food. This includes product selection, preparation, cooking, technique, "finishing", plating, and some wine/beer pairing. I have been trained and I am familiar with foods from most of the countries or regions in the culinary world. I am also an avid hunter, fisherman and trained Butcher so I am intimately familiar with processing game and domesticated animals. I can recommend processing products and techniques, cooking methods for different cuts of almost any meat, and proper seasoning for game and domestic meats. If I don't know an answer I can find out! Ask any questions I love a challenge!

Like I said I am an avid hunter and fisherman, I am familiar with every part of processing meat from actually killing the animal to butchering and cooking.

I am a classically trained chef, and I have attended culinary school. I have trained with some of the best chefs I have ever had the honor of meeting, I don't mean "T.V. chefs". I have managed several restaurants, and worked as a professional butcher.
