Mad Max Turkey-ice techinque

Posts: 41
I am doing a heritage turkey-18.5 lbs. I decided to brine which I did last nite thru this morning, rinsed it and placed in fridge till tommorow. Cooks illustrated likes the ice idea on the breast- and they recommend placing the turkey upside down on top of the ice in ziplocks as opposed to draping them. They had a hard time keeping the bags on top of the turkey-makes a ton of sense to me. Also they placed a bag inside the turkey as well to help cool the breast from the inside out. I am doing this-has anyone chilled the breast for an hour???? Also they pre warm the stuffing(if you stuff the bird)so the stuffing doesn't take so long, and place in cheesecloth inside bird to enable one to pull it out easy-has anyone tried this and the warming idea?

fyrcat,[p]i find the 20 minutes with the ice bag on top fine, but absolutely go ahead and lay the bird on bags of ice. .. works the same. . ..

fyrcat,[p]I use 1 hour & I invert it too. I measured the difference in temps (breast & thigh) on the first two I did and it was 7 to 9 degrees. Regarding the 41°-140° 4-hour rule, I didn't consider this a safety issue. [p]I do go 20 minutes on chickens.[p]~thirdeye~

mad max beyond eggdome,
I have z question if the bird has been in the fridge all night and you take it out how far in advance to take it out from the fridge just to let it get to room temp and then put the ice on the breast meat I figured in the fridge to the oven its all the same cold temp right? sorry folks nobody has mentioned when is a safe zone time to pull it from the fridge to stuff then into the oven

fyrcat,[p]Shoot. Just put the ice in two bags and clip em together at the top. They aren't going anywhere![p]mShark
