First Turkey on the Egg

But it won't be the last!
This was a really nice 23 lb turkey that has been in the freezer since Thanksgiving.
Did Little Steven's stuffing outside the bird.
Turkey took about 3 1/2 hours - the temperature was a little wonky - I think that I need to recalibrate my dome thermometer.

I protected the breast with foil until the last hour. I had rubbed the skin with duck fat, salted and peppered. I basted a couple of times during the cook.
The bird turned out amazingly moist (the birds I have had from this same farm before have always been great) - I think the egg just took it up that extra notch.

Actually rendered it out of duck breasts while I was cooking them. Often get over half a cup per breast. I can also find duck wings often at an asian grocery store an I'll put those in the oven to render all their fat.
