Did anyone use cornstarch on their turkey? I thought why not?

My thanksgiving was today, I did a 12 lb on my medium egg using the amazingribs.com "ultimate smoked turkey method". Which I found to be delicious, moist, light smoke, and I thoroughly enjoyed the thin gravy, although my sister insisted we thicken some with flour and cornstarch,(it was great also,I won't lie)
Sides were bacon wrapped green beans, glazed with butter and brown sugar
Garlic mashed potatoes
Muffings ( stuffing muffins)
cranberry sauce
Pumpkin pie and pumpkin cheesecake cupcakes
I used the Simon & Garfunkel rub, with a little twist and a fair dusting of cornstarch on the skin, it was so crisp and delicious, we stripped most of it off and ate it whilst prepping.
I highly recommend the amazingribs.com ultimate smoked turkey method as well, it was fabulous.
That's me waving a hand, thanks for reading.

Very nice! I also tried the same recipe, love the turkey and the muffings, but I must admit I still prefer mad max gravy. Next time I'll combine the 'likes' from each recipe!canuckland

@SGH, it was so crispy the family and I were in there tearing skin off while I was slicing, it was hilarious and delicious. None really made it to the serving dish. I am a fan of the cornstarch on my birds.

Everything looks great! As for the cornstarch, I haven't used it on turkey but I do use baking powder which has the same effect of crisping the skin.XL, Large, Small, Mini Eggs, Shirley Fabrication 24x36 Patio, Humphrey's Weekender, Karubecue C-60, MAK 1-Star General, Hasty Bake Gourmet, Santa Maria Grill, Webers: 14" WSM, 22.5" OTG, 22.5" Kettle Premium, WGA Charcoal, Summit S-620 NG

I haven't done corn starch but I always use baking soda before letting it dry in the fridge overnight. Looks like your meal turned out greatDunedin, FL
