Which Celebrity Has The Best Turkey Recipe?

[Music] hey everybody it is jesse from the tasty team and today i'm going to be making four famous celebrity turkey recipes see which one is actually the best on today's lineup we got recipes from guy fieri halton brown martha stewart and aisha kirk we measure out all the ingredients read the recipes completely to make sure everything is fair and i got three my friends taste them in a blind taste test so which library has the best turkey recipe let's find out [Music] first up is guy fieri he starts by making a brine for his turkey by combining water salt bay leaves garlic black peppercorns red pepper flakes and agave to sweeten it stir that all up so the agave is nice and combined and popped on the heat you want the salt to be completely dissolved once heated we're going to add a bit more water to cool down super fast we're going to take it off the heat pop your turkey right in the brine and guy fieri's brine didn't quite make enough to cover it so we made a few more batches just to keep things fair poured it over if it starts floating up weigh it down at the plate and pop in the fridge the next day heat some oil in a pan and you're going to add diced peppers add garlic cilantro and green onions and cook it just until wilted add ground cumin season it up with a bit of salt and black pepper [Music] and add lime zest as well as lime juice then at the very end we're going to deglaze with tequila because this is guy fairy after all take it off the heat transfer it to a plate and spread it nice and thin to cool it off super fast bring back your turkey brine dry it off and season it with salt and pepper prop the turkey up in a bowl just to make things easier and use your hand to get underneath the skin make sure you don't rip it so go nice and slow stuff it with that green mixture you just made try and get as even as possible bring in a roasting tray put the turkey right on it and stuff it with onions limes and some more cilantro tie the legs together just so it roasts nice and even tuck those wings under and roast it there you have it guy fairy's mean green turkey machine very interesting it immediately has a super dark skin which makes it seem like it'll taste really good but i don't know what the green stuff is kind of around the edges i want to have some of the skin because hi that's where the best part is i'm actually pleasantly surprised with that that's delicious juicy for white meat this is pretty good it is the white part so it's a little bit drier but it's definitely not what i would consider like a regular turkey but the winner is definitely the skin skin is very tasty it's just enough there's not an overwhelming amount of seasoning of crazy flavors it's just like let's bring the best out of this turkey you already die for us might as well celebrate it cooking it right i like it next up is alton brown just like guy he starts with the brine this time using veg stock and a lot of veg stock this time to that you're going to add salt black pepper allspice candied ginger and brown sugar mix that up and pop it on the heat so it all dissolves take it off and to this you're going to add some ice water take your turkey and put it right in and weigh it down at the plate if it starts to float up this one made enough brine soap in the fridge it goes the next day combine apples onions a cinnamon stick and some water and a glass bowl and pop it in the microwave once that's steamy bring in your turkey some aromatics some oil if there's plastic bits just remove those from the cavity and stuff the cavity with those aromatics and fresh herbs he uses rosemary and sage and coat the whole thing in oil this will help it brown tuck those wings under tie the legs and into the oven it goes there you have it ulta browns golden turkey thank you you're so kind it looks super traditional i like the color of the skin turkey i gotta say just from the eye the breasts look a little dry this is like my mom made this there's nothing to it i'm sorry mom you know what cooking skills kind of suck it tastes like very 50s southern everybody's eating around the table not my favorite flavor left boat you know someone just light through the turkey in the oven and hope for the best this white meat is definitely drier very dry i come to appreciate the simplicity of this in that juicier part very how we say conservatively seasoned i also think this one has a little bit more flavor than the last one just because i know it's like trying to be a turkey and not trying to be something else up next is martha stewart she starts by combining white wine and a ton of melted butter in a large bowl mix that up and take a large square piece of cheesecloth and soak it in this buttery mixture push that to the side and bring in your turkey season the turkey inside and out with salt and black pepper this turkey has a little rip in the skin so don't fault martha on that take some butter and rub it over the whole entire thing season it once more with salt and pepper tie the legs together so it roasts nice and even and bring back that buttery cheesecloth we're going to drape this right over it this is martha's hack for making the skin nice and crispy and brown make sure it's all over and popped in the oven there you have it martha stewart's classic turkey yum all right holy i got what looks to be some pepper flakes in the skin oh i definitely like the skin on this one what's up with that the bland this one's a little drier like i'm struggling to chew it and i'm just not getting anything out of it it's just nothing nothing okay i kind of wish it was a little bit more it has a lot of broth on it or something i mean turkey breast is notoriously dry so i don't know i don't want to put it on the chef i feel the grease from the poor animal but not even salt and i immediately don't really want to eat the dark meat because it definitely looks a lot drier like come on guys the bird deserves some salt it's definitely very plain i'd say i'm not a fan of this one last but not least is aisha curry she starts by making compound butter out of softened butter garlic shallots green onions cloves pepper thyme allspice and salt splits that all together until it's a bit smooth but still chunky and take it off bring in a turkey separate the skin from the turkey trying not to rip it put in some of that butter you just made and smooth it out all around use the remaining butter to spread all over the turkey which sounds easy but we learned is pretty hard i mean the turkey's wet and cold and the butter is room temperature so this proved a bit challenging but we got there with a little help anyways stuff the cavity with anise limes thyme and garlic season the whole thing with a bit of salt tie legs together so it roasts even and fill the roasting pan with broth and soy sauce pop in the oven and that's it aisha curry's jerk turkey all right last one this one looks good this looks like a classic turkey oh this already smells different this one looks promising garlicky okay oh got a little surprise under the skin there some color color usually equals flavor i feel like i want to eat this with like fur oh it's something sweet in here oh that's nice definitely saltier almost like a jerk chicken taste whatever you guys did with the garlic and the honey which may not even exist in there is being absorbed by the meat the juiciest part is just like bathing this i've been doing it around the whole time i got seasoned mine like this this is nice it feels like a very plain just a slightly over salted turkey best one i've tried so far today so who is the best turkey recipe let's find out my favorite is number two because i feel like it was an extremely classic turkey that i could do a lot with leftovers i could mix it up with mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes and green beans all on my thanksgiving plate i don't necessarily need to eat it alone number four is absolutely my favorite because it managed to bring some kind of sweetness and the flavor of garlic i think was there yet it was simple enough for me to enjoy the meat appreciate the juiciness and the softness the beautiful texture of this turkey meat it was just amazing it was perfection yeah number four is definitely the my favorite one that i've tried out of all of them uh i gotta say because like i said that that jerky taste that i have kind of like a jerk chicken like a caribbean taste it was um delicious and i haven't really ever tried turkey like that before so there you have it aisha curry has the best turkey recipe which recipe should we test next let us know in the comments oh yes you
