Crawfish Boiled Turkey Recipe Video

I had the same thought process until i cooked one, it was great, it is not overwhelming spice like sucking the crawfish head

I would try it for sure but not sure if I’d cook one myself.

I've eaten this before. As someone who's favorite smell is crab boil, it wasn't for me. I found it made the white meat too tough, and the crab boil overpowered everything, while simultaneously not having enough flavor.

Let’s face it, a crab boil turkey is just someone trying too hard to look like they have the next great thing.

Mmmm. Boiled meat

You just put meat in there raw?

Thanks for the video. Very intriguing process.

Have you ever considered poaching it instead of boiling?
Keeping the water temperature @ or as close to 175°F?

In my experience, boiling temperatures are too aggressive and have a negative affect on meat protein coagulation.

Poaching allows proteins to denature and coagulate in a subtle process that prevents extreme moisture loss. I know you said it was juicy but, you used an injected bird.

Poaching would also prevent the skin from tearing off & falling apart (not that you'd eat it but) if you wanted to fry it crispy afterwards or make Crawfish boiled turkey skin chips?

obviously you like your process and you achieve the result you are looking for. Not trying to be critical, just giving you something to think about.

interesting thought, may be hard to hold that temp on a burner but its possible.

Also, the turkey was not injected with anything, just lemons under the skin and in the cavity
