Whenever Josh says a recipe is from scratch I always worry about how I'm going to find the right DNA to create my own grass to, feed my own cattle, to get my own milk to make butter
Classic Josh, lol
Sometimes that’s how it be when he mentions some ingredients. Like I either can’t get them or Need to order a million things I will only use for that recipe
Gotta invent the laws of time and space first so that you even have a universe to do this in
Us homesteaders do it every day. 🤷♀️
this joke is so unfunny and overused
Josh is single handingly keeping the butter business alive ✊🏾
If he ever stops, we'll always have France.
@@sterling7 as a French, even I was shocked about the butter everywhere (butter is so good tho, I get it)

And cling film. My god that guy knows how to waste
alone with that one tiktok guy
I like how he explains how to debone a whole turkey like we're gonna do it
This
Someone will do it.
I will

Deboning will take me past Thanksgiving to Christmas eve. Most of the meat will be on the bone, holding some fatty skin. :/
Josh I wanted to thank you. I showed my Mother your channel and since then she has been obsessed and we have cooked several of your recipes together!
🥰
If you haven't already, try his Neapolitan pizza recipe! It can be done in an oven if you part bake the dough before topping and finishing
My mom rolls her eyes when I put on cooking shows and says to cook it myself lol
Soft asf
That’s awesome! Maybe give her the cookbook for Christmas!
I made the Brussels sprouts (without the foam :( cause I didn't have a whip cream canister) and while I was making the relish, my mom came into the kitchen to see what I was up to and looked at the recipe and gave me a weird look and said, "that doesn't sound very appetizing. I don't think that's going to taste good." I said, "okay well you'll just have to wait and see cause I'm already making it." She brushed me off and walked out. Next day when I finished the Brussels sprouts (I also roasted them instead of frying them >.< I know! I know), both she and my uncle tried them and said, "Oh wow that's really good!" And my mom looked at me and said, "DON'T say I told you so." I smiled. Thanks Josh for always providing us with amazing new recipes! It was an absolute hit!
I made the sprouts last night too and they were soooo goood! That relish makes the dish! Try it with the foam next time though! Maybe just make it into a cream sauce and lay the Brussels sprouts on top!
We don’t celebrate Thanksgiving in the UK but it’s always satisfying to watch Papa Josh make different meals
I use this glut of TH-cam Thanksgiving videos for Christmas dinner ideas!
enjoy your beans on toast on the 24th 😊
@@repticare101 lol. If I liked beans on toast I would
@@xxtmntxxrae4544 I always thought not liking beans on toast or HP sauce counts as treason in the UK lol
I mean there is a reason it's not celebrated in the UK...
Let’s see Josh’s version of how he’d cook for different parties, like weddings, birthdays, themed parties, etc.
Hello Jennifer! Can I ask you a question?
Yes!!!
I need the Christmas dinner version, this was just too good. Thank you Papa
Yes please, with ham 🐖🎄
@@rhonda.santis Josh is Jewish! Our Christmas dinners are Chinese food
@@zacharyrosenberg3037 As traditional as you can get
Christmas feasts tend to have some of the same foods you find on Thanksgiving.
YES YES YES
I love how the crew just approaches the spread with their hands and forks lol No plates, all love ❤️

Hello 👋 how are you today and I hope this message meets you in good health? I believe in the saying that you can't meet better people if you don't meet strangers. I admire your profile very much and it will be great to have you as a friend please can we be friends?. Thank you and remain blessed 🙏

I love the addition of the cast getting to enjoy the food.

Jesus Christ is the propitiation for the whole world's sins. They that believeth and are baptized (with the Holy Spirit) shall be saved; but they that believeth not shall be damned. Those led by the Holy Spirit do not abide in wickedness. 👍🏾
*God is ONE manifesting himself as THREE;* the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Bless him! *For these three are one.*
As I am led by the Holy Spirit, nothing I state is a lie, but the truth of God. Anyone who tells you differently is misinformed or a liar. They do not know God, nor led by him.
Anyone who *claims* to be a Christian and is against what I am doing, and where I am doing it; the Holy Spirit does not dwell within them, they lack understanding. They know not God, read his word, and their religion is in vain. Do not hear them, they will mislead you, the lost cannot guide the lost.
When you trust in God and cast your cares (worries, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts) upon him, they will be NO MORE!
Know that there is power in the name Jesus Christ! His name casts out demons and heals!
The world is wicked, evil, and of the devil.
I too, was a wicked sinner of the world before I opened my heart to God. I am living proof of God's work and fruitfulness! He is an active God who hears the prayers of his! God's children are set apart (holy) and righteous. The devil is a liar that comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy; that includes your relationship with God.
Open your heart to God, repent of your sins (he will forgive you), and let him direct your path. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands and purify your heart, lest you walk with the devil and follow him to hell.
They're getting chubbier as time goes on, including Joshua. These fatasses need to seriously start considering salads
Josh *explaining how to debone an entire turkey* also Josh a minute later “now here’s the hard part you’re gonna tightly roll the turkey”
🤣🤣🤣
Dude, I make that boneless turkey loaf nearly every year (I learned that technique from chef John at FoodWishes a few years ago) and it's AMAZING. It tastes great and it takes a fraction of the time to cook. Something to try if you want something different is brown the skin then throw a bacon weave wrap on it and finish the cook. I still love cooking an entire bird once in a while but nothing beats that loaf.
Something that amazes me when removing the bones is when complete it's nearly a perfect rectangle. It seems almost made for that technique.
I was thinking where I remembered that technique from? Chef John definitely GOATED in our family. Every weekend we are make something from him or Josh!
Can you prep the bird the night before? or will it dry it out too much? Say shooting for a 4pm dinner? Casue If i Screw it up lol I can go get a new one!
@@IndomitableSuperHottie Same here both are my fav!
@@Scottec1425 I would imagine you could just wrap it good... If you stuff it with stuffing maybe not but I also have thought about dry brining it overnight but I don't know how that would be I might try it with a chicken first. It really doesn't take that long to prepare though. Once you get the carving technique down (which the first time it will take some time). It's really not as hard as it looks. Throw a thermometer in it if you're nervous about cook time. It's really hard to mess up because of having the bones out. Chef Johns vid has a formula per lb. to use and it's always good.
Look up the FoodWishes video on this he goes into the technique more (just because it's the topic of that video). Both are great though.
My family won't let me try the boneless turkey! I've been trying to convince them for three years!
Being from a British family, it's nice to see Lyle's Golden Syrup making an appearance in here. I feel like not enough people know about that stuff.
🙌
I discovered it when I was following a recipe for millionaire's shortbread. It's delicious, but I will say that mixing it with corn syrup here seems like blasphemy.
I used it when I made the treacle tarts from Harry Potter 8 years ago. I haven't touched it since, but it would be an ideal syrup for a pecan pie.
@@LycanFerret it's fantastic on vanilla ice cream.
Deliciousness!!! My British friend introduced me to it and it's so yummy!
Growing up, my sister and I hated the B. sprouts!! One day she came over for dinner and said she was cooking them. Our mom always boiled them and they were horrid! My sister roasted them and they became a family favorite!! Now when I cook them, I am not allowed to put them on the table until everyone has seated AND I make sure I have one bowl for my sister and my daughter and one bowl for for the rest of us. My sister and my daughter will eat them like they are M&M's. Another example of how just changing a cooking technique can change the taste of a dish. Thank you for showing us this time and again, we appreciate it so much.

I did it! I made every recipe INCLUDING deboning the turkey. The entire meal was AMAZING! Deboning the turkey was time-consuming, but I have never had a more moist and flavorful turkey. The biggest tasty surprise was the gravy. BEST GRAVY EVER! There wasn't one thing that wasn't flavorfully delicious. If you're not daring enough to take on the full menu, the rolls, gravy, brussel sprouts, and mushrooms are a must!
This might sound silly but did the turkey still taste like ~~~Thanksgiving~~~
Yea. We always ask "the easy thanksgiving" but never the "ideal thanksgiving".
Lets go lads, Papa josh has provide what we need. Let's not be lazy to do it properly this year
My Australian-American family has always made pecan pie with Lyle's golden syrup so this was very validating
Not sure how many Americans really know of golden syrup, let alone use it. High five for us! 🫸🫷
With a table full of super-tasty dishes like this, you'll have a long line of people outside your house for Thanksgiving!
You red coats are missing out.

Love this. You made all of this including boning a turkey look so easy (which I guess, it is.) Excellent, because I'm sure that so many viewers will realize that and be inspired to cook their own TG dinners this year! 👍 These are how my mom made the mashed potatoes I grew up with, and they are delicious. She also used to make potato salad with the leftovers. (Mrs O.'s potato salad: Chill the leftovers {if there are any 😉} Break them into cubes or chunks the next day, add about one small finely chopped onion per 2 to 3 cups of potatoes, about a half cup or more of Hellmann's or your favorite mayo, a splash of vinegar, lots of ground black pepper, a little finely minced celery, mix gently. This is the basic recipe & its good.) I never made pie crust by hand after I got a food processor. It really is a lifesaver for bakers. Thank you for your excellent channel and uploads, and especially for this video! Happy Thanksgiving Josh!
Thank you for sharing that recipe. I’m going to try it with my leftovers this year!
I want to send this video to my guests and make them each prepare one of these dishes. Joshua's ideal thanksgiving is OUR ideal thanksgiving
Hello Luna! Can I ask you a question?
southern tradition additions: Deviled eggs (any home without a dedicated deviled egg tray is ill equipped), squash souffle, and punch bowl (for large functions)
Oh wow-- you hit all the buttons-- and I'm not even from the South-- but those are items I'd include on my meal list!
And for an extra savory, smokey, hot and spicy kick-- sprinkle a
(very light) dusting of Badias Chipotle over the eggs! A little goes a long way 😜
I add dollops of Bertolli Garlic Alfredo sauce to my squash dish-- and I have a huge diamond cut crystal punch bowl 😆
my mom and i are celiac and a lot of our family members are lactose intolerant, i’d love a video where you go over your favorite replacement products that give you similar results to recipes! (especially the bread rolls🤤)
I hated cranberry sauce until I tried a cranberry sauce with lemon and orange skin pieces that are soft and add a lot to the flavor I'd love to see you make that
I would hear Josh singing all day, it would be a hit in spotify
If I had a team of 5 washing the produce and doing the dishes after, this would be my ideal thanksgiving meal too 😳
Ask your family for help then
Fr
I deboned the turkey and did a fennel and citrus stuffing in centre for Xmas last year! Lovely to see big Papa on the hype too, was honestly the best tasting, most juicy and easiest to carve turkey I did ever see! Could not recommend it more
I gotta say Josh, this is one of the most beautiful Thanksgiving dinners you’ve ever done. I’ve learned a lot from your tutorials and I even learned how to make pretzels and bagels thanks to your videos. Happy thanksgiving, Josh! You’re awesome!
Hello van! Can I ask you a question?
As a brussel sprout lover, I'd love to see a dedicated video of 3 different recipes with brussel sprouts. We can make people love bb-spwouts papa >:(
I made the deboned turkey recipe yesterday for Thanksgiving dinner and it was a HIT! The de-boning went well, but man, rolling a 14lb turkey into a log is SO hard! Eventually tied it up nicely and formed it with plastic wrap overnight. All the work paid off, it came out pretty even all around and people absolutely loved it! Thanks, Papa!
Never knew what Pecan Pie actually consisted of…turns out it’s a Treacle Tart with pecans in, nice! 😍
🤤🥧
When I was a kid and read British authors I always imagined treacle as something you punished children with. Would have been good to know it was pecan pie without pecans.
@@tjduprey 😂 probably cause most of our food could be a punishment. But actually not when it comes to sweet things, we are decent at that lol
I just have to say i love u
U make cooking so easy im amazed 😍
I am absolutely obsessed with all your videos but no Mac n Cheese on a thanksgiving dinner feels sacrilegious 🤣🤣🤣

I did it. We had thanksgiving early and I literally followed every step of this video. You made me look like a boss cook. Thank you!!!! It was delicious!
I appreciate that you still do your signature opening of the cupboard at the beginning of your videos.
Yo Josh thank you so much for elevating my Thanksgiving spread this year. I used this video as inspiration for my entire meal, I actually deboned the turkey and did the roulade and everything! I’m notoriously good at Thanksgiving but have been making the same tired-ass menu for the past 11 years! I always get rave reviews but this year I was told it was my best yet 🎉
I picked up so many new ideas and new techniques from this, what a freaking gem! Thanks, man!! 🙇🏻♀️
15:10 blew my mind. I didn't know frying brussel sprouts was an option until today! Def gonna try that
My wife and I always make pecan pie with Lyle's golden syrup instead of corn syrup and it's easily our favorite type of pie
I've been on a real kick lately of making gravy with chicken pan drippings, mushrooms and chicken stock. I served it over roasted potatoes the other night and I don't think a potato has ever made me happier. Your food looks amazing, though.
1. Cheese ball, crackers, crudite, and Beaujolais Nouveau.
2. Traditional turkey (mix of white meat and dark meat and snag a piece of that skin), sage crouton stuffing, whipped potatoes, steamed green beans, cranberry sauce from the can, and drench it with homemade gravy from pan drippings. Wine is a nice Reisling.
3. Post dinner coma on couch watching football. Sip on a lager.
4. Pumpkin pie with whipped cream drom a can. Coffee.
5. Next day leftovers is open face sandwich with hot turkey, stuffing, potatoes, & gravy. This is a knife & fork job.
Yeah that's my favorite meal of all time.
Hey Joshua! Could u pls pls pls🥺give us tips about how to plate our food like pros. Thank you!🥰
The the Lord for this feast before our eyes as by Gods grace we all get this feast fr🙏🏿
Fantastic, real cooking with real food. Thanks JW!
I’ve been obsessing over various TH-cam chefs from Imamu Room to Babish and now I’ve been binge watching Joshua when I get home from work and it feels like your friends older brother who’s visiting home from college when he’s cooking
The most relatable part of this was the brain fog Josh had after cooking an entire thanksgiving meal
Those brussel sprouts look insane and I love roasted brussels with some balsamic and pancetta. Gonna have to try these out.
A Traeger IS indeed an oven!
It may be a smoker at low temperatures, but at high temperatures, it is a pellet fired convection oven.
I made a dark meat turchetta a few years ago. So, so good and great for smaller thanksgivings.
Hello Jessica! Can I ask you a question?
Looks amazing! as a European, this makes me want to start a thanksgiving tradition in my own home! Can't wait to try all these recipes! And this might just be the most delicious way to serve turkey!
Your recipes are so delightful. Thank you. I learned alot about cooking different recipes from what I usually make definitely love your videos. Thank you.
Hello Elizabeth! Can I ask you a question?
One small adjustment to this? When you make the pie crust, and you add the beans, put the offcuts of the crust ontop of the beans so you can snack once its done :D
I love roasted brussel sprouts. The whole meal looks tasty and fantastic
This is exactly what I needed as motivation to keep me questioning why I cook the way I do. I swear this mans technique and innovation just tickles all the right places in my mind to try and improve myself as an amateur home cook. Amazing!
Vicram is absolutely killing it with the fresh editing vibes. Love it! 🔥
I find it amazing how chefs can manage all this food and not get overwhelmed I can barely make 2 things at once
Right on time with the king of all Thanksgiving meal videos. Thank you as always papa 🙏
We made a double batch of the cranberry sauce this year, because we loved it so much. I ended up portioning it out in ramekins and freezing it to use for later. It's probably not going to make it to another meal, because it also happens to be the best frozen dessert you've ever had in your life.
Can you do more if these budget gourmet dinner? ❤
Even though we don't care about Thanksgiving here in Europe, the food culture and traditions around it are awesome and I really want to recreate it
Who’s like me looking this up getting their grocery list together 😂
my mother (who passed away) used barefoot Merlot. it was her favorite wine brand and it made the sweetest, tartest, cranberry sauce ever that could make a grown man cry.
Okay but now I want a whole video of different ways to cook Brussel sprouts
My co-worker says he used to work with you at a restaurant in Austin... mentioned you're a cool dude. I love your videos!:) kinda obsessed now.
As a Canadian it always trips me up to see all these Thanksgiving videos in November
The US is the main character of the western world. Deal with it lol
I can already tell this is going to be delicious! 😋
All the way through the vid, I was convinced that the tag was going to be, "You know what else we give thanks for? B-ROLL!". Opportunity lost Ace!
Have a great TG Josh and your merry men
It all looked magnificent, and nice to see the crew trying it all.
I am completely addicted now to butterflying and dry brining.
Used to do wet brine....until I saw the ease of butterfly dry brine.
I would love to eat a deboned turkey....but making it myself, oh no, I get stressed to easily making a big Holiday feast.
I think I'll make all the dishes except the turkey, maybe one a month lol
You’re very good with dough. It’s cool to see that you can really bake and cook. ❤
I'm exhausted watching this and I didn't cook it lol this does look delicious
Hello meshell! Can I ask you a question?
I made the rolls and they were amazing and my family loved it
day 567 of asking Joshua Weissman to make Stamppod
For the last several Thanksgivings, I've gotten my staple dishes down TOIT. But now. Now it is time to evolve. I was a Spatchcock boy, now I am ready to be a BONELESS BOY. Thanks, Papa.
I love how your ideal meal combines "traditional" tastes with many others (including asian flavors!!!). Can't wait to try your maitake mushroom recipe!
i thought josh was gonna make a truffle butter and stuff it under the turkey....looks amazing though, especially those brussel sprouts!!
Had to make a ballotine chicken back in culinary school. I sort of recall that it was really good, but it never since occurred to me to try this at home… with a turkey… on Thanksgiving. It is an interesting option for sure!
So, I made turkey according to this recipe today. First time deboning a bird. It was a bit of work but not impossible. Tasted amazing!
For the rolls, I add garlic powder and fresh dill to the dough, and fresh dill to the msg butter.
7:30 MSG🎶-That beautiful voice gets me every time
16:43
One singular word has never made me relate to someone this much before
I always appreciate a good deboning!
We need a whole video on boning and roasting the turkey. That was crazy. It went from Cuthulu Horror to perfect little contained roasty servings....
Hello cinema! Can I ask you a question?
Listen Josh, I’m all for dressing in an itchy early 1900’s servant outfit with a bonnet and making everything from scratch by candlelight, but there’s no way I’m having anything but that canned cranberry sauce 😌👌
I served most of these dishes today and I just had to come back and thank you so much, best food I’ve ever served, my friends couldn’t stop complimenting everything, and everyone said it was the best turkey they’ve ever had
my go to cranberry sauce recipe is real similar, but specifically uses pinot noir and adds a pinch of (for the love of all things good, home made) chinese five spice. made a day ahead so flavor has time to develop, and I blend half the batch because no one can agree on if it should be a jelly or whole berry sauce.
Great suggestion to blend half of it! I never could figure out how to make everyone happy!
I am impressed and intimidated by your turkey flattening
'you can cook boy' got me good 🤣
For us who actually cook everything you make, we would much rather see videos like this than another fast food garbage food! Love seeing stuff like this
Josh, hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your loved ones!
Hello Theresa! Can I ask you a question?

Hi Papa, my wife is a fantastic cook, but I feel bad that I'm limited on what I can afford as far as cookware, and I reallllyyyyy want to give her something incredible for Christmas so she can expand her abilities in the kitchen even more, I'd REALLY appreciate anything you could send me, I really want to surprise her with something, and I'd just love to see what she could do with more kitchen equipment. Thank you for your generosity.
My aunt cooks her turkey like this, and it is the most amazing turkey I've ever had!
Brussels sprouts are the BEST!!! I make garlic-roasted brussels sprouts with bacon every year for Thanksgiving.....and they're sooooo crispy and yum! Forget green bean casserole....brussels sprouts are where it's at!
This video mush have been so much work. Thank you for the time!
I cant with Josh “ dez nutz” 😂 but i like that pecan recipe the bourbon addition looked good !
Hello Amber! Can I ask you a question?
"the smaller the better" Josh understands me
