(No Longer Available) Thanksgiving 101 with Chef Richard McPeake

Here’s the class that will de-mystify the cooking of the ole’ holiday bird...and how to prepare traditional side dishes! 

Whether you plan to oven roast, grill, smoke, or fry your turkey, Chef Richard McPeake, an amazingly seasoned culinary instructor and chef of 30+ years, will explain absolutely everything you need to know.   

Enter the “do’s and don’ts” of cooking the PERFECT (yes, I said it!) turkey including choosing, thawing, fresh vs. frozen, injecting, brining, roasting techniques, proper cooking temperature, safe internal temperature, proper carving techniques and so much more.  Ever heard of the “slow-chill thawing method” or a “turkey cannon?”  You will after this class! 

And, if that’s not enough, he’ll cover making a turkey stock and how make an amazing Italian Sausage holiday dressing.  He would walk you through some of his favorite turkey side dishes too... like Roasted Maple Brined Turkey, Mom’s Giblet Gravy, Homemade Cranberry Sauce, Brussels Sprouts in Browned Butter (Soooo good!) and a creamy Pumpkin Crème Brûlée. Whew! 

This "one heck of a class" will give you the confidence to prepare Thanksgiving dinner at your house this year! YES, you CAN!
