  1. I do all this except I use fennel in place of celery and I also add a quartered lemon to the bottom of the pan before roasting.
    I save all of the strained stuff to add to my bones for soup broth too. I don’t waste anything.

  2. Ok. This is all standard stuff and I’m glad he puts it out there. Cooking in the giblets is new to me. I also like the temperature sequence. This Chanel rocks!

  3. Horrible. What's the purpose of adding the flour while all the stuff is still in the pan?

  4. My veggies don’t make perfect wire rack marks on my turkey like yours 😂, where do you get them veggies???

  5. I don’t know if this will get an answer, being that this vid was produced over a 1 year ago……I generally thought that a turkey ends up getting “foil tented” when oven roasting??? I didn’t see Chef Proto do that…..am I missing something?

  6. I don’t know if that turkey will have some flavor
    I marinate my turkey for four days with vegetables
    And spices turkey is very unflavored meat if you don’t marinate it in ahead

  7. Frank. I know you have the school. But why would you not strain out the drippings BEFORE you reduced them and coated all your veggies with sticky starch?!

  8. guess I should have watched BEFORE I PUT THE TURKEY IN THE OVEN!!! You will get yer hair back bruh! PEACE

  9. My family never ever made gravy, we just didn’t. I tried and failed repeatedly. After watching this video 3X today for Thanksgiving I was successful. Thank you Frank. ❤. Happy Thanksgiving
