>>> TIME TO TALK TURKEY.
AND WHO BETTER TO ANSWER ALL OF
THE LAST-MINUTE QUESTIONS THAN
THESE FOODIES.
FOOD NETWORK STAR, JEFFREY
ZAKARIAN.
AND FOOD COLUMNIST, FOR "THE NEW
YORK TIMES," MELISSA CLARK.
AND THE HOST OF SOUTHERN GIRL
MEETS VEGETARIAN BOY, DAMARIS
PHILLIPS.
WE HAVE OUR FIRST QUESTION FROM
BERNARD.
>> HI, BERNARD.
>> HAPPY THANKS GIGIVING.
>> HAPPY THANKSGIVING.
>> IF YOU ARE COOKING A TURKEY,
AND YOU FIND OUT YOU OVERCOOKED
IT, IT'S REALLY DRY, WHAT CAN
YOU DO TO MOISTEN IT UP OR GIVE
IT MORE FLAVOR?
>> EVERYONE HERE HAS HAD THAT
PROBLEM.
>> RESURRECTING THE TURKEY.
>> I PUT ON SOME CHICKEN STOCK
AND A FEW PADS OF BUTTER TO KEEP
IT WARM.
IF YOU KNOW IT'S DRY, CUT IT
THICKER.
WE WILL TAKE THE SLICES, ABOUT
THREE-QUARTERS OF AN INCH THICK.
AND WE'RE GOING TO PUT IT INSIDE
THE WARM TURKEY BROTH WITH THE
BUTTER, LIKE THAT.
AND THEN, JUST DOUSING IT WITH
GRAVY WON'T WORK.
YOU TAKE IT OUT AFTER A FEW
SECONDS.
PUT IT ON THE PLATE.
THAT'S GOING TO GIVE YOU A VERY
MOIST, DRY BIRD.
>> THAT'S IT?
THAT'S SO SIMPLE.
THAT'S REALLY GOOD.
LISA, FROM PARKRIDGE,
NEW JERSEY.
>> I FIND IT DIFFICULT TO MAKE
GRAVY.
IT COMES OUT TOO THICK OR IT
SEPARATES.
>> THE LAST THING YOU WANT TO DO
WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO CARVE THE
TURKEY IS TO MAKE THE GRAVY.
IF YOU CAN MAKE IT AHEAD, OR IF
YOU USE A CAN, THAT'S PERFECTLY
FINE.
HERE'S HOW TO GET THE DRIPPINGS
FLAVOR IN THERE.
THE BEST PART OF THE TURKEY IS
THE DRIPPINGS.
YOU HEAT IT UP.
YOU TAKE YOUR PAN.
YOU TAKE CHICKEN STOCK OR TURKEY
STOCK AND POUR IT IN.
YOU WANT TO SCRAPE UP THE
DRIPPINGS.
AND YOU ADD IT RIGHT TO YOUR
FRAI
FLAVOR IN THERE.
PEOPLE WILL THINK YOU MADE THE
WHOLE THING HOMEMADE.
AND IT'S EASY.
>> EVEN I COULD DO THAT.
THAT'S THE TEST.
BARBARA FROM SOUTH CAROLINA HAS
A QUESTION FOR DEMARIS.
>> I DO.
SINCE EVERYBODY IS LOCOOKING A LOT
TODAY, AND THEY GOT ALL THEIR
RECIPES OUT, AND THEY'RE COOKING
HOT.
SO, WE WANT TO KNOW, I WANT TO
KNOW, WHEN YOU, WHEN YOU DO
THAT, HOW DO YOU KEEP IT ALL
WARM THAT DAY?
>> WITHOUT A CHEF'S KITCHEN.
>> I ALWAYS RUN OUT OF ROOM IN
MY OVEN.
BUT I HAVE A TRICK FOR YOU.
YOU TAKE YOUR CASSEROLE DISHES.
DON'T FILL THEM UP ALL THE WAY.
TAKE A COOKIE CHEAT ON THE TOP.
AND ANOTHER DISH CAN GO ON TOP
OF THAT.
YOU DOUBLED THE ROOM IN YOUR
OVEN, RIGHT?
YOU CAN USE YOUR COOLER.
A COOLER KEEPS STUFF COOL AND
ALSO KEEPS IT HOT.
FILL IT UP WITH HOT WATER, DRAIN
THE WATER OUT, AND YOU HAVE A
HOT BOX.
YOU CAN PUT THINGS INTO THAT
COOLER, RIGHT?
>> YOU'RE SAYING DON'T PUT IT IN
THE MICROWAVE FOR A MINUTE?
>> THE TRUTH IS, MICROWAVES ARE
FINE.
>> I THOUGHT THAT WAS A SIN.
THE CHEFS HAVE THEIR OWN TIPS
THEY WANT TO
Shh...
