My Ideal Thanksgiving Dinner 

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

I like how he explains how to debone a whole turkey like we're gonna do it

Josh is single handingly keeping the butter business alive ✊🏾

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!

Let’s see Josh’s version of how he’d cook for different parties, like weddings, birthdays, themed parties, etc.

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 love how the crew just approaches the spread with their hands and forks lol No plates, all love ❤️

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

We don’t celebrate Thanksgiving in the UK but it’s always satisfying to watch Papa Josh make different meals

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”

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 need the Christmas dinner version, this was just too good. Thank you Papa

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.

5:27 its a good thing i have a lot of experience rolling up green herbs as tightly as possible

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.

With a table full of super-tasty dishes like this, you'll have a long line of people outside your house for Thanksgiving!

My Australian-American family has always made pecan pie with Lyle's golden syrup so this was very validating

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!

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 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🤤)

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!

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 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 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

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!

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 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

Right on time with the king of all Thanksgiving meal videos. Thank you as always papa 🙏

I always appreciate a good deboning!

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!! 🙇🏻‍♀️

Fantastic, real cooking with real food. Thanks JW!

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.

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!

southern tradition additions: Deviled eggs (any home without a dedicated deviled egg tray is ill equipped), squash souffle, and punch bowl (for large functions)

If I had a team of 5 washing the produce and doing the dishes after, this would be my ideal thanksgiving meal too 😳

I would hear Josh singing all day, it would be a hit in spotify

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

I’ve been obsessing over various RU-vid 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

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.

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!

This is literally gorgeous, thank you for sharing!!!

This video mush have been so much work. Thank you for the time!

I appreciate that you still do your signature opening of the cupboard at the beginning of your videos.

Never knew what Pecan Pie actually consisted of…turns out it’s a Treacle Tart with pecans in, nice! 😍

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!

Hi Josh! Me and my family have been making Cuban Congri for decades now and its always been a great comfort food for the holidays. Christmas, Thanksgiving. Pretty much any holiday in Miami is a good time for Congri and a Lechon. Much love!

Those brussel sprouts look insane and I love roasted brussels with some balsamic and pancetta. Gonna have to try these out.

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

You’re very good with dough. It’s cool to see that you can really bake and cook. ❤

Dude, you really are the best food content creator out there. I’m always impressed. You’re always so detailed. Entertaining. Well done as always.

PAPA I bought your book just recently. Made a few of the sauces (DELICIOUS). Next up is the BigMac for next weekend. YOU ROCK and I WILL BE A STAR in the kitchen. Thank you!

15:10 blew my mind. I didn't know frying brussel sprouts was an option until today! Def gonna try that

I just have to say i love u U make cooking so easy im amazed 😍

Thank you for teaching me how to cook, making me know how to cook new and different dishes.

I can already tell this is going to be delicious! 😋

Hey Joshua! Could u pls pls pls🥺give us tips about how to plate our food like pros. Thank you!🥰

Love the last clip of his team enjoying the meal!

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!

I made a dark meat turchetta a few years ago. So, so good and great for smaller thanksgivings.

I love roasted brussel sprouts. The whole meal looks tasty and fantastic

Love this one

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 >:(

Can you do more if these budget gourmet dinner? ❤

Thank you. Love the recipes😍they look very yummy

I made the cornbread today, and it was amazing. Thank you so much for the recipe!!

It all looked magnificent, and nice to see the crew trying it all.

I am watching Joshua since the beginning of his channel, i think his second third video. A video he made about cookies. After so much time and so much content how is he still so interesting to watch?

This is not a dinner but a royal banquet! Simply amazing, one of your best videos so far.

This was AMAZING. Thank you. Any one of these dishes would knock it out of the park of a family dinner.

I am absolutely obsessed with all your videos but no Mac n Cheese on a thanksgiving dinner feels sacrilegious 🤣🤣🤣

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.

I made the rolls and they were amazing and my family loved it

ayyy this looks good! love this man ❤

Look forward to these every year keep it up josh

I am impressed and intimidated by your turkey flattening

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!

Vicram is absolutely killing it with the fresh editing vibes. Love it! 🔥

As a Canadian it always trips me up to see all these Thanksgiving videos in November

I find it amazing how chefs can manage all this food and not get overwhelmed I can barely make 2 things at once

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.

Okay but now I want a whole video of different ways to cook Brussel sprouts

The most relatable part of this was the brain fog Josh had after cooking an entire thanksgiving meal

Wow! That all looks amazing.

I really appreciate you doing this, I know people are hard to please but I've been WAITING for this video. Very fun lil menu.

Who’s like me looking this up getting their grocery list together 😂

I'm exhausted watching this and I didn't cook it lol this does look delicious

loved the fusion kitchen stuff in here, shirodashi gravy? insane.

Absolutely loving this! I like a spatchcocked bird, never thought to make it completely boneless. I am amazed by your creativity. Ty for all you do and share. Wishing you the best Thanksgiving yet!

I think I'll make all the dishes except the turkey, maybe one a month lol

Papa is RIGHT ON TIME with this one😍 Prep time!

Very relaxing watching my guy cook!

I’VE BEEN WAITING ALL WEEK FOR THIS VIDEOOOO

day 567 of asking Joshua Weissman to make Stamppod

Joshua, this looks FANTASTIC!

Excellent

Literally the best video ever
