The Mindjet Labs

My brother is a chef in San Francisco and this time of year everybody asks him for advice on how to prepare their Thanksgiving Turkey.  Here is his recipe as a map.  You can export it from MindManager as a Word document and print it out to follow the steps:

"In the kitchen, we learn to prepare things differently, depending on how they cook.  If you've ever eaten turkey before, you're familiar with the uneven cooking syndrome:  If the breasts are juicy, the legs and thighs aren't done, and if the dark meat is done, the white meat ends up like cardboard.  The worst sin here it that roasting the bird doesn't give you what you need for the most important part: gravy.  What I like to do is braise the legs, thighs, and wings (like Osso Buco) until they're falling off the bone and roast the breasts off the bone (like a Prime Rib) until it’s about medium and still juicy.  This requires a little more effort, but a lot less time, guesswork, and fiddling."

Note: Mindjet or Mindjet Labs do not provide technical support for the implementation of this project; it is not covered by Mindjet Support contracts.  For free turkey preparation help, please call the Butterball Turkey Talk-Line.

If you come to his restaurant, say that Michael sent you.
