Forgot to pre-sear turkey

trevordrumm

i did a trial run with a small turkey a couple days ago, and made it perfectly to spec and it. was. amazing.

Fast forward to today, prepping the bigger bird for tomorrow. And in all the hoopla, I COMPLETELY forgot to pre-sear the turkey before bagging it up. Since I've already started cooking the legs, I'm not taking those out to sear them now. And the breasts have been sitting in the fridge with all the salt/sugar and everything on them for hours so if I sear those now before the Sous vide I'm sure they'll be different with all those ingredients on them. Do I have anything to be worried about as long as I still do a good post sear?? I've convinced my wife's family they'll have the best turkey ever and I don't want to disappoint!!

Carry on a without going back. Post sear and be confident that the heavy lifting of the moist, tender tukey is being accomplished by the sous vide waters! So relax and enjoy your evening and don't fret for another second!

Gobble gobble and Happy Thanksgiving!

No worries, the pre sear add a little flavor but not enough to worry about. It's still going to be very tender and juicy. Happy Thanksgiving!

Previously never preseared and results always excellent. Enjoy!

How did it turn out?

I should have posted sooner, but it still turned out absolutely amazing. I was worried too because I got ambitious and used a 22# turkey. The pieces that I cut up were so large, I had multiple pans going to sear them after they finished cooking. But it still turned out awesome, in fact I didn't notice any difference in flavor from the first demo turkey I made a few days prior in which I remembered to pre-sear it. Viva la Joule!
