Does anyone have a recipe for cooking a turkey by burying it in the ground?

Question

From what I remember we dug a hole, i believe stuck a grate in the bottom of the hole added the hot charcoals, added another grate, wrapped the turkey in lots of layers of foil, set on the grate and buried the whole thing. Not sure if I have that in the correct order and how long it took to cook.

Answer 1

I could hardly stop laughing at the answers you are getting, so I'll show you some mercy. Use this and improvise, it's for cooking a pig in the ground, same concept but different meat. Good Luck, lol.

Answer 2

you need to dig a small hole , put hot charcoals under and over the meat. you need to cover the meat with a lot of aluminum foil, 2 or 3 times and inside the foil you need to have the meat covered with a baking paper about 4 sheets of paper. you can also put peppers inside. this recipe is totally awesome and can be done even better with lamp. i guess you burned it because you put too much charcoals and left it too long. turkey is roasting very fast so i guess it needs half the time you need for beaf. if it's a whole turkey and big, maybe about an hour ? I have done this only with lamp and it takes a while.

all that work for ONE turkey ..> ???? Now if it is 5 ok
dig a hole,, line with rocks,, build a huge fire,, cover coals with wet burlap,, stuff and spice the bird ,,and wrap in wet bedsheets cover all that with a canvas and secure the edge to prevent any dirt getting under and more dirt to hold everything down and the heat in.
NOW,, you have no idea or controll of the condition of cooking,, speed,, HA
you may be making jerkey turkey.
good luckHA ☺

Answer 4

Yes, but it has to be a really deep hole so that the turkey gets cooked by the heat coming from Earth's molten core.

Answer 5

Yes, pit roasting has been around for a few years. Do a search and there are tons of websites for recipes.
