This recipe was a real turkey – even if there was none in it.
A one-pot Thanksgiving recipe video is turning stomachs, with outraged critics calling it “one of the most disgusting things I’ve ever seen” and warning others to “DO NOT try this at home.” .
In the clip, which has received over 7.5 million views so far, content creator Kate Heintzelman places a raw, unwashed chicken in an aluminum pan and then proceeds to add all of her raw side dishes — straight from the box or the box.
It was a recipe for disaster – and Instagrammers slammed her for the unhygienic food preparation, with comments such as “What’s going on here raw chicken contamination salmonella”, “How are you not dead from not washing everyone? already meat ?” and “How many people have you killed?”
Some, however, defended him, saying: “It’s not cross-contamination … have you never cooked meat with vegetables?”
Heintzelman, 32, told The Post there’s nothing wrong with putting a live chicken in a pan of raw vegetables.
“So you can’t put the chicken on anything then? You put a roast in a pot of potatoes. Are you telling me you can’t eat the potatoes because they touched raw meat at some point? That doesn’t make sense to me,” she said.
She also doesn’t understand all the tweets about not washing the bird.
“You can have 100 people telling you to rinse the chicken. Then if you rinse your chicken, people say, ‘Why are you rinsing your chicken?'” she said.
Heintzelman, a former Minnesota high school social studies teacher who launched her Instagram handle @katewilltryanything during the pandemic, used mashed potatoes and boxed stuffing, along with corn, pancakes and green beans all poured straight from the can.
“Not even salt and pepper?!” commented a shocked observer.
“I hope no one cooks like this for their family,” added another. “Thanksgiving is about cooking with love and gratitude.”
Heintzelman defended her decision to use fast ingredients and not cook from scratch.
“I am not my grandmother. And it’s really hard to remember how to do all these things at home and it takes a lot of time,” she said.
“I want a whole Thanksgiving dinner, and if it’s just me and two or three other people, and it’s going to be 100 pans to make things… I said, ‘What if we throw it all in a pan?’
Heintzelman really enjoyed the finished product and noted that “the potatoes were a little burnt, but everything else turned out great.”
Many Instagram users joked that she would be banned from cooking for their Thanksgiving celebrations.
“In our family, you’ll be asked to bring napkins,” quipped one.
“You can bring the scrolls. Shop bought,” added another.
“Damn it, just bring the ice,” someone else said.
“Yeah, people don’t want me to be in charge of cooking,” she said with a laugh.
Heintzelman is planning a one-skillet ham for Christmas.
