Grant Achatz Makes a Moist Sous Vide Turkey
For your ever-so-gently-surreal Thanksgiving viewing pleasure, Alinea's Grant Achatz breaks down and sous vides a turkey -- just like Grandma used to. No vacuum sealer or immersion circulator needed. Sadly, there's no nitrogen-blasted green bean casserole or marshmallow and yam alginate spheres on the menu this time, but hey -- there's always Christmas.

Hope that helps.

While water has great heat capacity, placing all the meat in at once would seem to be a little risky to leaving the meat in the danger zone. I'd have a couple thermometers on hand and place one in the water and one in the meat to make sure everything is ok. Also, maybe once the meat goes in, turn up the burner until heat is added back to account for the immediate drop. Maybe even add a little acid to the pouch to make it a less hospitable environment (however you may have a cross sous vide/ceviche).
