Only thing missing from this delicious-sounding recipe is the truth.
People typically ask two questions about this recipe: First, is it real? Second, would the popcorn in fact blow the ass off the turkey when it's done?
As to the first question, the answer is no, it's not real. It's rather obviously a culinary joke, and a fairly old one at that. The oldest variant we've found to date was published in 1970. Here it is, direct from theWe found a few more variants, but most of them were slight rewordings aimed at avoiding the word"ass" . Before the advent of the internet, one might have ventured to say that no one would be silly enough to actually attempt this recipe.
Some people have expressed skepticism that, given the physics of popcorn, the kernels would even pop under the conditions specified in the recipe, much less cause a stuffing explosion., uncooked popcorn typically needs to reach a temperature of 355 degrees F before the steam pressure inside the kernels causes them to burst:
The reason why popcorn pops is the water trapped inside its kernel. If the kernel is heated to a high enough temperature, this water will transform into steam. Due to the hard and mostly nonporous shell, the steam has nowhere to go, resulting in a buildup of pressure inside the kernel. Once the pressure gets high enough and the temperature reaches about 180 degrees Celsius , the kernel hull bursts and the popcorn is turned inside out.
We briefly considered conducting this experiment ourselves, but fortunately a Google search led us to someone who had already done it and published the results . For his Substack newsletter, Food Is Stupid,tried a modified version of the viral recipe using Stove Top stuffing mix and a chicken instead of a turkey. Long story short, the experiment failed miserably, but don't take our word for it.
