Brine it over night. Lots of salt and stock.
We always cook ours in the Reynolds turkey bags (you can get them in the aluminum foil aisle). Rub a stick of butter on the outside of the turkey and then place squares of the butter all over it. Follow the directions that come with the turkey bag and you should have a perfect turkey.
Put in oven 250 before you go to bed fill a pan of water with spices and herbs put it under the turkey the rack under it in oven wake up to a moist bird! Absolutely amazing . Of course you have to season it and all .
Flip it upside down so the breast are under . Use a cooking bag - open it up 20 minutes before it’s done to brown . I make stuffing with Italian sausage fresh celery and onions , & chicken stock
I get 2 big Turkey breast from Walmart. They are in bag, you just puncture bag and cook. They are soooo yummy. Jenny O Turkey breast.
Ina Garten and make some thyme butter to spread under the skin, YUM
GET A FRESH TURKEY FROM HARRISONS ON WAUKEGAN IN GLENVIEW. Brine the bird over nihgt. a boxed brine, of seasonings that will juice up the bird. It needs to cook about 20 min per pound. If roasting, put it in a rack and tuck the wing tips into the legs so they dont burn. remember to let the bird sit about 15 mins after so all the juices can settle. If you are gonna deep fry or smoke one that is another whole process.
The key is to coat the skin with olive oil or butter to brown it and use an oven bag. Keep it simple.
I use the Turkey bags it’s always moist
Deep fry it. Perfect weekend for it.
I put fresh herbs. Sage, rosemary and thyme. With butter UNDER the skin. Inside the turkey I salt pepper and fill with leeks, carrots, and celery. And pour 2 cans of chicken broth inside. then season outside with an herbed salt. Cook covered. Then uncover last 40 min to get skin crispy. Will FALL OFF THE BONE. I PROMISE
Butter under the skin, stuff the cavity with fruit, oranges, lemons apples, maybe celery too. It will keep it from drying out and the fruit is aromatic.
Brine that bird first. It’s so easy and it makes for a terrific feast.
Best way to roast a turkey is to use beef instead.
Brine it first
I make mine greek style. Always comes out juicy and tendsr without brining. Pm me for recipe
Crock pot with mccormicks turkey rub. Add a cup of chicken broth and . 5 stick of butter
Just don’t overcook it and it will be fine. The directions are on the package. Make sure it’s fully defrosted. Are you cooking a whole turkey or just a breast? Use the leftovers for turkey tetrazzini, turkey pot pie and cream of turkey and wild rice soup. Enjoy your turkey dinner!
Turkey bags!
Deep fried turkey
Brine the turkey. There are a million brine recipes or buy a premade brine kit on amazon.
Use a turkey bag Follow instructions on the box
I use Butterball turkeys and use a Reynolds cooking bag. It comes out juicy every time!
Spatchcock it, it will cook more quickly and more evenly.
Great idea
