Directions:
- Bring your turkey to room temperature.
- If frozen, thaw according to label directions.
- An ice cold or very cold turkey does not roast well.
- Some cooks rinse the turkey with water and pat it dry.
- When you handle any poultry be very careful and clean with preparation and cleanup.
- Season the turkey inside and out liberally with the above seasonings.
- If you want a stuffed turkey it is very convenient to use a cheesecloth to enclose the stuffing for the turkey cavity.
- Stuff just prior to baking.and remove the stuffing after baking.
- This avoids any chance of spoilage and also aids in proper
- Cooling of turkey and stuffing.
- Liberally spread some oil or melted margarine etc. ( sometimes I even use mayonnaise or even honey ) over the seasoned turkey.
- Use a large enough roaster pan to hold the turkey.
- I place a layer of onions, celery and carrots beneath
- The turkey which flavors the gravy for later.
- Place t e roaster pan on the lower oven shelf and start
- Initial baking at preheated 375 to 400 degrees for 30
- To 45 minutes.
- Then reduce the heat to 350 or 325 degrees to complete the baking process.
- Baste freqently with pan juices and rotate the pan several
- Times for even browning.
- Generally allow 15 to 20 minutes per pound for roasting.
- A stuffed turkey requires the greater additional time per pound.
- I always use an oven thermometer; some turkey's have pop up timers.
- When the turkey is finished cooking, allow to stand
- About 20 minutes to 1/2 hour before carving.
- Juices settle and it is much easier to carve.
- I also enjoy decorating the turkey legs with foil for a festive
- Look.
