Perfecting Your Thanksgiving Turkey

Roasting a turkey can be a daunting task, but with a few simple tips, you can create a delicious and impressive centerpiece for your Thanksgiving feast.

Preparation is Key:

Thawing: Ensure your turkey is completely thawed before cooking.
Brining: Brining your turkey can help keep it moist and flavorful. Soak it in a saltwater solution for several hours or overnight.
Seasoning: Generously season your turkey with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices.

Cooking Time and Temperature:

Preheat: Preheat your oven to the recommended temperature, usually around 325°F (165°C).
Cooking Time: Calculate the cooking time based on the weight of your turkey. A general rule of thumb is 15 minutes per pound of unstuffed turkey.
Internal Temperature: The turkey is done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh.

Resting:

Let it Rest: Allow the turkey to rest for at least 20 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a moist and flavorful bird.
