Roast Turkey
Ingredients
Turkey
Instructions
- It has been our experience that the time it takes to roast a fresh turkey is considerably shorter than that of a frozen one. We urge you to use the ‘Test for Doneness’ (see below) at the shortest range, as various factors can affect the cooking time (i.e. ratio of bird-to-oven, initial temperature of turkey, varying temperatures in individual ovens). All times are based on a 325°F oven.
- Remove turkey from packaging. Remove giblets and neck (save for other uses)
- Rinse turkey with cold water ensuring not to forget the neck cavity. Pat dry both cavities and the outside of the turkey.
- Tuck wing tips back. Stuff if desired. Do not stuff ahead of time, only just before cooking.
- Draw neck skin over stuffing and secure to body, tie legs together or tucked-in position.
- Place turkey, breast side up, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan.
- For a crispy skin, slip hand between skin and breast and moisten with vegetable oil.
- Season with Bloor Meat Market’s House Spice or a low sodium seasoning.
- Cover loosely with a tin foil tent, shiny side facing inward.
- Roast turkey using the roasting instructions below , basting every 30-40 minutes
- ‘Test for Doneness’ at the lowest time shown in your turkey’s weight range
- Remove foil during the last 45 minutes and baste 2-3 more times
- Let stand 15 minutes before carving
