Moist Turkey Roasting Instructions:
Requirements:
* One thawed, 12-14 pound turkey
* Melted butter to be used for moistening the bird
* Salt and pepper
* Roasting pan and wire poultry rack
* Meat thermometer
* Pastry brush
1. Start by placing the oven rack in the lowest position.
2. Set out a one quart saucepan on the stove top and fill half full with cold water and one teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
3. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
4. Remove the turkey from its packaging, remove neck and giblets from inside the bird’s cavity, rinse them and place in the sauce pan. Set the sauce pan burner temperature to simmer and cook until done 2 hours or so.
5 Rinse the turkey, both inside and out, using cold water.
6. Place the oven rack in the lowest position.
7. Put the turkey inside the roasting pan, with the breast side up, on a roasting rack
8. Brush the bird’s exterior with the melted butter to help moisten it.
9. Using salt and pepper, sprinkle the turkey’s body and cavity to season it to taste.
Overall tips
* As a rule of thumb, the turkey should be roasted 10 to 12 minutes per pound if un-stuffed. I never put stuffing in the turkey because I use the turkey drippings later in both the stuffing and gravy recipes.
* Uncovered turkeys result in a brown exterior that is more appealing, but cooking it uncovered,tends to result in dried sections on the legs and breast, so I cook the turkey covered with an aluminum foil tent shaped down around the bird for 2/3 of the cooking time and uncovered for the final 1/3.
