This Southern sauce features Or frozen turkey. It delivers hearty, protein-packed satisfaction. A reliable recipe that works well for everyday cooking. Simple to make with ingredients you likely already have on hand, this is a recipe you will come back to again and again.Ingredients
Directions
-
Oil, or melted margarine, Or even mayonnaise or Honey Salt Pepper Paprika Garlic powder Poultry seasoning Stuffing/ gravy(optional) Onions, celery , carrots 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 the 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 frequently with pan juices and rotate the pan several times for even browning.
-
allow 15 to 20 minutes per pound for roasting.A stuffed turkey requires the 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.
