A Winning Roast Turkey Recipe

Roasted turkey is a mouthwatering meal usually served at holiday gatherings, yet turkey is a tasty meal anytime. Keep this roast turkey recipe handy as it is a simple method for preparing a dinner the family will love.

Choose a plump turkey, about 17 pounds. Remove giblets and the neck from inside the turkey. Clean and dry thoroughly inside and out then liberally rub it with kosher salt. In a small bowl, combine one tablespoon of crumbled rosemary, two teaspoons ground sage, two teaspoons of dried thyme, one teaspoon of salt and one teaspoon of pepper. Rub this mixture in each cavity. Be sure to save a bit of this spice mix.

Take your favorite sage and onion stuffing and loosely pack in into the cavity. Once completed sew the cavity closed or use cotton string and small lacing skewers to close the cavity. Tuck in the turkey wings and be sure any loose skin is tucked in.

To provide extra flavor, wrap bacon around the wings and thighs. Melt some butter and brush the turkey then sprinkle the bird with some garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper.

Cook the turkey at 375 degrees (uncovered) basting frequently with the pan juice, chicken or turkey broth. In one hour, baste then use the remaining spice mixture and sprinkle the bird. Create an aluminum foil tent and loosely cover the bird’s breast. Reduce oven to 325 degrees and roast another hour.

Remove foil and continue cooking until a temperature reading reads 165 degrees(inserted into the thickest portion of the thigh).Once the turkey has been cooked thoroughly and is golden brown, let it sit for fifteen minutes. This allows it to set therefore making it easier to carve. Prepare your favorite vegetables and turkey gravy to accompany the roast turkey.
