Thanksgiving Roasted Turkey Recipe Video
Roasting the perfect turkey can be very tricky as it is easy to end up with tasteless, dry meat. Especially the turkey breast. This turkey turns out flawless because it soaks in brine for 24 hours and then it is roasted.
Ingredients
Turkey
Garlic salt
Sage
Freshly ground black pepper
Medium yellow onion
2 celery stalks
1 carrot halved
1 teaspoon ground sage
Salt and pepper
Please see video
Directions
Remove the turkey from the brine, rinse it and then pat dry it well with paper towels.
Rub inside of the breast meat and all of the outer skin with a mixture of garlic salt, sage and freshly ground black pepper.
Place a quartered, seeded red apple, a quartered, medium yellow onion, 2 celery stalks halved and 1 carrot halved into the cavity. It will enhance the flavor overall.
Tie the legs with kitchen twine. Once that is done the turkey must sit at room temperature for 25 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees and cook your turkey at this temperature, breast side down, for one hour.
Remove the bird from the oven and baste it with a melted stick of butter mixed with 1 teaspoon ground sage and salt and pepper.
Flip it over in the roasting pan so that you now have it breast side up.
Lower the heat in your oven to 375 degrees and cook the turkey until a thermometer registers 175 degrees when inserted in the thickest part of the thigh.
Make sure to baste the turkey every hour with the pan juices. Cover it with foil of it is getting too dark.
This turkey was 15 pounds and it cooked for four hours. Tent it at the last hour.
