Simple Turkey Recipe
Here's a simple turkey recipe. This is an easy way to serve an elegant turkey
for dinner. Traditional for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner, roast turkey is
delicious and good for you. This simple turkey recipe is very basic, great for
first timers.
Ingredients:
12 pound whole turkey (thawed)
1/4 cup olive oil
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Preheat oven to 350°F. Rinse thawed turkey under cold water, inside and out, then dry with paper towels. Rub outside of turkey lightly with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
A turkey should be roasted 10 to 12 minutes per pound if it is not stuffed and 12 to 15 minutes per pound if it is stuffed.
You shouldn't cover a roast turkey (or any roasting meat); because you want the skin to get a nice, deep brown all over, and you don't want the turkey to steam in its own juices. However, if the turkey begins to brown too quickly, well before it's likely to be done, you can cover the brown parts loosely with aluminum foil. (This is likely to happen with larger turkey.) Try to cover as little of the turkey as possible so you don't create steam.
The turkey is done when you stick a fork, in the meatiest part and clear juice (as opposed to pink) runs out. A meat thermometer inserted into the part of the bird without touching the bone will read 180°F. Do not overcook. Remove turkey from oven and let sit 15-30 minutes before serving so that juices will run through.
Carve the turkey and transfer to a serving tray.
