If you will be entertaining guests while its cooking use the bag.


I probably only basted the turkey like 3 times and it was moist.



What do you use to baste it with?


I only put a tiny bit of water in the pan when I put it in the oven... so mostly its own juices.


I tossed on some mrs dash garlic herb and pepper.. and sprayed with olive oil cooking spray... It turned out good.


That sounds easy.happy

We had sweet potato lasagna today for our first Vegetarian Thanksgiving in a long time. I do not miss having to pick the bones for soup, or the greasy clean up afterward. I also was happy that I did not have to wait 3-5 hours for it to cook. :wink:

Do you or don't you put the turkey in a plastic bag when you cook it?


My turkey came in a plastic bag. After all, isn't that what Taco Bell puts their Grilled Stuffed burritos in? :laughing:

Wanna have a nice moist turkey???

Go to Food Network and look up the brine for turkey. mix up the brine and soak the turkey for a few hours in it. Drain it and put the turkey in your roaster.

No basting needed.

Also, cooking it in a VERY hot oven for the first hour or so ( if I recall correctly ) and then taking it out and putting aluminum foil over the breast will keep the breast from drying out before it gets to the right temperature.

I have always rubbed mine with butter, salt free seasonings, and added a large onion in the body cavity. It steams the bird from the inside. (No stuffing it makes the turkey spoil faster.) Cover the wings with foil and set it on a rack. Do not use forks to lift bird into the pan as the holes acts as drains and drys the bird.

I cook it in a hot 425*F oven AFTER it is preheated for the first hour. This seers the skin and holds the natural juices in it. Then turn bach to 350*F. At that point you can tent it with foil and baste it about each half hour. But close the oven door while you are basteing or the oven looses too much heat and your bird won't be fully cooked.

The last thirty minutes uncover the wings and baste at least once so they are crisp. The inner most part of the breast needs to be 190*F but if you puncture it several times it will drain the juice out of the bird and make it dry.

Let the bird set for 30 minutes covered before carveing. If you want to keep the bird hot so you can cook side dishes cover the foil with a heavy bath towel folded to keep the heat in.

I have never used a turkey bag. I just stuff butter (oh, and use real butter if you can) under the skin and baste it every 20-30 minutes. Works out fine flowerforyou
Thats what we do, tasty and juicy every single time. The key is just go by what your meat thermomater says, not the lil pop up thing. If you overcook it... its just over from there ohwell
