How to cook turkey?

Question

baking turkey breast

Answer 1

INGREDIENTS:
-5- to 7-pound fresh (or frozen and thawed) turkey breast
-Kosher salt and ground pepper
-Dried herbs and spices of choice:
(sage, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder)
Vegetable oil

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

Brush the turkey breast with vegetable oil. Sprinkle liberally with salt, pepper, herbs, and spices.

Insert meat thermometer to the center of the breast. Wrap and seal the breast in extra-heavy aluminum foil, with the face of the meat thermometer on the outside of the foil for viewing. Place on a wire rack in a shallow roasting pan.

Roast the turkey breast until the meat thermometer reaches 170 degrees F. (about 2 to 2-3/4 hours). Open the aluminum foil about 30 minutes before the breast is done and baste 2 times with the drippings.

Answer 2

Make sure the turkey is thawed properly, then put it in a foiled lined roasting pan, and season with you favorite seasonings, we use garlic and onion powder, put water in the bottom of the pan, then cover with foil, and poke small holes into the top foil for steam to escape, bake at 325 degree oven, about every 45 mins, baste the turkey, and recover, this will keep the turkey moist. About a half hour before the turkey is done remove the top foil, so the turkey can brown. It will be tender and delicious. Happy Cooking and Happy Holidays. P.S. The cooking time varies depending on the size of your turkey, it should say on the label how long to cook, make sure the turkey is brown and not pink.
