do you know how to cook a turkey?

Answer 1

yep:
1) Pull the bird out. do what you want with the giblets (Some people use em for gravy or eat them). Put a turkey thermometer into the bird (you can buy these at the store).
2) Get a turkey bag and put seasonings and a good handful of flower. Coat the turkey in butter (use your hands, it's more fun) and then put it in the bag. shake a bit. the flour keeps it from sticking to the bag. use the sealing strand provided with the bag to seal the bottom of the bag. now place the bagged turkey BREAST SIDE DOWN in a pan of sufficient size. you cook the turkey upside down like this because it lets the juice drip from the fattier back down to the normally dry-out prone front... trust me on this one.
3) cook at 350 - 375 degrees farenheit until the little thermometer pops out... generally should take at least a couple hours to go, depending on the size of your bird.
4)Remove bird from oven, cut open bag and take turkey out. carve and enjoy.

or my favorite for if you're just making a turkey breast:
coat lightly in olive oil, smother with seasoning salt, black pepper and a bit of crushed red pepper (spicy). wrap the turkey breast in bacon strips. now wrap the whole thing in thick tin foil. slap that packet on the barbeque and grill her up till she's nicely done. best turkey breast i've ever had.

Answer 2

Rub it all over with butter. Sprinkle it liberally with salt and a little pepper. Put it on a rack in a roasting pan in a preheated 450 degree oven, then immediately reduce the heat to 325 degrees. Roast uncovered for 20-25 minutes a pound, basting occasionally with melted butter and white wine.

Answer 3

in a nesco roaster, it's 15 minutes per pound of turkey at 350 degrees. check it after a couple hours (with bigger birds) to see if drumstick is separating from the bird.

Answer 4

Yes and I make sure I cook it until it start falling apart so I know it is done and I like it real juicy also.

Answer 5

Relax...this isn't as bad as u think. First suggestion, follow package directions for cooking time/temperature. Second, rinse your bird well with cold water inside & out, then pat dry with paper towel. Make sure you have a roasting pan that fits your bird (I use disposable, way less clean up). Also, use a roasting bag (Reynolds). You don't have to worry about basting the turkey that way. Season & if u like stuff with favorite stuffing recipe. Butter or oil the top of your bird for a nice golden brown skin before putting it into the roasting bag. Use a meat thermometer to make sure your bird is cooked completely. Good luck & Happy Thanksgiving!
