Roasted Turkey in a Roasting Bag

Tips for the Best Roasted Turkey

1. Thawing: Make sure your turkey is completely thawed before roasting. This can take several days in the refrigerator for larger birds.
2. Brining: For extra moisture and flavor, consider brining your turkey in a saltwater solution the night before roasting.
3. Crispier Skin: If you prefer crispy skin, you can remove the turkey from the bag during the last 30 minutes of cooking and roast it uncovered.
4. Gravy: Use the drippings from the bag to make a flavorful gravy. Simply strain the juices into a saucepan, add a little flour or cornstarch for thickening, and simmer until thickened.

Storing

• In the fridge: Leftover turkey can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
• In the freezer: For longer storage, freeze leftover turkey in an airtight container for up to 4 months.

Serving Suggestions

Pair your roasted turkey with classic sides like mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and green bean casserole. Don’t forget a delicious pumpkin or pecan pie for dessert!
