Hi Laura! I've been doing this turkey recipe for several years now and it's amazing! Just every year I have the same question: how do you reheat it? Thank you!
Merry Christmas 2024, in the oven now,, I'll let you know how it turns out.. Thanks for the recipe
How can I clean my turkey
I'll try that recipe for Christmas this year! Thanks Laura, your recipes are always very tasty!
Just show us how to do it the best you know!
This is the 3rd year I cook my turkey with Laura's recipe. It is by far the best turkey recipe I have ever made!!! Thank you, keep cooking!!!
I tried it this week it was spectacular and oh so juicy..
Temperature that I followed:
My turkey was 17 lbs so
*First 30 minutes i cooked it uncovered on 445.
*then 3 hours cooked on 345 ( covered with foil completely)
*AFTER 3 hours turkeys temp was 160.. I put it at 400 for another 20 minutes.
* let it rest 20 minutes
And voilaa
I don’t understand why you’d want to dry it out before you cook it 🙀
I’ve been the “turkey dinner” provider for the last 30+ years, and Ive gotta say just this.
Thaw turkey, rinse with salt water and pat dry, stuff then place in shallow roaster with NO water and NO cover. Rub surface of the bird with olive oil and salt and pepper. Bake at 325 degrees till leg/thigh is easily pulled away from body.
These are Butterball’s directions and have not changed in 30 years. If anyone knows how to cook a bird, I’d say they know
Try it ! Google it, you won’t be sorry 😝 there’s a reason everyone flocks to my home for dinner at every occasion. 🩵
Laura rollup the herbed butter into a log and freeze then you can cut into coin shapes so easy when you put them under the skin.
I hate wet brined 😂
Phenomenal recipe! For the first time in 30 years my turkey actually came out perfect! Juicy and perfectly cooked inside, crispy on the outside !
The turkey we made yesterday was absolutely incredible! My family and I loved it, and we're already planning our leftover meals. Thanks so much for the fantastic video!
Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe it was a success for me and it’s a first time I cooked a turkey 💕💕💕🦃🦃🦃❤❤❤❤❤
This was AMAZING!!! So juicy
My turkey is 30 min away from flying out. It all looks good already. Thanks Laura for this demonstration. It's very easy to follow and straight-forward.
If my turkey is prebrined do i need to dry brine it for 24 hours?
Can I ask how long should i cover the turkey with foil?
do we need to bast it every 30min in the last 1.5 hour like your old recipe? Thank you.
put oeranges and apples in cavity with oinions
so stupid sorry we know this
I was trying to remember what turkey video I watched last year and I almost had a mental breakdown until i remembered it was this video. Thank you Laura! I don't want to change this recipe at all, this was perfect and not complicated at all. Saving this in the proper place now.
This time without us!
My turkey is in the fridge now following this recipe ❤
Vegan turkey. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/MBOjV-fI7N8?si=f53snu9gN1ZQCu2V
Laura does a really good Turkey..And so does Jamie Oliver ( who is very much inspired by Italian style cooking methods and culture) For ex He uses a spoon to push up& stretch the skin
I’ve been using this video for the past 5 years. My dad got older abs was in charge of turkey for years and when I took over no one in my family thought I would be able to take over the tradition and my whole family praises me every year that it’s better than my dads ❤
Laura, I want to do my turkey this way, for my big feast, but I don't have access to a natural un brined turkey all my stores carry is butterball, please help and let me know if I can still make this deletable looking bird for my family
Seriously invest in a Maverick thermometer or one of the newer wireless insertable meat probes. Takes ALL the guess work out of it. My Maverick is many years old but has served me well. Its wired so not a handy but one probe in the breast and the other on the oven rack. You'll be surprised on how wild your oven temp actually is. Pulley mine at 165 breast temp and rested for 2 hrs. Amazing
Laura we have been doing your recipe for 11 years it never fails ❤
Onions with skin goes in the turkey? Wasn’t that dug from the ground?
Laura thank you ! Love your videos I am so following your recipe this year !🦃 can you tell me the brand of your roasting pan?
