ROAST TURKEY

roast turkey



Allow 15 minutes for every pound, according to the Simply Recipes website. Start cooking the turkey at 400 degrees for the first half hour, and then reduce heat to 350 for next two hours. Reduce heat to 225 for the next hour and a half.

The instructions say to roast breast side down.  I'll have to try that sometime.

March 28   25 pounds.  More traditional settings.  340 for the duration.  Thawed this guy in a cooler over a couple days.  Next time turn the bird over.  Bottom was still icy.

Roasting in anticipation of Cory and Katie.
Stuffed with bag stuffing and some added left over bread
sprayed with olive oil
Put in at 405 degrees for a half hour but extended the time because I forgot to hit START to preheat and the turkey was still pretty cold.  At twenty minutes there was not much show of cooking.  I left it fifteen minutes more and then turned it down to 355 degrees.
