Secrets of a Juicy Turkey

THAW PROPERLY

  • If your turkey is frozen allow 24 hrs in the refrigerator for each 5 pounds of turkey weight.
  • Butter 'em Up.   Brush the turkey with butter or oil to keep the skin moist. (do this often)
  • Check the temp - according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture turkey is safe to eat at 165 degrees.
  • Make sure you cover the turkey with foil during the first portion of roasting so the breast does not get done too quickly.
  • REST WELL - Let the turkey stand 15 to 20 minutes before carving to let the juices settle.
