Last year was Bryan and my first Thanksgiving together at home and we came up with the yummiest and moist turkey.
(12-15lbs)
Ingredients:
Turkey defrosted and at room temperature
Preheat Oven 400 degrees
2 Oranges
Pink Salt
1/2 onion chopped
Parsely
2 Carrots
Tops and bottoms of Celery
Oil
Pepper
Thyme
Rosemary
Directions:
Rinse Turkey
Lather inside with 2 oranges juice
Rub Pink Salt over inside generously
Chop and stuff inside turkey for flavor:
Onion, bunk of parsley (it can be dry) carrots and celery
Rub outside with oil and then generously add salt and rub. Then add pepper.
THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT!!!! ITS THE KEY TO MOIST TURKEY MEAT
Place turkey breast DOWN in pot, tray or whatever you normally cook your turkey in.
Then add some thyme and rosemary on top of the turkey.
Cooking times:
400 degress----1/2 hour
reduce to 350 degrees---- 2 hours
reduce again to 225 degrees--- 1 1/2 hours and flip turkey :) its a little tricky but do it.
Then its done :)
If you want to make homemade gravy... keep the drippings and add cornstarch until desired thickness
