Perfect Thanksgiving Turkey
Our House Turkey Blend makes flavoring your Thanksgiving turkey as easy as can be. This simple roasting recipe is great for turkey beginners. To ensure maximum flavor, prepare your bird by following our recipe for the perfect turkey brine.
Yield: 1 Turkey
Preparation Instructions:
Bring turkey to room temperature before cooking. If it is cold from the fridge, it will not cook evenly and could come out dry. It is best to set the bird out on the kitchen counter for roughly 30-40 minutes before placing it in the oven.
While your bird comes to room temperature, preheat your oven to 325 degrees.
Rub one teaspoon of House Blend Turkey mix per pound of meat onto your turkey.
Place celery, onion, 1-2 oranges, and bay leaves on bottom of a large roasting pan. Place seasoned turkey on bed of vegetables. (Just make sure the bird is not sitting directly on the bottom of the pan.)
Bake the bird for roughly 3-4 hours, until the internal temperature of the bird reaches 165 degrees. (This goes for any stuffing inside the bird too.) Baste frequently while cooking to ensure a juicy bird.
When the turkey has finished cooking, let it rest for a minimum of 15-20 minutes before carving. This usually gives you time to make gravy from any pan juices.
Seve on a bed of remaining oranges and pomegranates.
