Cooking aTurkey




How I did it:

Brine for 14 hours

Lots of garlic and butter
More butter
Root veggies and chicken stock
Baked for 30 min at 500 deg F
Turned down to 350 deg F
Cooked until internal thigh temp read 181 and breast at 161.

  • Temperature probe issues caused some gaps in the data.
  • Also learned to fully insert probe when checking temp out of the oven.
  • Also also learned there's plenty of wiggle room for roasting time, still keeping the turkey moist.  
  • One hour roasting time is probably perfect.  Maybe because of Brining?
