Roasted Turkey - Stuffed
Traditional Thanksgiving choice in our family.
Cooking Instructions
- 1
IF Frozen, thaw turkey 24 hrs per every 10 lbs of turkey or you can thaw turkey in wrapper in cold water 30minutes per lb. changing water every hour.
- 2
I prefer Butterball brand or Norbest turkeys for their larger breasts.
- 3
Pour 1 cup of water into roaster and preheat oven or roaster to 325 degrees.
- 4
Stuff turkey cavity with dressing.
- 5
Place turkey in roaster and baste with melted butter. Then season generously with lemon pepper and sparingly with salt.
- 6
Be sure to allow 2.5 hours of bake time for each 10 lbs of turkey. SO, a 22 lb. turkey will take approximately 5 hours to roast.
- 7
Check for doneness with meat thermometer. 170° for the breast and 180° for the thigh.
- 8
When turkey is done, use the cooked juices from the roaster to make turkey gravy.

The British Embassy in Japan is hosting a campaign called "Food is GREAT: A Taste of Britain" for people to experience British cooking firsthand. There is more information on Facebook.http://www.facebook.com/oishii.igirisuYou can also use ground pork instead of sausage meat. After seasoning with salt and pepper, let it sit for 30 to 60 minutes before baking. Please spoon the cooked juices over the meat as it's baking. The opening where the turkey was stuffed will burn easily, so please cover with aluminum foil. You can optionally use carrots, onions, or turnips to accompany the turkey.

Traditional Roasted Turkey Traditional Roasted Turkey
I've been roasting turkeys for several years now, and not a just on thanksgiving. While I will say that smoking a turkey is the absolute best you can get (yes, even over frying), sometimes you want those traditional autumn flavors of sage and thyme with salty crackly turkey skin that comes from a traditional roasting process. I use a dry brine and place a compound butter under the skin to give the meat an extra layer of herbed flavor. The turkey is spatchcocked, which not only cuts down the cooking time and exposes the skin for crisping that typically get soggy with a whole bird roast, but it allows the turkey to lay flat so you can fit other things in the oven while it's cooking.
