HOW TO COOK A TURKEY
The biggest myth in all of American cookery is that a juicy, perfectly cooked turkey is difficult for the novice cook to achieve. Even if this is your first time, don't play scared, this will work! There is nothing to fear but the fear of dry turkey itself.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Place onion, celery, and carrot in a large, shallow roasting pan.
- Place turkey, breast side up, on top of the vegetables in the roasting pan. Pat the outside and inside of the turkey dry with paper towels.
- Combine salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Season the inside of the turkey with about 1/3 of the salt mixture. Fold wing tips under the bird.
- Melt butter in small saucepan over medium heat until the edges begin to turn golden, about 2 minutes. Cook and stir rosemary and sage for 1 minute.
- Place rosemary and sage inside the cavity of the turkey; reserve melted butter. Tie the legs together with twine.
- Brush outside of the turkey completely with the melted butter. Season with remaining 2/3 of the salt mixture.
- Bake turkey, uncovered, in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 3 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). Remove the turkey from the oven and allow to rest in a warm area 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Place rack in the lowest position of the oven.
- Remove the turkey neck and giblets, rinse the turkey, and pat dry with paper towels. Place the turkey, breast side up, on a rack in the roasting pan. Loosely fill the body cavity with stuffing. Rub the skin with the softened butter, and season with salt and pepper. Position an aluminum foil tent over the turkey.
- Place turkey in the oven, and pour 2 cups turkey stock into the bottom of the roasting pan. Baste all over every 30 minutes with the juices on the bottom of the pan. Whenever the drippings evaporate, add stock to moisten them, about 1 to 2 cups at a time. Remove aluminum foil after 2 1/2 hours. Roast until a meat thermometer inserted in the meaty part of the thigh reads 165 degrees F (75 degrees C), about 4 hours.
- Transfer the turkey to a large serving platter, and let it stand for at least 20 to 30 minutes before carving.

- Bring out the Turkey. Remove the turkey from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. The turkey will cook more evenly by warming up a bit.
- Set up the Pan. The best homemade gravy comes from tasty pan drippings. For this to happen, you’ll want to add veggies like roughly chopped onion, celery and carrots to the bottom of the pan along with the turkey neck and gizzards.
- Season the Turkey. Pat the turkey dry with paper towels and then rub with a little more salt and your favorite seasonings. (We love the mix listed in this Roasted Sage Turkey recipe.)
- Secure the Skin. Our food stylists’ best-kept secret: Use toothpicks to secure the skin to the inside of the bird near the legs. This step helps make the bird look extra-glamorous when it has finished cooking.
- Oil It Up. For the last touches, rub the skin with oil. (Yep, we prefer to use oil instead of butter!) Canola, vegetable or olive oil all work well.
- Get Roasting. At last! Grab your oven mitts, because it’s time to cook a turkey. Check out our roasting chart below for approximate cooking times.
- Check the Temperature and Remove. When you feel confident that the bird is close to finished, check its temperature using an instant-read thermometer (we use this thermometer and timer combo from ThermoWorks).
- Let It Rest. After you take the turkey out of the oven, let it stand for 20 to 30 minutes before carving. Test Kitchen tip: We’ve found that you don’t need to cover it with foil during standing as many recipes tell you to do.
- Make Turkey Gravy. While the turkey is resting, turn those turkey drippings into a flavorful homemade gravy. To do so, pour the drippings into a 2-cup measuring glass and skim off the fat.
- Carve the Turkey. One of the most important parts of cooking a turkey is knowing how to carve a turkey the right way. Not only does proper carving make your turkey pieces look the best they can, it helps prevent the turkey from getting tough and chewy.

- Classic roast turkey breast. Roasting turkey breast is a simple technique for even the beginner cook. Try adding different herbs, glazes, or sauces for added flavor and to help retain moisture.
- Instant Pot turkey breast. Using a Instant Pot saves valuable oven space on the big day, leaving it open for all of the other things that need time in the oven, such as pies, stuffing, roasted vegetables, and casseroles.
- Slow cooker turkey breast. Slow cooker turkey breast is a great way to free up oven space, and allows you to turn it on and walk away for fuss-free cooking.
- Air fryer turkey breast. Use your air fryer to cook a split turkey breast with crispy skin. Rub it with oil or butter, and season with salt, pepper, and herbs ensure the best flavor.
- Grilled turkey breast. It may be sweater weather, but you can still fire up the grill! Cooking turkey on the grill is a great way to free up oven space (and it gives you a great excuse to escape awkward family dynamics).
- Brined turkey breast. Brines and marinades are a great way to infuse flavor to grilled turkey breast, but don't assume that more time marinating means more flavor; letting your turkey breast sit too long in marinade will result in a mushy texture.
- Fried turkey breast. Breaded and fried turkey breasts gives them a lot of kid appeal, as Thanksgiving dinner suddenly takes on some of the same characteristics as a plate of chicken tenders.
- Baked turkey breasts. If you're really looking to wow your guests, try stuffing turkey breasts with a variety of fruits, vegetables, and even cheese.
