Perfect Roast Turkey image

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h5m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (12 pound) fresh turkey
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 large bunch fresh thyme
1 lemon, halved
1 Spanish onion, quartered
1 head garlic, halved crosswise
4 tablespoons unsalted (1/2 stick) melted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Take the giblets out of the turkey and wash the turkey inside and out. Remove any excess fat and leftover pinfeathers and pat the outside dry. Place the turkey in a large roasting pan. Liberally salt and pepper the inside of the turkey cavity. Stuff the cavity with the thyme, lemon, onion, quartered, and the garlic. Brush the outside of the turkey with the butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Tie the legs together with string and tuck the wing tips under the body of the turkey.
  • Roast the turkey for 2 1/2 hours, basting from time to time with pan juices, until the juices run clear when you cut between the leg and the thigh. Remove the turkey to a cutting board and cover with foil; let it rest for 20 minutes. Slice the turkey and serve hot.

PERFECT TURKEY



Perfect Turkey image

A perfectly seasoned and juicy turkey. My friend from France taught me to cook turkey like this, but she never measures anything so use your own judgment for vegetable amounts, etc. I usually err on the side of 'more is better'!

Time 17h

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (18 pound) whole turkey, neck and giblets removed
2 cups kosher salt
½ cup butter, melted
2 large onions, peeled and chopped
4 carrots, peeled and chopped
4 stalks celery, chopped
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
1 cup dry white wine

Steps:

  • Rub the turkey inside and out with the kosher salt. Place the bird in a large stock pot, and cover with cold water. Place in the refrigerator, and allow the turkey to soak in the salt and water mixture 12 hours, or overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Thoroughly rinse the turkey, and discard the brine mixture.
  • Brush the turkey with 1/2 the melted butter. Place breast side down on a roasting rack in a shallow roasting pan. Stuff the turkey cavity with 1 onion, 1/2 the carrots, 1/2 the celery, 1 sprig of thyme, and the bay leaf. Scatter the remaining vegetables and thyme around the bottom of the roasting pan, and cover with the white wine.
  • Roast uncovered 3 1/2 to 4 hours in the preheated oven, until the internal temperature of the thigh reaches 180 degrees F (85 degrees C). Carefully turn the turkey breast side up about 2/3 through the roasting time, and brush with the remaining butter. Allow the bird to stand about 30 minutes before carving.

How to Brine a Turkey image

If you've ever wondered how to brine a turkey, then this is the recipe for you. Juicy, tender turkey, that tastes like a roast chicken, all because of a quick brine! You'll never eat a non brined turkey again!

Provided by Janelle

Time 13h30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 gallon water
2 cups kosher salt
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
3 bay leaves
1 Tablespoon whole black peppercorns
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon oregano
3 cloves minced garlic

Steps:

  • Let cool to room temperature or add ice to chill quickly or place in fridge until chilled.
  • Open thawed turkey up and remove, neck and gravy packet and giblets.
  • Rinse off turkey.
  • Once brine is chilled place turkey in brine, breast side down, and place in fridge (ensure turkey is completely covered and cavity filled.)
  • If brine is not enough, then cook up 4 Tablespoons of salt for every 4 cups of water. until turkey is covered. Remember to not add hot water to turkey, but only room temperature or chilled.
  • If your turkey tries to float in the water, put a plate on top of it to weigh it down.
  • Place turkey & brine in fridge for 12 - 24 hours. See notes for alternative brining storage options.
  • After brining, drain turkey, rinse, pat dry and cook. If possible, let turkey rest for 1 - 2 hours before cooking, optional but recommended.
