Subject: RE: BS: Ok Turkey, baked or deep fried
I refer to my turkey roasting technique as Blasted.
Brine as desired.
Bring stuffing up to 325 degrees.
Gradually, over 10 minutes, fill and drain the turkey cavity with 5 gallons of boiling water. Salt and pepper cavity ... add steaming hot stuffing.
Place turkey (seasoned on the outside) in a 450 F degree oven.
Ater 30 minutes - reduce heat to 300 degrees - and rotate bird in oven.
Cooking time is now 15 minutes per pound (foil wrap wing tips.)
The big - bird (nothing less than 24 pounds) cooks from both the inside and the outside....many say the flavor exceeds the "oil boiled " method....(at a lot less cost.)
Sincerely
