Open Pan Roasting Technique
This cooking method is simple and results in a tender and juicy turkey every time. Use a shallow pan about 2 to 2 1/2 inches deep, and always use a flat rack so the turkey cooks evenly. Spray the turkey with a cooking spray before putting it in the oven. Cook in conventional oven at 325 degrees and start checking for doneness 1/2-hour before recommended end times for a tender and juicy turkey. To prevent overcooking, place a piece of lightweight aluminum foil loosely over the breast and top of the drumsticks when the turkey is 2/3 done.Thaw
Thawing in the refrigerator is the recommended method. For every four pounds of turkey, allow at least one day of thawing in the refrigerator. The refrigerator temperature should be below 40F.
