🦃 Tips and Tricks to Instantly Improve your Thanksgiving Turkey Cooking 🦃
- Use a digital thermometer.
-Cook Turkey until the internal tempreture of your turkey is 165 degrees F.
I used a 13 lb turkey, but the herb butter will be enough for a turkey that is within 5 lbs.
- Be sure to thaw your turkey a couple days earlier than you plan to cook it. It's better to have it sitting in your fridge ready to go.
- Take your turkey out of the oven for an hour before baking it. It will cook more evenly if the chill is gone.
- Wrap in foil during cooking and remove the foil the last 15 minutes of cooking to get that crispy golden skin.
- Add a couple cups of chicken or turkey broth to your roasting pan before cooking so you will have rich drippings.

    I usually make one or two whole birds for thanksgiving, but this year it’s only a few of us, none of which are fans of dark meat, so I bought this butterball roast. I had no idea how to prepare it tho since there’s no skin or cavity to introduce aromatics. This is by far the best tutorial on UA-cam (and I’ve watched tons of them). Took a look at your channel and instantly subscribed. Your style and the quality of your content is like being in an actual cooking class. I’m an experienced cook but there’s always more to learn. Looking forward to binging more of your recipes! Happy Thanksgiving 🦃.
