Quick and Easy Way to Tie a Turkey | Why Trussing a Turkey is Important

Trussing a turkey, also known as tying a turkey, is an easy and extremely effective technique. When we tie a turkey, it helps heel the meat together, allowing for even cooking and helping you have a moist turkey, instead of dry meat and overcooked legs and wings.
We use butcher twine to keep the legs and breast together, a very important step in a perfect roast turkey for thanksgiving. The same technique is used for roasting chicken, prime ribs, roasted beef tenderloin, and other whole muscle roasts.
