I have been roasting turkeys for Thanksgiving for 60 years. My grandmother saved the giblets and neck and boiled them with onions, celery and carrots until the neck meat fell off the bone. The neck meat was added to the dressing/stuffing. The liver, gizzard and heart were left for anyone who wanted them. I have always salted the turkey cavity and put butter under the skin. The turkey was placed on top of celery, carrots and onion in the roasting pan my grandfather gave my parents when I was three years old. I still make it this way although I have to have one of my sons lift it and put it in the oven. Comes out perfect every time. This new method cooking in a bag is very convenient and I don’t think it is a bad thing. The younger generation can continue to do it that way and me. I’ll keep doing it my way. Happy Thanksgiving. 13:2113:24
I’m a baby boomer born 8/30/1958 I used cooking bags while my children were growing up. I used them for cooking other meats too. A roast with vegetables and potatoes tasted delicious cooked in a bag. I’m thankful that cooking bags are available in various sizes. I own three different sized crockpots and I have bags for each size. It makes cleaning up a lot easier. I am from a large family and I learned how to cook using the blue with white specks roasting pan, cast iron cookware, pressure cookers and other cooking utensils.😊
I discovered cooking bags about 10 years ago and have never looked back. No more dried out turkey meat. I appreciate the fact you cooked a family size turkey. A 20 pound turkey along with a large ham is the norm for our very large family. My recipe is very similar to yours except I use olive oil. I think I will use butter this year. I always pull that pop up thing out and discard it as early in my cooking years I had one fail and I way overcooked the bird. I use time and an instant read thermometer and have had great success. Thanks for this video!
Don't forget to put flour in bag and coat per box instructions. You can lay giblets and neck inside bag as the bag will have lots of juice to make great gravey. If you set turkey in pan with sides to cook,you can catch all the broth in the pan.
Been making turkeys this way for years♥️🥰👍🏻. I use a spatula to separate the skin from the meat and will put more of my herbed butter mixture between the meat and skin, adds extra moisture and then smears what’s left on the outside for color. Has never failed me yet❤
I usually add a little flour first before adding the turkey. Add flour, shake the bag, and then insert the turkey. It helps by preventing the turkey from sticking to the bag. Thank you for your video. I always learn something new.
This looks so beautiful and yummy 😋 I have two questions though. I am 75 and have always washed the turkey and then pulled out that horrible plastic piece with pliers. These are the two reasons why I don't like cooking turkeys. If the plastic doesn't melt, I am for leaving it in. Oh, I am definitely trying a cooking bag this year. Thank You
I just turned 75😊. I started making Thanksgiving Dinner 50 years ago and have always used the cooking bag. Moist flavorful turkey without have to baste throughout the cooking time and easy cleanup.
I also use bags for roasting a roast and vegetables and potatoes.I use bags for baking chicken pieces or a full chicken. I use my crockpot bags to make cleaning up easier. I’m 66 and I live alone. There are different size bags that fit my cooking needs.
I’m 60 and have been in charge of the turkey for 35 years. This year I am using a bag as my niece used one on her turkey last year and it was the best turkey I’ve ever tasted! 😊
Do you wash your hamburger before cooking? There is absolutely zero reasons to wash a turkey or chicken before cooking! Cooking kills all germs/ whatever else you're afraid of!!
I'm 75 and I've never cooked a turkey! My late husband or mother did that job! I'm using a bag this year. Thank you for posting. I have confidence, I can do this! How hard can it be? 🤩
Thank you for this!! And thank you for going into so much detail including where to place the oven racks! I am not in charge of the Thanksgiving turkey (yet, lol) but turkeys are always marked down around Thanksgiving time at my local grocery store. We are on a tight budget with 3 little ones and my husband finishing up nursing school. So cooking a big turkey to eat and then break down for the freezer to use in casseroles, soups, etc will help a ton with grocery costs!
There is nothing wrong with jar'ed garlic. Don't you worry about that. I have always used an oven bag for about 50 years now when cooking a turkey (or pork roast, or pork ribs, or chicken, or ham, or whatever...) in the oven. Using a bag is virtually foolproof and yields that precious gold byproduct to make incredible gravy and stuffing. Thank you for posting this.
I can't believe how many of you are making nasty comments. Even though I have always washed my turkeys, they are now advising us not to wash them before cooking. You have greater chance of spreading salmonella while washing it. The heat destroyes the bacterial. Please realize that she is not going to invite you to eat and she is entitled do what she prefers.
Yea no. Idc what they say if you are a clean person and know how to wash your sink thoroughly you don’t have to worry about salmonella. Washing isn’t just about bacteria it’s about removing feathers, slime and gunk! No judgment to her but yes washing poultry is a requirement for me
@TheBosslady0417 Did you not notice that I said I always wash mine. I know how to sanitize my sink as well as the counter tops. There is too much gunk in the bird that makes me want to wash and remove it. Google it and see what they tell you. It's your turkey. Do what you wish but she has the same privilege.
@@rosemariegrover561 The flour is so that there's not a chance the bag will explode. I Saw another video that said yes, you could use cornstarch if you're wanting gluten-free. 🤗
How about removing that plastic piece that hold the legs together? Also the turkey giblets are for making giblet gravy. Don’t throw them away. To avoid getting your jewelry all messy, remove it and/or wear gloves and tie your hair up.
I generally don't watch all the all the videos. Mainly due to there being too short . I'll watch the ones that have some length to them. Of the last 8 months, I've seen maybe 3-4 that was not short.
My mother in law would soak the turkey in salt water, to pull out the blood, and keep changing the water over a 2 day period. You will have a better tasting turkey.
Great video... we will be following your recipe for my first turkey and my wife and daughter's first Thanksgiving. We moved from Brazil 🇧🇷 in June. Thanks again... Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍗
I was washing my chicken breast all my cooking life. Than I read a year ago. That it's unsafe because of spreading bacteria everywhere. I have not gotten sick yet.
Just a comment: you sound like your on uppers…slow down and use gentler words instead “shove” and “freak out”…and please remember to wash your turkey first.
(" CAUTION") IF You HAVE A BIRD IN YOUR HOUSE THAT Is YOUR PET " DO NOT Use A (TURKEY BAG") They will die. Like a parrot, cockatoo, cockatiel or any kind. Thank you.
I learned that when I uknowingly bought a Teflon coated roasting pan. One day I went to get something out of the cupboard and that pan fell on my barefoot and it was excruciatingly painful. I was so mad I threw it out. Never used it.
Hi everyone…😮🤦♀️🙁🙁😳😳😳🤷♀️🤷♀️EVERYTHING LOOK OK BUT I DIDN’T LIKE THE PART THAT YOU DIDN’T WASH THAT TURKEY .. WE NEED TO WASH EVERYTHING OH MY GOD 😮😮PLEASE NEXT TIME WASHED IT 🫣🤔…chao

I have always used a bag to cook my turkey (30 years) and it is always moist and tender and I always have lots of broth for gravy or noodles.
Cooking the turkey in the Cooking bag makes the best broth for the gravy❤

Was blessed this season with an extra turkey 🦃 will donate. 🍁
Looks fantastic. I would add different herbs to mine plus add dry white wine in the bag.

did you rinse turkey or not. and whats with the rings im sure their beautiful but i would remove them video or not. thank you for sharing
My thoughts too!!
And HAIR UP!!
Blah Blah Blah
She said she forgot to take her rings off.
Thank you for this recipe. I have cooked chicken like that and it is so good.
LOVE LOVE YOUR KITCHEN
I have always used a turkey bag. However, you have given me new ideas. I will be implementing these ideas this Thanksgiving. Thanks So Much!
I'm so glad!!

Sun stores offer free turkeys if you have a certain amount of points or dollars spent. I got a 17 lb $25.00 turkey for free.
Dry brining is the best way, very juicy and tender each time

Thank u so much for ur help.❤️
Did you put flour in the oven bag??????
She said she forgot and added later.
I know now.
Thank you!
For us, cooking the turkey in a bag is the key to a moist bird. To save oven space, we roast the turkey in a large electric roaster.
do you need to add flour or the bag?
13:00
Yes add flour a tbsp than shake bag and add turkey
I never do.
I wash. My. Turkey. And cook it in a bag. And season. It with butterr. Salt. Pepper.
i grew up cookin turkeys in grocery bags, never knew any other way
Yes, me too.
That’s what my parents did too ..a big brown grocery bag
Forerunner to the turkey bags🤗.
@@kathypileggi7650a brown paper grocery bag? Really?
Did you put the flour in the bag first?
I never put flour in the bag, doesn't stick.
Hi. Thanks for this great recipe. I can’t find the link for the roasting pans
When u cook u should always have ur hair up and stop touching hair Flys all over
Great job enjoy😊
Looks great! When do you put the broth on the stuffing?
I normally do it in the middle of the stuffing cooking time.
@ thank you!
Wow! Definitely cooking my turkey this way. Thank you! What is the tbsp. of flour for? We are gluten free. Can I use cornstarch instead?
@@rosemariegrover561 The flour is so that there's not a chance the bag will explode. I Saw another video that said yes, you could use cornstarch if you're wanting gluten-free. 🤗
Don't forget to wash inside and out before cooking blood was still running down the back of the turkey .
Yummy 😋 😋
Thank you 😊

So! You do not clean out the extra guts /stuff in between the backbones , and wash with Vinegar and lemon? OMG!!!!
Hello, regarding the butter: Salted versus Unsalted? Many thanks
Your hair is lovely but not in the kitchen. Tie back in a ponytail. Also, those giblets make a fantastic gravy. I'm sure there's recipes on google
Should I spray the roasting pan with Pam to prevent the drippings from sticking?
Yum
My mother in law would soak the turkey in salt water, to pull out the blood, and keep changing the water over a 2 day period. You will have a better tasting turkey.
Yes indeed--I'm not sure what this demonstration is?!
Gereesorr... don't wash chicken. They never said turkeys. Put your hair at least in a ponytail!!
Do u put a little flour in baking bag
Did you watch the video?
Great video... we will be following your recipe for my first turkey and my wife and daughter's first Thanksgiving. We moved from Brazil 🇧🇷 in June. Thanks again... Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍗
OKAY comment section, OKAY!! We get it! She didn't "wash the turkey"!! .... GET OVER IT!!! Geezzz!!
😂😂😂
you should remove your jewelry before working with the turkey …..you should also carefully wash and dry the turkey!
Why not use disposable gloves when handling the turkey? Much more sanitary .
And easy as well ❤
Seriously...
I'm sure she washed her hands 😂😅
I always praise the bags I buy from kislux , to be honest, its durability is very good, much higher than the original
Your rings are a good source of bacteria.
Did we not wash the bird!
Yummy that looks delicious ❤ thank you
It is so good!
This is how we cook turkeys in a bag.
Please clean the Turkey first
No longer recommended.
Please wash the turkey before you cook it 😮
You didn't wash your turkey 😮
you don't have to rinse the turkey
@JimMckusker you do they have guts inside of them
Awesome job 👍😮😊❤
Thank you! Cheers!
You did not say anything about washing the turkey. Not sanitary
You should also cover your hair. Net maybe?
You don’t rinse your turkey?
You didn't wash that bird 😮😮😮
you don't have to rinse the turkey
She gonna kill somebody 😂
Need to wash your turkeys
No, you don't. That just splashes turkey juice everywhere and cooking kills any germs.
Why some cooks don't wash meat that's not good
I was washing my chicken breast all my cooking life. Than I read a year ago. That it's unsafe because of spreading bacteria everywhere. I have not gotten sick yet.
I have to use vinegar or lemon to clean my Turkey any meat to tell you the truth.
Use your hands girl, I guarantee you they aren’t any dirtier than that Turkey!
Should've added sage, rosemary & thyme inside the turkey; cut up lemon or green apple.
Can I make this in an air fryer
Do you have an air fryer big enough to put a turkey in?
If you cook the turkey breast side down, the breast meat will be so moist!
Yes we actually just posted a recipe for that! www.eatingonadime.com/upside-down-turkey/
Breast side down, huh?? .... That reminds me of my favorite Andrew Dice Clay album.
I’ve made it in a bag before
Looking for that gravy video!! Don’t forget!
It goes live Tuesday!
I acknowledge turkey in s bag to for years
Come on wash the turkey
You leave the plastic thing that holds legs on??
WARNING! Don't use those bags if you have birds in your house.
You suppose to wash it frist
I see you do not clean your turkey.
She did not wash the meet that nest
She didn’t clean the Turkey first
this person is on something She is out to lunch !
Thanks for the review. And you have beautiful eyes. Carrie. 😊
Oh thank you!

So many commercials. Good other than that
Did I miss something? I didn’t see her rinse that turkey (inside or out!)!!! WTF….
You didn’t wash the turkey yuck. Turn my stomach.
❤
I will never eat that cause it never was washed. I use a bag but I wash it too
The heat killed the bacteria, Geeze!
Oops, right after I posted the question she answered the question.😂 Great video Thanks so much for all the info.
Please wash and clean your turkey!
Yes wash that turkey it's bloody and nasty. Been sitting in that plastic for who knows how long
You really think just rinsing will sanitize it?😂
(" CAUTION") IF You HAVE A BIRD IN YOUR HOUSE THAT Is YOUR PET " DO NOT Use A (TURKEY BAG") They will die. Like a parrot, cockatoo, cockatiel or any kind. Thank you.

U don't need to wash the turkey because cooking the turkey will already clean the turkey.
You definitely need to wash the turkey!
Yes, soak it in salt water!
I don't know where that dopy idea of washing poultry came from. It just splashes turkey juice all over.
Sone people put the butter inside the Turkey you think that helps
You prepaqre it the same way as if you were using a roasting pan, only you put it in a bag! SAME THING
If I use a bag, flour first.

You did not wash the inside of turkey or the outside.

That seam on the counter top behind you is horrible what ever company did that should be ashamed
