Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Shake flour in Reynolds Oven Bag
Place in roasting pan at least 2 inches deep.
Add vegetables to oven bag.  Remove neck and giblets from turkey.  Rinse and pat dry.
Lightly stuff with your stuffing.  Brush turkey with oil.  Place turkey in oven bag on top of
vegetables.  Close oven bag with nylon tie; cut six 1/2 inch slits in top.  Insert meat thermometer
through shlit in bag into tickest part of inner thigh, not touching bone.  Tuck ends of bag in pan.
Bake 2 to 2 1/2  hours for a 12 to 16 lb. turkey, 2 1/2 to 3 hours for a 16-20 pound turkey, 3 to
3 1/2 hours for a 20-24 pound turkey, or until meat thermometer reads 180 degrees.  Add
1/2 hour for stuffed turkey.  Let stand in oven bag 15 minutes.  If turkey sticks to bag, gently
loosen bag from turkey before opening bag.
TIP:  Sprinkle turkey with paprika for more even browning
