ROAST TURKEY (QUICK METHOD)

By JaneTreva

Ingredients

• Grade A Turkey
• Favourite stuffing recipe

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450°F.
Remove giblets and neck from body and neck cavity.
Rinse inside and out with cold water; pat dry.

Spoon enough stuffing into neck cavity to make it round; do not pack.
Bring neck skin up over back and tie around with a piece of string or butcher’s twine.
Fill up body cavity with stuffing and again, do not pack.
Fasten with string.

Lay prepared turkey on the shiny side of a well-buttered piece of heavy duty aluminum foil; splicing two widths of foil together if necessary.
Wrap turkey completely in foil, fold ends up securely and seal tightly.
Place in a roasting pan and roast following the guide.

ROASTING GUIDE:

10 to 13 lb turkey roast for 2¾ to 3 hours.
13 to 18 lb turkey roast for 3 to 3¼ hours.
18 to 21 lb turkey roast for 3¼ to 3½ hours.

If necessary, open foil to brown turkey for the last 20 to 30 minutes of roasting. I am generous with the roasting time and my turkey is always golden brown when I open the foil.
