Cómo preparar Awesome High Heat Holiday Turkey
- Pat a 16-18 lb turkey completely dry inside and out using paper towels.
- Using your hands, oil the turkey inside and out with 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.
- Carefully cut away any excess skin around the cavity opening and insert a fork to hold the cavity open.
- Generously rub 2 tablespoons of your favorite herbs and spices (or just black pepper) all over the turkey using your oiled fingers. (Avoid salt!)
- Place the turkey breast-side down on a rack in a large metal roasting pan. Ensure the turkey is not touching the bottom of the pan.
- Loosely cover the top of the turkey (including legs and wings) with aluminum foil that has been lightly greased with vegetable oil.
- Pour ½ inch (approximately 1 cup) of chicken or turkey broth into the bottom of the roasting pan.
- Roast the turkey at 500-525°F (260-270°C) for 2 hours.
- Every 45 minutes, check the liquid level in the pan and add more broth (approximately ¼ cup at a time) if needed to maintain the ½ inch depth.
- After 2 hours, carefully remove the foil.
- Spoon your favorite stuffing (cooked separately) into the turkey cavity.
- Return the turkey to the rack, breast-side up.
- Continue to cook for another 30-45 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 175°F (80°C).
- Remove the turkey from the oven and let it rest for at least 20 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in extra-tender meat.
