How to Make Flipped Roast Turkey
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Pat the turkey completely dry with paper towels. This is crucial for crispy skin.
- Season the turkey generously inside and out with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs (see ingredient list for suggestions).
- Place the turkey breast-side down in a large roasting pan. Add 1 cup of chicken broth to the bottom of the pan.
- Roast for approximately 2-3 hours, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165°F (74°C).
- Carefully flip the turkey breast-side up. Add more chicken broth to the pan if needed. Baste the turkey with pan juices.
- Continue roasting for another 30-60 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast registers 165°F (74°C) and the internal temperature of the thigh remains at 165°F (74°C).
- Remove the turkey from the oven and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful turkey.
- Carve and serve! Enjoy your incredibly juicy and flavorful Flipped Roast Turkey.
