How-to make a Whole Roasted Turkey

[CardTrickster01]

how much does this turkey weigh - no mention - that is what I was looking for - not very informative!

@CardTrickster01 This video is not about weight. It is about preparation. What is your question?

There are actual turkey lifting forks - you need two and they have very wide tines or teeth. They insert into the lower side of the turkey and makes it easy to lift. If you don't want to buy a special tool, heavy twine works as well. Loop two pieces beneath the bird and make a sling to lift it up. To keep the bird from sticking to the rack, I insert slices off lemon between the meat and the metal so the turkey is resting on the lemon slice.

how do you get the turkey off the roasting rack? Mine either sticks to the rack or tears up when I'm trying to get it off the rack then its in pieces.It's too hot to handle to pick it up with my hands so try putting a big spoon in either end and it falls apart! HELP!!

@kalamazootx1

try preheating the pan and the rack in the oven when you preheat the oven, then take out when you are ready to bake the bird and place it on the hot rack. hot pans keep things from sticking.... i would think that a hot rack would do the same. good luck. or try oiling the rack first. OR take the hole rack and carve it on the rack at table...

If you think butter is healthier than extra virgin olive oil sir/mam you are an idiot

[Shadowfury]

This is a really shitty tutorial. Why are they using Virgin oil ? why not put Butter to add flavor instead of using oil which is actually not as health and doesn't really add flavor to the turkey at all. This is bad...

[chinikumhai]

u can use pepper and salt, but u need 2 be careful how much 2 add, and some even put oil on the turkey, but butter is better in my opinion,

[koreanwutard]

WORD OF ADVICE!!! brine your turkey!!!!

...sometimes you'll be surprised at how delicious only salt and pepper can be, without all that other seasoning, and slow cooking, we ll it dpends on what ya cooking, this is my first time cooking a bird though.

[fatdanios]

I would use butter on the turkey skin and not all that salt and pepper! Way too much pepper! If I didn't stuff the turkey with a stuffing, then I would use onions and herbs to flavor the insides. This procedure she shows here is just the bare minimum.

[reptilelife101]

actually seens the basting takes some pepper and salt off

[fatdanios]

You would be surprised how well seasonings stick to the skin. It's going to stick to the skin. I would hate to get a mouthful of pepper!

[ajasn17]

I have never cooked a turkey. This has

been very helpful and I am also laughing

because you people get so upset over

your turkey cooking.

[fatdanios]

You should try cooking one sometime. Find out what all the fuss is about.

[lexlaw007]

I use the same kind of pan she does but I cover the turkey with foil for the first hour or so of baking. I also stuff it with scallions and carrots and fresh parsley and put onions, carrots and celery at the bottom of the pan. I also put a butter/spice mixture under the skin, and use the pan drippings to help make the gravy.

[thefacepainter]

I can't believe she only uses salt and pepper and then pops it in the oven? who cooks like that?If I cook meat it has to marinate at least over night.

[whateverdude716]

I'm not comeing over her house with that bullshit!!! can i get some Onion's or somethig Shit...

[bluejuiseritsma]
