Roast a perfectly moist turkey in your NESCO Roaster Oven this Thanksgiving with just a few simple steps!
Your Key Ingredient:
Ingredients:
- 1 whole turkey, thawed (up to 20 lbs.)
- 1/4 cup olive oil or butter
- 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Directions:
- Preheat: Remove the insert pan from the roaster and preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Prepare Turkey: Do not wash the turkey. Season the cavity with salt. Rub the entire bird with olive oil or butter, then sprinkle with seasoning salt, poultry seasoning, and pepper. Stuff if desired.
- Roasting: Place the turkey on the rack inside the insert pan and put the pan back into the roaster. Cover and roast at 450°F for 1 hour to brown the skin.
- Lower Temperature: After 1 hour, reduce the temperature to 350°F and continue roasting. Do not lift the lid during cooking.
- Check Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to monitor the internal temperature. The turkey is done when it reaches 165°F.
This method ensures a moist, perfectly roasted turkey with minimal effort!
