Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 F. If the stuffing was refrigerated, bring it to room temperature before putting it into the bird.
Ingredients:
- stuffing
Equipment:
- oven
Step 2: Remove any innards from the turkey.
Ingredients:
- whole turkey
Step 3: Remove any excess fat from the neck or chest cavity and rinse the cavities thoroughly with cool water and pat dry. Season liberally with salt and black pepper.
Ingredients:
- salt and pepper
- water
Step 4: Combine the butter, orange juice, maple syrup, thyme, salt, and black pepper in a microwave-safe bowl.
Ingredients:
- black pepper
- orange juice
- maple syrup
- butter
- thyme
- salt
Equipment:
- microwave
- bowl
Step 5: Heat to melt, about 60 seconds.
Step 6: Stuff the turkey lightly with your desired stuffing; do not pack it in. This size bird will accommodate about 7 cups total. If there is skin to pull together to cover the stuffing, secure it with skewers. If this skin has been trimmed off, cover the exposed stuffing with foil.
Ingredients:
- stuffing
- whole turkey
Equipment:
- skewers
- aluminum foil
Step 7: Add bay leaves, chopped vegetables, garlic, and 1 cup of stock (or water) to the roasting pan.
Ingredients:
- bay leaves
- vegetable
- garlic
- stock
- water
Equipment:
- roasting pan
Step 8: Place a roasting rack in the pan (one that is high enough to hold the turkey above the liquids).
Ingredients:
- whole turkey
Equipment:
- frying pan
Step 9: Brush the turkey liberally with the melted thyme butter and place on the rack, breast side down.
Ingredients:
- butter
- whole turkey
- thyme
Step 10: Place the pan on the middle rack of the preheated oven to roast. Baste the turkey every 30 minutes with the thyme butter.
Ingredients:
- butter
- whole turkey
- thyme
Equipment:
- oven
- frying pan
Step 11: After 1 hour, flip the turkey onto its back for the remaining cooking time. If any areas start to darken too quickly, cover lightly with foil. Continue to baste every 30 minutes. If the pan dries out, add additional stock or water. Never let the pan become dry.
Ingredients:
- whole turkey
- stock
- water
Equipment:
- aluminum foil
- frying pan
Step 12: This size turkey will take about 4 hours to roast (about 20 minutes per pound). The turkey is done when a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh reads 160 F; the juices should run clear when you pierce the thigh.
Ingredients:
- whole turkey
Equipment:
- kitchen thermometer
Step 13: Remove the turkey from the pan and place it on a carving board. Tent the turkey loosely with foil and let rest for at least 30 minutes before carving. This gives you plenty of time to make the pan gravy.
Ingredients:
- whole turkey
- gravy
Equipment:
- aluminum foil
- frying pan
