The few times I cooked a turkey, a roasting bag always worked for me. It keeps all the juices in.

Melt some butter with your favorite spices (salt, pepper, thyme, sage, etc.), paint the bird all over with one of those cooking brushes, put it in a roasting bag on a roasting pan and put it in the oven.

I know people are going to say deep fry, smoke, brine, etc. But if you have an oven, why not use it?

Does the turkey brown in a roasting bag?

Plastic may be contributing to our epidemics of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s. So I wouldn’t roast inside plastic as it does leach into the food. Brining does the same thing, you just need something big enough to hold your turkey that will still fit into the fridge.

Worlds best brine recipe is Melinda Lee’s.

I think it’s melindalee.com

A regular brown paper bag will do the trick. Tear out the bottom piece, then coat with butter then cover turkey then bake.
