Directions
Slow-Roasted Turkey, The turkey comes out moist and golden – with no effort on your part Slow-roasting keeps the juices in It is nearly impossible to over-bake, because the temperature is so low The secret is NOT basting or salting Basting or salting draws out moisture and dries out the turkey IMPORTANT: Plan ahead: Thaw turkey in refrigerator for 1 day per 4-5 lbs, (For faster thawing, you could thaw in cold water Change the water frequently ) Allow 1 hour per lb + 1 hour to cook – i e total: 21 hours for 20-lb turkey , The USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline is very clear about safety issues when roasting a turkey First, you do not wash the turkey as cross contamination can occur when raw juices spill onto other foods or splash on surfaces Secondly the oven temperature should be set NO LOWER THAN 325F degrees At lower temperatures, it takes the turkey too long to get through the ‘danger zone’, a period in which at low temperatures bacteria can grow RAPIDLY and produce heat resistant toxins which will NOT be killed during the cooking or reheating process , Can someone tell me what salad oil is? Olive oil? If I don’t have salad oil, what is the next best thing? Thanks!
