How to Properly Roast a Turkey

Martha Stewart is was an obvious choice of mine to get a reference on roasting that all important Thanksgiving bird. With Turkey Day being right around the corner, I can only imagine how many first-time bird bakers are out there.

How to Properly Roast a Turkey

One of the biggest arguements is “to stuff, or not to stuff” the bird.

Personally, I like dressing, not stuffing. Now, my Mom always “stuffed” the bird, but threw it away after the bird was roasted because none of us would eat it.

Martha does share a bit about stuffing your bird in this article with the classic breaded stuffing mix. However, if it just isn’t for you, remember that you will need to put SOMETHING inside the Turkey. The main reason is for flavor, another, for moisture. You can really get creative here and this can obviously be used for the everyday roast chicken as well. I’ve used lemons, onion, carrots, etc...just make sure whatever you’re using as your stuffing is sturdy enough to hold up to the cooking time for your bird.

Happy Roasting!
