Roast Turkey 101

"There are more ways to cook a turkey than I can even guess. I have tried many of them. The one question is to brine or not to brine, I leave that for another post. I have done a bird where I baste it every half hour or done in wine soaked cheese cloth or wrapped in bacon. We have smoked them, roasted low, roasted high. The list is endless in things to try. For this post though I kept it simple and didn’t even stuff the turkey. This post is all about basically just how to buy, thaw, roast and serve a turkey. It will be a good go-to though as we all forget the basics sometimes as this is not something that is cooked everyday."
