Time 3h40m

Yield 25

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 whole turkey (20 lb), thawed if frozen*
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Move oven rack to lowest position; heat oven to 450°F. Fold wings across back of turkey so tips are touching. Rub both cavities lightly with salt and pepper. Tuck legs under band of skin at tail, or tie together with heavy string, then tie to tail.
  • On rack in shallow roasting pan, place turkey breast side up. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of inside thigh and does not touch bone. (Do not add water or cover turkey.) If possible, place turkey in oven with legs to the back of the oven so they are in the hottest part of oven.
  • Roast uncovered 2 hours 45 minutes to 3 hours 15 minutes, watching carefully. After roasting about 1 hour 30 minutes, wearing oven mitts that cover hands and wrists, place tent of foil loosely over turkey when it begins to turn golden.
  • Turkey is done when thermometer reads 165°F and drumsticks move easily when lifted or twisted. If meat thermometer is not used, begin testing for doneness after about 2 hours 15 minutes. When turkey is done, place on warm platter and cover with foil to keep warm. Let stand about 15 minutes for easiest carving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right turkey: For the best results, choose a fresh or thawed turkey that is between 12 and 15 pounds. A larger turkey will take longer to cook and may not cook evenly.
  • Brine the turkey: Brining the turkey helps to keep it moist and flavorful. To brine the turkey, dissolve 1 cup of salt and 1/2 cup of sugar in 1 gallon of water. Submerge the turkey in the brine for 12-24 hours.
  • Roast the turkey at a high temperature: Roasting the turkey at a high temperature helps to create a crispy skin and juicy meat. Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C) before roasting the turkey.
  • Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the turkey is cooked properly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The turkey is done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Let the turkey rest before carving: After roasting the turkey, let it rest for 15-20 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the turkey, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Roasting a turkey at a high heat is a great way to achieve a crispy skin and juicy meat. By following the tips in this article, you can ensure that your turkey is cooked perfectly. So next time you're looking for a delicious and impressive holiday meal, give this high-heat roast turkey recipe a try.
