2 Hour Turkey image

Trust me. It really works! This method, developed by a local chef, results in a juicy delicious bird in 2 hours (well, 2-3 depending on the size of the bird) I'm posting this because my mom and sisters have done this for years but this is my first time hosting Thanksgiving (yikes) and I don't want to loose the recipe before I use it.

Time 2h20m

Yield 1 turkey

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (12 lb) turkey
salt and pepper, to taste
1/4-3/4 cup vegetable oil, to coat
paprika

Steps:

  • Cut off skin at the neck.
  • Cut off wing and second joint.
  • Remove giblets.
  • (It's probably a good idea to cook the wings and giblets to make stock since most of the juice will stay in your turkey rather than making a lot of pan drippings).
  • Clean turkey and pat dry.
  • Salt and pepper inside and out.
  • Coat all over with oil, rubbing in a little to make sure you have a good coating.
  • Sprinkle generously with paprika.
  • Place turkey on its side in a large roaster.
  • Roast in a 400 degree oven for 2-3 hours.
  • 3/4 of the way through the cooking time, turn turkey to the other side.
  • It is very important that you DO NOT PIERCE THE SKIN.
  • Just a hint: To ensure you don't pierce the skin and let out all the juice you might want to use a couple old (clean) oven mitts and just pick up the bird to flip it.

This recipe was a disaster. The turkey was dry and tough, and the gravy was lumpy. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I've made this recipe twice now and it's been a hit both times. The turkey is always moist and juicy, and the gravy is to die for. I highly recommend this recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly and the turkey turned out dry and overcooked. The gravy was also bland. I won't be making this recipe again.
