No-Baste, No-Bother Roasted Turkey image

I saw Trisha Yearwood prepare a turkey on her show on the Food Network with this recipe/method and it appeared to be incredibly easy and looked delicious. In the past, I've used the roasting bags for my turkey and while they come are moist, they don't have that beautiful deep golden brown roasted appearance. I'm eager to try this recipe in the hope that I can achieve both. I'm posting the recipe so I don't misplace it. Perhaps, I'll try a large roasting chicken first. I'll keep you posted.

Time 7h10m

Yield 10-12 , 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup salted butter, softened
1 (12 -15 lb) whole turkey, completely thawed and all giblets removed
2 tablespoons salt
2 teaspoons pepper
2 stalks celery, cut in lengths to fit turkey cavity
1 medium sweet onion, such as Vidalia, cut in half
1 large carrot, cut in lengths to fit the turkey cavity
2 cups boiling water

Steps:

  • Adjust the oven racks so the covered roasting pan fit easily inside. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
  • Rub the butter on the outside and in the cavity of the turkey. Sprinkle the salt and pepper on the inside and the outside of the turkey. Put the celery, onion and carrot in the cavity. Place the turkey, breast-side up on a rack, in a large roasting pan. Pour the boiling water into the pan. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and put the pan in the oven.
  • Start a timer when the oven temperature returns to 500 degrees F. Bake for exactly 1 hour and turn off the oven. Do not open the oven door! Leave the turkey in the oven until the oven completely cools; this may take 4 to 6 hours. Reserve the pan juices and refrigerate the turkey if it will not be served soon after roasting.

This recipe was a little too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt next time.

I've made this recipe several times and it always turns out great. I love that it's so easy to make and the turkey always comes out moist and flavorful.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my turkey turned out dry and overcooked. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

This recipe is not worth your time. The turkey was bland and the instructions were confusing. I would not make this again.

I would not recommend this recipe. The turkey was tough and the skin was rubbery. I was very disappointed.

This recipe was a disaster. The turkey was dry and tasteless. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't turn out right.

I've tried other turkey recipes before, but this one is by far the best. The turkey was so moist and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again next year.

This recipe was easy to follow and the turkey turned out great. The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt and pepper to the rub.
