JUICY ROAST TURKEY
I made this recipe for a work party, it was beautiful and delicious! I plan to do it again for Thanksgiving, along with the maple glazed ham. Excellent recipe, and clear instructuions.
Juicy Roast Turkey fresh out of the oven with turkey gravy and cranberry.
Dry brining is the best path to juicy roast turkey! Easier and more practical than wet brining (no bucket!), better turkey flavour, and you can even brine a partially thawed turkey. The results are exceptional - crispy skin and moist flesh. This recipe needs to be started two days before cooking. Use the RECIPE SCALER to change ingredients to the weight of your turkey.
