TIPS TO PREVENT YOUR TURKEY FROM BEING DRY

For cooking, preheat your oven to 325°F and roast a 12- to 14-pound bird for approximately 3½ to 4 hours. Slowly roasting the bird at a lower temperature is the optimal method for achieving tender meat. It is still essential to prepare the bird with a mixture of butter, salt, and pepper.

SOME TIPS TO HELP!

1) Cook Pieces Instead of a Whole Turkey.

2) If Cooking a Whole Turkey, Buy Frozen.

3) Ditch the Plastic Pop-Up Timer; Use an Instant-Read Thermometer Instead.

4)Elevate the Legs.

5)Let the Turkey Rest.

TO REALLY KEEP IT NICE AND MOIST!

Take 2/3 of the butter mixture and carefully tuck it beneath the turkey's skin, spreading it evenly by gently massaging it over the skin's surface. This butter infusion not only maintains the tenderness and juiciness of the turkey breast but also imparts a delightful, rich flavor. Rub the remaining butter over the exterior of the turkey, covering the breast, legs, and wings.
It's advisable to cover your bird for the majority of the cooking time to prevent it from drying out.
