Know about the Ingredients for Roster Oven Turkey

Whole Turkey: Buy a whole turkey that weighs up to 20 lbs. In any grocery store or supermarket that is available in frozen state. I recommend you all to keep enough time in hand for thawing the whole turkey in the refrigerator.

If you have bought a turkey of 20 lbs, it would take 7 days for perfect thawing. Keep in the refrigerator the whole time to perfectly defrost. Though there are other methods like thawing in the microwave, but refrigerator thawing is the best process.

Olive Oil: Olive oil is one of the vital ingredients to prepare crispy browning turkey. Rub the turkey ¼ cup of olive oil. If you desire to have a buttery smell, you can use melted butter instead.  The amount would be same, ¼ cup.

Seasoning Salt & Poultry Seasoning: For spicing up the turkey, seasoning salt & poultry seasoning is must. They give turkey the best possible flavor.  Seasoning salt is the mixture of flavorful spices, salt, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried parsley, and black pepper powder. You will need 2 ½ tsp of seasoning salt.

Poultry seasoning is one-go interesting seasoning with dried basil, dried thyme, dried oregano, dried marjoram, paprika, dried rosemary, onion powder and garlic powder mixture. These two seasonings are available in the market. Measure 3 tsp of poultry seasoning.

Black Pepper:  ¾ tsp of freshly ground black pepper will do the flavouring job perfectly.

How to Make Turkey in Oven Roaster Step by Step:

Step 1: Bring out the roaster oven and take the roasting pan out of it with the metal rack.

Step 2: Set the oven for preheating at the temperature of 450 degrees F.

Step 3: Spray the baking pan with a non-stick cooking spray. If you don’t have any non-stick cooking spray, you can line the roaster pan with aluminum foil as well.

Step 4: Uncover the thawed turkey and pat it dry finely with a kitchen towel.

Step 5: In a mixing bowl, add 2 2/1 tsp of seasoning salt, 3 tsp of poultry seasoning, and ¾ tsp of black pepper. Mix the seasonings all together.

Step 6: Pour ¼ cup of olive oil and rub finely around the skin and cavity. It seems very hilarious to me to put the wedding ring in the cavity during some weddings. Let’s get back to the cooking!

Step 7: The preparation process is done, let’s place the turkey carefully in the preheated nesco roaster oven.

Step 8: Take out a penny thermometer and insert it in the middle of the turkey breast to see the Temperature.

Step 9: It usually takes 4 hours to cook completely. After 2 hours reduce the temperature to 400 degrees F.  Check out the internal temperature time to time.

When done, remove the pan carefully and let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
