OUR OWN FAMILY COOKING SUGGESTIONS
It's best to cook your turkey the method that works best for you! These are just a few suggestions.
DO NOT OVERCOOK - Fresh-killed turkeys are young, tender and juicy.
Fresh turkeys cook more quickly than a previously frozen one.
They are high in protein, low in calories and cholesterol.
PREHEAT OVEN TO 450 DEGREES
450 degrees 1st hour
350 degrees remainder of time
Approximately 10 minutes per pound
Stuffed turkeys take longer (one-half (1/2) hour longer or more)
Use a covered pan or make a tent with tinfoil
Remove lid the last one-half (1/2) hour if not sufficiently browned
Add approximately one (1) pint of water in bottom of pan, one (1) quart of water for larger birds
Salt and pepper turkey, add a few pats of butter on skin and sprinkle with a little flour for a tasty skin
THANK YOU & ENJOY YOUR TURKEY!
