How to roast tender and juicy turkey

Roast Turkey 烤火雞(吐绶鸡)


Happy Thanksgiving!


Heat the oven temperature to 220℃(428°F).  

Put the turkey in the oven and roast until the skin becomes light brown.

Reduce the oven temperature to 160℃(320°F).  Roast until inside is done.  

Recommend to cook the turkey dressing separately.  If you put the stuffing inside, it will take longer time to cook and the turkey meet will become dry and hard.  Instead of the bread stuffing, put some cloves of garlics, chopped onion, some slices of fruits(apple, lemon, orange), thyme, bay leaves, and parsley which give nice aroma and keep the turkey's moist.

Do not slice the turkey immediately after taking out from the oven. Let it cool down a little.  All the juice will go out from the meet when it's very hot.
