Thanksgiving Turkey Secrets Revealed: 10 Steps to Make a Juicy Holiday Turkey

Have you all the time wanted to make a juicy turkey but it all the time comes out dry? A juicy bird is not impossible. Some small tips will help your holiday table overflow with joy and a delightful turkey as a centerpiece.

In the case of a long cooking bird, salt is your friend. But most citizen don't comprehend the addition of olive oil is the secret. Regardless of the spices you use to flavor a turkey, whether primary like plain salt or adventurous like adding a itsybitsy kick with salt mixed with cayenne for a Cajun flair, if you oil in three main places first your turkey will be delicious.

Holiday

Where are the three places? Simple. Inside, outside, and under the skin. Most citizen think the skin has adequate fat and barrier to keep the turkey juicy. But the truth is that salt and oil are the magic. Juices are pulled toward salt and the oil acts as a sealant. By treating the turkey inside and under the skin, you've sealed the juices in the meat. By oiling and spicing the skin, it acts like a marinade while the bird is cooking.

The broth that forms is spectacular for gravy, but our family favorite is to use it for an astounding soup base. Refrigerate the broth (or freeze) and skim the layer of fat off before using.

Step 1: Rinse and pat bird dry
Step 2: Pour half a cup of olive oil in a bowl
Step 3: Fill someone else bowl with salt and spices
Step 4: Loosen the skin of the turkey (take off jewelry) except on the legs. Reach under the skin and moderately break it free across the breast. Try not to tear the skin.
Step 5: Fill your hands with olive oil and rub entire bird inside and out and under the skin.
Step: 6: Fill your hands with the spices (heavily mixed with salt) and rub all over bird, inside and out, be sure to spice/salt under the skin as far as you can reach.
Step 7: Stuff Turkey lightly or skip this step.
Step 8: Prep turkey bag by adding 2 tablespoons of flour and shaking before placing in large baking dish. (I use the largest lasagna dish and can commonly do a 20-22 pound bird.
Step 9: Place inside turkey bag and seal.
Step 10: Bake following directions for size of bird on the turkey bag box.
 
That's it! 10 steps that take a very short time. Now you have a simple, elegant turkey ready for the most beautiful table. But even more, you'll have left overs that won't taste like dry cardboard.
