Let’s talk turkey, y’all! I’m breaking down all the tips & tricks to getting a PERFECTLY COOKED TURKEY BREAST EVERY TIME It's time to start planning that Thanksgiving menu!
Leave enough time to defrost your turkey! The USDA recommends allowing one day of defrosting in the refrigerator per 4-5 pounds of turkey.
Snap a picture of your turkey label before you trash it so you can know the exact pounds! You'll need this for calculating defrosting time and cook time.
Pat the turkey dry! Patting the turkey dry with paper towels is key in getting a perfectly golden crispy skin.
Using a leave-in meat thermometer is the BEST way to ensure a juicy properly cooked turkey. Set it to just under 165°F. The turkey will continue to cook when it is removed from the oven.
