Washing the turkey and cleaning out the inside is how I was taught growing up

I have been roasting turkeys for Thanksgiving for 60 years. My grandmother saved the giblets and neck and boiled them with onions, celery and carrots until the neck meat fell off the bone. The neck meat was added to the dressing/stuffing. The liver, gizzard and heart were left for anyone who wanted them.
I have always salted the turkey cavity and put butter under the skin. The turkey was placed on top of celery, carrots and onion in the roasting pan my grandfather gave my parents when I was three years old. I still make it this way although I have to have one of my sons lift it and put it in the oven. Comes out perfect every time. This new method cooking in a bag is very convenient and I don’t think it is a bad thing. The younger generation can continue to do it that way and me. I’ll keep doing it my way. Happy Thanksgiving. 13:21 13:24

I discovered cooking bags about 10 years ago and have never looked back. No more dried out turkey meat. I appreciate the fact you cooked a family size turkey. A 20 pound turkey along with a large ham is the norm for our very large family. My recipe is very similar to yours except I use olive oil. I think I will use butter this year. I always pull that pop up thing out and discard it as early in my cooking years I had one fail and I way overcooked the bird. I use time and an instant read thermometer and have had great success. Thanks for this video!

Been making turkeys this way for years♥️🥰👍🏻. I use a spatula to separate the skin from the meat and will put more of my herbed butter mixture between the meat and skin, adds extra moisture and then smears what’s left on the outside for color. Has never failed me yet❤

You people with your negative complaining 🤦🏻‍♀️ she's just showing us what she does be thankful 🤷🏻‍♀️

Cooking the turkey in the Cooking bag makes the best broth for the gravy❤

[neenafellows]

Don't forget to put flour in bag and coat per box instructions. You can lay giblets and neck inside bag as the bag will have lots of juice to make great gravey. If you set turkey in pan with sides to cook, you can catch all the broth in the pan.

I usually add a little flour first before adding the turkey. Add flour, shake the bag, and then insert the turkey. It helps by preventing the turkey from sticking to the bag. Thank you for your video. I always learn something new.

I have always used a bag to cook my turkey (30 years) and it is always moist and tender and I always have lots of broth for gravy or noodles.

Was blessed this season with an extra turkey 🦃 will donate. 🍁

This looks so beautiful and yummy 😋 I have two questions though. I am 75 and have always washed the turkey and then pulled out that horrible plastic piece with pliers. These are the two reasons why I don't like cooking turkeys. If the plastic doesn't melt, I am for leaving it in. Oh, I am definitely trying a cooking bag this year. Thank You

[lukefortin]

Thank you for this recipe. I have cooked chicken like that and it is so good.

[foodisforeating]

I can use scissors OR a knife, to cut holes in the bag??? 🤔 That's AMAZING!! Great tip!

[weaver]

I have always used a turkey bag. However, you have given me new ideas. I will be implementing these ideas this Thanksgiving. Thanks So Much!

[Abbycadabby]

Thank you for this!! And thank you for going into so much detail including where to place the oven racks!
I am not in charge of the Thanksgiving turkey (yet, lol) but turkeys are always marked down around Thanksgiving time at my local grocery store. We are on a tight budget with 3 little ones and my husband finishing up nursing school. So cooking a big turkey to eat and then break down for the freezer to use in casseroles, soups, etc will help a ton with grocery costs!

I can't believe how many of you are making nasty comments. Even though I have always washed my turkeys, they are now advising us not to wash them before cooking. You have greater chance of spreading salmonella
while washing it. The heat destroyes the bacterial. Please realize that she is not going to invite you to eat and she is entitled do what she prefers.

[lindagonzales]

did you rinse turkey or not. and whats with the rings im sure their beautiful but i would remove them video or not. thank you for sharing

Hi. Thanks for this great recipe. I can’t find the link for the roasting pans

[allenvasicek]

Turkey giblets cook and chop and add to dressing is great.
