Thanksgiving is fast approaching in the United States, but it doesn't have to be Thanksgiving for your to appreciate this Thanksgiving turkey recipe! Make sure you start about 5 hours before dinnertime to have enough time to cook this Thanksgiving turkey recipe!
To make this Thanksgiving Turkey recipe you will need the following ingredients:
A 12 pound turkey (will feed about 10 people)
A roasting bag
1/2 tsp coarse sea salt
1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper
1/4 cup organic shallots, finely chopped
1/4 cup organic carrots, finely chopped
1/4 cup organic celery, finely chopped
1/4 cup organic beet, finely chopped
3 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 tsp of honey
In general a 12-15 lb turkey will feed 10-12 people, a 15-18 lb turkey will feed 14-16 people and a 18-22 lb turkey will feed 20-22 people. If you want to use a larger Thanksgiving turkey, adjust the ingredients accordingly.
Preheat the oven to 325°.
In a large bowl combine your chopped shallots, carrots, celery, beet and garlic together.
Rub the turkey inside and out with salt and pepper. Tuck the wings under the turkey and place the turkey in a large oven roasting bag. Place your vegetable mixture over and around the turkey and add two teaspoons of honey into the mix. Fold the top of the bag over and place turkey, breast up, into your roasting pan.
This is the secret that will make your Thanksgiving turkey super moist and delicious. Add water to a depth of about 1 inch in the pan.
Roast turkey for 3 to 3 1/2 hours hours. If you want to use a meat thermometer, insert your needle into the thickest part of the leg (but not touching the bone). The temperature should be 165° to 170°.
At this point, you want to carefully remove the Thanksgiving turkey from the bag. Increase the oven temperature to 450° and roast the turkey for 30 minutes longer. Turkey should be a golden brown by now. If it's not, leave it for another 10-15 minutes.
Carefully remove the turkey from the oven and transfer the turkey to a platter without the juices. Transfer the juices to a separate bowl and let everyone use it as gravy.
