No more waiting around for hours for your turkey to cook, it will be cooked in a short time and with perfect results! this method will seal in juices to produce a juicy tender turkey, this is for unstuffed turkeys only and do not use this method for turkeys weighing over 16 pounds, cooking time is only estimated it will depend on the size of the turkey used --- a 14-pound unstuffed turkey should be cooked in 1-1/2 hours, and a 16 pound turkey should be cooked in just under 1.75 hours --- do *not* allow the water in your pan to evaporate or it will start to smoke, I advise to use your above-oven fan while cooking the turkey, and I strongly suggest to only use margarine for this since butter tends to scorch at high heat, if you are brining the turkey firstly then omit the salt --- also see my recipe #221743

Time 2h20m

Yield 1 whole turkey

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 whole turkey (14-16 pounds)
1/2 cup melted margarine
2 teaspoons white salt
fresh ground black pepper (lots of black pepper)
2 cups water (to cover the bottom of pan, more if needed while cooking)

Steps:

  • Set oven rack to second-lowest position.
  • Set oven to 450°F and preheat for about 8 minutes.
  • Grease a large roasting pan and a flat rack to fit into the pan.
  • Pour about 2 cups water into the pan or enough to cover the bottom of the pan generously.
  • Rinse the turkey inside and out with cold water, then pat dry using paper towels.
  • In a bowl mix together the melted margarine with salt until well combined.
  • Slice off the hanging neck skin then tuck the wing tips under the breast.
  • Using cotton butcher's string tie the legs together (do not use nylon string for this).
  • Place the turkey on a flat rack breast-side down into the roasting pan.
  • Brush turkey with margarine/salt mixture then generously season with fresh ground black pepper.
  • Turn the turkey over with breast-side facing up, then brush the top of the turkey with remaining margarine mixture (you do not have to use the full amount of margarine) then season with lots black pepper.
  • Insert a meat thermometer into the fleshy part of the thigh but away and not touching the bone.
  • Roast turkey at 450°F rotating the pan 180°F about halfway through roasting (at this point you will most likely need to add in more water to your pan).
  • Roast at 450°F for 1-1/2 hours to 2-1/2 hours, cooking time will vary depending on the size of your turkey.
  • Cook/roast the turkey until the thermometer reads 170°F (the temperature will rise to 180°F when the turkey is removed from the oven).
  • For 14-pound turkey start checking the thermometer at around 75 minutes.
  • Do not allow the water in the pan to evaporate or your oven will start to smoke, add in more if needed during cooking time.
  • When the thermometer reads 170°F remove from oven then lift one side of the turkey to allow the juices from inside cavity to drain off in the pan.
  • Cover loosely with foil and allow to stand for 30 minutes (do not slice or stick with a fork or the juices will run out of the turkey).

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 whole chicken (3-3 1/2 lbs)
2 Tbsp oil

1 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 1/2 Tbsp seasoning salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/8 tsp cayenne (optional)
1 lemon or onion, poke holes in

Steps:

  • 1. Rinse the chicken inside and out well under cold water, then pat dry using a paper towel. In a small bowl mix the lemon juice with oil and melted butter until blended, then rub all over the chicken. Using clean hands rub the inside and outside of the chicken with seasoned salt, garlic powder, black pepper and cayenne (you can season the chicken under the skin also if desired). Place the lemon/s inside the cavity. Place the chicken into a baking dish (you can place the chicken onto a small roasting rack if desired and you may want to add in a little water to the pan to prevent smoking). Using cotton string tie the legs together tightly. At this point you may cover and refrigerate for up to 6 hours (not more than that or the acid in the lemon juice will start to "cook" the chicken). Set oven to 450 degrees F. Roast the chicken at 450 degrees for 20 minutes, then reduce the heat to 400 degrees and continue roasting for about 40 minutes (or until the internal temperature reaches about 175 to 180 degrees F. about 1 hour or a little less) Cover with foil and let sit for 15 minutes before slicing (do not slice before that time or the juices will flow out!).

KITTENCAL'S BEST BLASTED RAPID-ROAST WHOLE CHICKEN

Blasting with high heat will shrink the skin and seal in all the juices to create an extremely moist and tender chicken with lovely crispy skin - and it will be on your table in about an hour. This method will also work with a larger chicken, but cooking time will need to be increased. You may adjust all seasonings to taste. If you are not a lemon lover, then you may omit the lemon juice. You really can use whatever seasoning that you like for this. I like to use seasoned salt. Make certain to use a fork and poke holes all over in the lemon, then place it into the cavity of the chicken. Roast roast as stated. The chicken with be moist and have a faint lemon flavor.

KITTENCAL'S PERFECT ROASTED WHOLE TURKEY (GREAT FOR BEGINNERS)



Kittencal's Perfect Roasted Whole Turkey (Great for Beginners) image

Here you will find easy step-by-step instructions that will result in the best juiciest turkey you will ever have! cooking the turkey breast-side down will create a tender juicy turkey without brining or using other methods --- if you are stuffing the turkey you will need approximately 8 cups of prepared stuffing for an 18-pound turkey --- the cooking time for this recipe is for an 18-pound stuffed turkey cooked at 325 degrees F but you have the option of stuffing or not --- my best advise for a beginner is to use a meat thermometer inserted in the breast area, this way you will be assured that your turkey is cooked to the proper temperature, you can cover the uncooked stuffed turkey with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight and just pop it in the oven the following mid-morning or whenever you are ready to cook the turkey --- make certain that you have lots of chicken broth handy for this recipe as you will most likely need to keep adding more into the pan while cooking --- see cooking times on the bottom for whole turkeys --- see my recipe#145064

Categories     Whole Turkey

Time 4h25m

Yield 12-15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (18 lb) whole turkey
1/3 cup melted butter, cooled (can use margarine)
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon white salt (or use as much salt as desired)
fresh ground black pepper (lots of pepper!)
2 quarts chicken stock (might use less)
8 cups favorite prepared stuffing (optional)

Steps:

  • Set oven to 325 degrees F, convection oven heat set to 320 degrees F.
  • Set oven rack to lowest position.
  • Remove the giblets and neck from the cavity.
  • Rinse the turkey well with cold water inside and out then pat dry with a paper towel.
  • Place the turkey on a rack on a roasting pan.
  • In a small bowl mix together the melted butter with oil (I also like to add in 1 teaspoon garlic powder with the oil/butter mixture if you are a garlic-lover then use it).
  • Fill the inside cavity loosley with prepared stuffing (if you are not using stuffing then tie the legs together with cotton butchers twine).
  • Using clean hands rub the outside of the turkey with the oil/butter/garlic mixture.
  • Season the turkey all over with salt and lots fresh ground black pepper.
  • If you are NOT stuffing the bird place breast-side down on the rack, if stuffing leave breast-side up.
  • Place/tent a large piece of heavy foil over the turkey.
  • Place the pan in the oven, then pour about 4-5 cups chicken broth in the pan.
  • Keep basting the turkey about every 30-40 minutes with the pan juices on the bottom of the pan (removing the foil and re-tenting every time you baste).
  • If you see the juices starting to evaporate then add in more broth to the pan about 2 cups at a time.
  • After about 2-1/2 hours of cooking time remove the foil.
  • Keep roasting (325 degrees F) until the internal thermometer reads 180 degrees F (80 degrees C).
  • The total cooking time for this 18-pound stuffed bird should be about 4 hours.
  • Transfer the cooked turkey to a large serving platter, cover loosley with foil and let rest 30 minutes before carving (DO NOT slice the turkey before 30 minutes or all juices will flow out of the bird!).
  • --------------------------------------------.
  • **NOTE** cooking times for whole turkeys cooked at 325 degrees are as follows.
  • For an 8-12 pound turkey, roast for 2-3/4 to 3 hours.
  • For a 12-14 pound turkey, roast for 3 to 3-3/4 hours.
  • For a 14-18 pound turkey, roast for 3-3/4 to 4-1/4 hours.
  • For an 18-20 pound turkey, roast for 4-1/2 to 4-3/4 hours.

Tips:

  • To ensure the turkey is thoroughly cooked, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The turkey is done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the breast and 175°F (79°C) in the thigh.
  • To prevent the turkey from drying out, baste it with the melted butter or oil every 30 minutes during roasting.
  • If you don't have a roasting pan with a rack, you can place the turkey on a bed of vegetables, such as carrots, celery, and onions.
  • For a crispy skin, rub the turkey with a mixture of salt, pepper, and olive oil before roasting.
  • To make a flavorful gravy, use the drippings from the roasting pan to make a roux. Then, add chicken broth and seasonings to taste.

Conclusion:

This recipe is a great way to cook a turkey for a special occasion. The turkey is roasted quickly and easily, and it comes out moist and flavorful. The gravy is also delicious and easy to make. With a little planning, you can have a delicious turkey dinner on the table in no time.
