| I've been cooking our turkeys in REYNOLDS COOKING BAGS. Its so simple any kid could do it and it comes out so professional looking. Give the bird a wash, pat dry, and rub oil on the skin, sprinkle with Mrs. Dash and ut it in the oven and FORGET IT........ For an 18 lb turkey it will probably take 4 hrs to cook in the bag. ITs amazing how the turkey browns without basting, stays moist as all the juices are right in the bag, easy to syphon the juice out of the bag to make the gravey, no messy pans to clean. I've never had anything go wrong with all the ones I've cooked thru the years. Just wanted to add my method in the thread. You won't be sorry you tried it, its so simple and no fuss. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone on YorkieTalk ! |

| Have you ever cooked a turkeyy breast side down? You cook it over night at 225 degrees and place it in the pan breast side down. No stuffing put your onions and celery on the bottom of the roasting pan just like normal. I put it on about 9 pm and by 10 am the next morning it is done. for a 12-15 pound bird. The white meat is very moist and not dry casue it was in all tthe juice from the turkey. Will drive your family crazy smelling it cook all night |

| I had forgotten but have also heard good results from cooking the turkey breast side down!! When I cooked my first and only turkey ever, I left the yuckie stuff that is bagged up and stuck on the inside of it in it when I cooked it...didn't know it was there in the first place

| Cindy, If you can buy Reynolds Oven Bags at your local supermarket there are picture directions with them.Its all so very simple to follow. To cook a 12 lb. turkey stuffed it would take about 2 1/2 hrs, less if not stuffed. The best part is you just Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, Place the turkey in the bag and close with the nylon tie that comes in the pkge, Cut six 1/2-inch slits in the top of the bag for steam to escape. Tuck ends of the bag in the pan. Place the pan in the oven allowing room for the bag to expand during cooking without touching the heating elements, walls or racks. The oven bag should not hang over the pan. Then you Bake according to the recipe chart. To serve , carefully cut open the top of the oven bag, I syphon out the juices and use them for gravy making. The turkey stays moist, the liquid is all in the bag and no messy pans to clean. It even browns itself while its cooking so no need to baste. To me, its the "simplest" way for a no fuss turkey meal. If you want to learn more about those oven bags visit http://www.reynoldskitchens.com It comes out great everytime! Happy Thanksgiving !! |

| I know this is a bit late but yes I Always cook my turkey breast side down and it comes out Great! I usually have a truss or rack so I can lift it out and turn it over the last 30 minutes to brown the top. One word of caution- I have read if you don't cook a turkey at 325, the internal temp doesn't get high enough to kill bacteria. |
