重要提醒

⚠️

Allowing the turkey to sit at room temperature for an hour before roasting promotes more even cooking.

⚠️

The herb butter under the skin is the secret to keeping the breast meat moist and flavorful.

⚠️

Basting is essential. Start after the initial 2 hours and continue every 30 minutes to ensure a juicy turkey with crisp skin.

⚠️

Do not discard the vegetables and pan drippings; they form the flavorful base for your gravy.

⚠️

Resting the turkey after cooking is crucial. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, preventing it from being dry.
