Enjoy a warm and moist turkey with your friends and family during the holidays.
After you select the right turkey to cook, you will soon be preparing it to roast in the oven. Roasting a turkey in the oven can be a challenge, and you want everything to turn out right so that everyone enjoys the poultry. After you spend the time to cook the turkey, you will need to properly keep it warm and moist or it can dry out. If you do not allow the juices to distribute throughout the turkey before you carve it, you can end up with meat that lacks flavor and tastes dry. Add this to my Recipe Box.
Instructions
Short Term
1. Remove the turkey from the oven.
2. Allow the turkey to sit for 15 to 20 minutes at room temperature. This will allow the juices to spread throughout the turkey to keep it moist.
3. Carve the turkey and serve immediately.
Long Term
4. Remove the turkey from the oven.
5. Keep the turkey in the roasting pan. Wrap foil around the turkey and the pan.
6. Place a large towel over the turkey for one to two hours to keep it moist and warm.
