How to make Roasted Turkey:
How to make Roasted Turkey:
- First, wash the fully defrosted turkey inside and out, and let the water leak and pat dry with paper towel and place it in a roasting pan. Rub salt and pepper on turkey.
- Then mix mayo and grated garlic together. Take the mixture and rub it under the skin of the turkey, in the cavity, legs, wings, on top of skin and all over.
- Massage the turkey, especially under the skin. If possible, cover and refrigerate it overnight to marinate it.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Stuff turkey with chopped celery, carrots and whole onion. Tie turkey legs with kitchen strings. Bake at 350 degrees F (do 20 minutes per pound, plus an additional 20 minutes).
- My turkey baked for about 5 hours. Remove turkey from the oven when the thigh registers at 180 degrees F and breast registers at 165 degrees F. When removed from the oven, the temperature will continue to slightly rise. Let it rest for 20 minutes, then baste the turkey. Let it rest for another 40-50 minutes before serving. The longer it rests, the juicier it will be.
Notes: *Make sure the turkey is fully defrosted (it may take 3 days or more to defrost, depending on the size of the turkey).
*Remove Turkey from the fridge about 30 minutes before starting to work with it. If the turkey is closer to room temperature, it will bake more evenly.
*Remove the neck and bag of giblets from the turkey.
*Rinse and pat dry turkey with paper towels. Let turkey sit in a roasting pan lined with paper towels to soak up excess water from the turkey.
*It is best to marinate the turkey overnight with the mayo mixture if possible; this brings out the best flavor.
