FROZEN TURKEY THANKSGIVING MORNING

The night before Thanksgiving I checked my turkey and to my horror it was still frozen solid.My husband thought he was helping by turning up temperature in the fridge to the coldest setting. He meant well. I searched several sites and they all seemed to say the same thing. No problem. So I tried it. Turkey was moist and brown and yummy.Hope this helps someone.

Steps:

  • I placed the turkey in a plastic cooking bag. Rub top of turkey with cooking oil and sprinkle with 2 Tablespoons poultry seasoning. Tie bag in a knot( not tight)
  • Place in oven and bake on 325 degree oven for about 45 minutes
  • Carefully remove turkey from oven and remove plastic bag of giblets. Re tie bag
  • Cook about an hour more. Remove turkey from oven. Carefully untie bag and with tongs remove neck from cavity. Also I basted out the cavity juices because mine looked too "bloody". Now is the time to add your own touches. I mix the butter, parsley and remaining seasoning and stuff it under the breast skin, If the skin tears (mine did) just cover the breasts with small amount of foil so it doesn't dry out.
  • Re tie the bag tight and let cook until done. Check that the breast temperature has reached 170 degrees.
  • Remove from oven, snip bag open and allow Turkey to settle for about 15 minutes. The juices can be made into gravy or reserved for stock.
  • Serve

1 - frozen 12 pound turkey
- oil
4 tablespoon(s) poultry seasoning
1/2 cup(s) butter
2 pinch(es) parsley flakes
1 - turkey sized cooking bag

  • Stick it in the oven. Preheat your oven to 325ºF. Unwrap the turkey and place it on a rack in a shallow roasting pan or a baking sheet. You want a pan that has low sides so you can get good air circulation around the turkey.
  • Take your first temperature. After two hours, the legs and thighs should be nicely thawed and around 90 to 100 degrees. The breast will be thawed about an inch or more deep but will be cooler than the thighs.
  • Remove the giblets and neck. After three hours, the cavity should be thawed enough to remove the bag of giblets and the neck. (See the warning above.)
  • Check progress. 4 1/2-5 hours after you start, the turkey should be close to being done. The breast should reach 165ºF and the legs and thighs should be 175ºF.
  • Let it rest. As with any turkey or large cut of meat, you should let it rest after it’s done roasting. This will allow the juices to redistribute through the turkey.
