If you are complaining on how your turkey turns out less flavorful and not moist, as you wanted to be. This Christmas turkey recipe will guide you step by step to a perfect Turkey dinner.
STEPS:
First, brining over night will help not only making your turkey extra moist but more flavorful as well.
Second, stuff your turkey with herbs, lemon, garlic, and onion will help boost the flavor inside and out.
Third, Seasoning is a key to a perfect turkey. Rub your turkey with your favorite seasoning, preferably salt and freshly ground pepper inside and out.
Finally, cooking time, as everyone will come up with a different way to cook a turkey. I will recommend sticking to the basic method. Cooking time should be applied on the weight, the size and the statue such as frozen or fresh.
Brining: whole black pepper, mustard seeds, celery, orange sliced, lemon sliced, onion quartered and salt.
Stuffing: Celery, onion, carrots, garlic, sage, bay leaves, thyme, parsley.
Seasoning: Kosher salt and fresh-ground pepper inside and out.
Cooking time: for a small/medium size cook in 375 degree for about 2:45 minutes by turning in half way in cooking time and finally brushing the turkey with dripped oil for more moisture.
Last tip is letting the turkey rest for about 20 minutes before carving.
I hope this tips will be helpful for your next Turkey dinner.
