Tatking Turkey
Have A Happy "Friendsgiving"
(NAPS)--Can't make it
home for the holidays? Con-
sider hosting a Fun Friends-
giving day with colleagues,
dorm mates, neighbors and
pals. Luckily, it can be easy to
do--even in small apartments,
offices or college kitchens.
Don't worry about a lot of
extra equipment. It's easy to
roast a turkey in a Reynolds
Oven Bag. Reyno.lds also
makes disposable Bakeware
that makes cooking and
transporting a cinch. It's
made with heavy-duty alu-
minum, so don't sweat a big
mess. And the bright-blue
exterior is stylish enough for
serving.
You can see how well they
work with this recipe:
Herb-Roasted Turkey
I Reynolds Oven Bag,
Turkey Size
1 tablespoon flour
2 stalks celery
1 medium onion
1 8- to 24-pound
turkey, fresh or
thawed
2 tablespoons
vegetable oil or
melted butter
tablespoon dried
sage
1 teaspoon each dried
thyme, basil, rose-
mary, paprika and
seasoned salt
½ teaspoon pepper
Preheat oven to 350 ° F.
Shake flour in Reynolds
Oven Bag; place in large
roasting pan at least 2
inches deep. Spray inside
of bag with nonstick cook-
ing spray, if desired, to
reduce sticking with large
turkeys. Add vegetables
to oven bag. Remove neck
and giblets from turkey.
Roasting a turkey for your
friends may be simpler than
you think.
Rinse turkey, pat dry and
brush with oil. Combine
seasonings in a small
bowl; sprinkle and rub
evenly over turkey. Place
turkey in oven bag on top
of vegetables. Close oven
bag with nylon tie; cut six
1/inch slits in top. Insert
meat thermometer through
slit in bag into thickest
part of inner thigh not
touching the bone. Tuck
ends of bag in pan. Bake
1½ to 2 hours for 8-12-
pound turkeys; 2 to 2½
hours for 12-16-pound
turkeys; 2½ to 3 hours for
16-20-pound turkeys; 3 to
3½ hours fdP 20-24-pound
turkeys or until meat
thermometer reads 180 °
F. For Hghtly stuffed tur-
keys, add ½ hour to bake
time. Let stand in oven
bag 15 minutes. Cut open
toP of bag. Use two carv-
ing forks, inserting one
in each end, to lift turkey
from bag.
Be sure the turkey is com-
pletely thawed before start-
ing to cook it. Depending on
the size of the bird, this may
take several days in the
refrigerator.
