Easiest Turkey!

Call me crazy, but this turkey recipe from Reynolds is a hit every year! It’s super simple and is super moist because you cook it in a bag! YEP— I swear this is the key to the perfect turkey. I just use these large oven bags.

TIP: I use a Meater to cook our all of our meat. It’s perfection every single time. It’s one of my best kitchen investments ever. if you don’t have one, grab it ASAP!

TIP #2—brine your turkey! Those directions aren’t in the recipe, but here’s how you do it:

  1. Place a gallon of warm water in a large pot, bucket, or cooler. (Use 1 gallon for every 10lbs.)
  2. Stir in 1 c. salt and 1 c. of sugar for every gallon of water and sugar; stir until dissolved.
  3. Stir in 4 c. chicken broth.
  4. Add some garlic, carrot slices, lemon slices, orange peel, peppercorns, thyme, rosemary, and parsley (all optional); stir to combine.
  5. Carefully submerge the turkey in the brine for 12-24 hours, keep refrigerated or in a very cold garage.
