Turkey In A Roasting Bag
direction
Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a medium bowl, mix together salt, pepper, poultry seasoning, paprika, crushed red pepper flakes, grated ginger, and dried thyme. Set aside.
Shake the flour into a roasting bag. Place bag in a large 2-inch deep roasting pan. Place the diced onion, garlic, and carrot pieces in the bottom of the roasting bag.
Rub turkey with melted butter. Distribute and rub the spice mixture evenly throughout the turkey.
Place the turkey in the bag and place on top of the onions and carrots. The opening of the roasting bag should face one end of the roasting pan and should not open upwards. Tie and seal with cooking twine. Make 4 to 6 slits in the top of the roasting bag.
Place the roasting pan in the oven and roast depending on the weight of the turkey. (See below for weight and cooking time)
When the internal temperature of the thickest part of the turkey leg reaches 180°F, remove it from the oven and let it sit in the oven bag for 15 minutes until the juices settle inside the turkey.
Use a carving fork to remove the turkey from the bag and place it on the carving board. Have fun carving!
