This is quite possibly the best oven roasted turkey I have ever eaten. It is very easy to prepare and turns out perfectly every time. The breast meat is extremely moist and flavorful due to the initial cooking process. (upside down) The brining process is optional, but highly recommended. The perfect Holiday side dish would be some oyster stuffing (see below), and cranberries.
Upside Down Oven Roasted Turkey
1 thawed tom turkey 12-15lb. 1 cup course chopped onion 1 cup course chopped celery 1 cup course chopped carrot 1 bottle SorryBoys Barnyard Chicken
First Brine Turkey in Sorry Boy Brining Solution overnight. (See Sauce Recipe) Remove pat dry. Do not rinse. Next coat the bird with SorryBoys BarnYard Seasoning inside and out, use the whole bottle, throw a bunch in the bottom of the roaster. Fold the wings back under the bird and stuff the cavity with vegetables. Place extra Veggies in bottom of pan. Place bird upside down on roasting rack. Breast side down. Place in 325 deg. oven. Add or remove water as necessary to keep liquid in roaster, but do not float or cover bird. Roast until thigh temp reaches 160 de. F. approx. 18-20 min/lb. Basting is optional, but does add to flavor. Plus it looks like you are working real hard to cook this thing. Check every 1/2 hr. Rotate bird right side up, breast side up and continue Roasting until Breast Meat reaches 180 deg. F. Cover with foil if bird starts to get too dark. Remove from oven and let rest 30 min. This Strutter will be Golden Brown on all sides! What a Presentation. Make an awesome Gravy by mixing cornstarch with the pan drippings. Use a deep roaster pan for more gravy. I make up to a gallon of gravy for hot turkey sandwiches later. This stuff is really good! Slice and place on platter. Surround with cooked veggies. Drizzle Gravy all over the platter.
Oyster Dressing 20 oysters, shucked, plus their liquor In a large bowl, combine the crumbled croutons and oysters. Melt 1/2 cup of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the foaming subsides, add the bacon, shallots, celery, and seasonings, to taste. Cook, stirring, until soft, about 10 minutes. Add the reserved oyster liquor, and bring to a boil. Transfer the shallot-herb mixture to the cornbread and oysters and stir to combine. Set aside for 10 minutes. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Transfer the cornbread mixture to a buttered 1-quart gratin dish, dot with the remaining butter, and bake until browned and crusty, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
Wow, is this Good!
