In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make a Thanksgiving Roast Turkey. This is a 12-pound frozen turkey, thawed in the refrigerator for 4 days, prepared with butter and salt, and then roasted in a covered roasting pan in the oven for 4 hours. During the last hour of roasting, the turkey is basted with its own juice occasionally. During the last half hour of roasting, the lid of the roasting pan is removed, to brown off the turkey. The turkey is done when a meat thermometer, inserted into …

You can do it either way, and it will be fine. I prefer not to use a bag. Thanks for your question!

A 16 to 20 pound turkey will take 5 to 5 1/2 hours at 325 degrees, so I’m guessing it will be about 5 hours and 15 minutes, give or take.

love your videos, how long would you cook an 18 lb turkey and at what temperature?
December 30th, 2009 at
I noticed you said that you were going to put slits in the top. That’s okay, but I wouldn’t do that; I would want to keep all the steam and moisture inside until I am ready to remove the foil. My roasting pan has circle in the top with a sliding metal ring. I keep it closed. I hope this helps!

Excellent — one more question (sorry) — should I cut a few slits in the foil so air can escape? Does your roasting pan have a hole in the top? Thanks again Betty, you’re the best!

Yours will be fine, covered with foil. Just remove the foil 1/2 hour before you think the turkey will be done, and it will brown nicely. I took the lid off for the last half-hour. Good luck with your turkey!

Betty — question for ya! I don’t have a nice roasting pan like yours and so I will be making my turkey in an aluminum pan. Do you keep your turkey covered with the lid the whole time? As a substitute, could I just cover the turkey with foil and cut a few slits in it? I guess I’m wondering how the turkey browns if there’s a lid on it the entire time. Yours did brown nicely, however. Thanks for the help!

Washing the turkey took me awhile, and it was pretty messy, so I did not include that in the video. After washing the turkey, I moved it back up on the counter and placed my roasting pan in the sink. You might have noted that the turkey oozed a lot of water onto the counter. It would have been better if I had patted all of that dry with a paper towel! After I had the turkey in the oven, I washed the counter with soapy water, and then washed it with pure clorox, then soapy water again.
