ThanksGiving-Turkey-for-Roasting
Whole Turkey,  seasoned. Ready to go into the oven.
Why do we use roasting bags?

We season the turkeys the day before and place it in the bags, this is a “Dry Brining” .

Advantages are a more moist Turkey without having to baste it every 20 min ( this adds up when you do more than just one bird), and a cleaner work space.

this one is almost ready to be carved, needs a little bit more temperature and color
after taking from oven let rest for almost an hour before carving.
