Classic Roasted Turkey

 
No Author Published: November 4, 2009   


It’s easy to get overwhelmed by the variety of methods and advice available for roasting the Thanksgiving turkey. I started basting our turkey with this sand plum jelly and butter mixture several years ago. It finishes beautifully with a lovely sweet golden finish. Consider the amount of oven space you will have available and what will be most practical for you in your kitchen. This classic method can be used with a lidded roasting pan or heavy duty roaster with a tent of foil until final basting. Plan about 15 minutes roasting time per pound plus an additional 20 to 30 minutes resting time.
