This is the BEST Way to Roast a Turkey for Thanksgiving
As someone who usually hosts Thanksgiving, I can tell you it is a lot of work. From preparation to finishing the meal, those who host are exhausted by the time Thanksgiving dinner is on the table.
Last year, I decided to do something different when it comes to roasting the turkey. I needed space in the oven for other dishes and I did not want to babysit a bird in the oven for hours on end. This method worked wonderfully and I do not think that I can ever go back to the traditional way of roasting a turkey on Thanksgiving.
The Best and Fastest Way to Roast a Turkey for Thanksgiving
You are probably thinking, fast equals dry, that's where you are mistaken. This method for roasting a turkey makes it so both the dark and white meat are cooked to perfection. To get the best result for your turkey, you are going to carve it before you cook it. Yes, you read that correctly. Deboning the turkey and separating the white from the dark meat means you can cook both types of meat to different temperatures needed to ensure proper cooking.
Not only will you get a turkey cooked to perfection, but you will also save time. We're talking hours of preparation and cook time back and who doesn't want that? This method was shared by Not Another Cooking Show on YouTube. I will admit, I was very skeptical as to how well this would work and so were my guests. You should have seen the look on their faces when they arrived at my house and I was just putting the turkey into the oven.
Little did they know, that this method came to be my favorite method to roasting the perfect turkey for Thanksgiving. If you want to save yourself a lot of time, refrigerator, and oven space this Thanksgiving, watch this video and save it for Thanksgiving day. You will certainly be thankful for giving this method a try when cooking your turkey this Thanksgiving.
