    Roaster Oven - Roast Turkey


    Source of Recipe


    think sunbeam com
    The roaster oven cooks a turkey in half the time of a regular oven,
    but use a meat thermometer to make sure your turkey is thoroughly
    cooked. The roaster oven does NOT brown a turkey. The constant
    dripping of condensation from the cover of the roaster oven
    prevents the turkey from browning. Use the roaster oven if you plan
    to serve the turkey sliced, rather than presenting the whole turkey
    at the dinner table.
    my own note: The turkeys we've had cooked in a roaster oven
    came out a nice golden color. They were delicious.

    Roaster Oven - Roast Turkey

    14 - 15 pound turkey, fresh or totally thawed
    1 onion, peeled and cut in half
    1 stalk celery
    salt and pepper

    Remove the rack. Pour 1/2 cup water into the insert pan, cover and
    preheat to 325 degrees.
    Remove giblets and neck from cavities of turkey. Set aside and use for
    giblet gravy. Rinse bird inside and out with cold water.
    Place onion and celery inside turkey. Rub outside with salt and pepper.
    Place on rack. Brush whole turkey with butter.
    Place in roaster and cook 1&1/2 to 2 hours. Check meat thermometer
    reading. Turkey is done when thermometer registers 180 degrees. Yield: 6 to
    8 servings.

    Note:
    Always thaw a frozen turkey in the refrigerator, not at room
    temperature. A 12-15 pound frozen turkey will take 2 - 3 days to thaw in the
    refrigerator. If pressed for time, this size turkey can be thawed in cold
    water in 6 - 9 hours. Be sure to change the water often.

    Substitution:
    Brush vegetable or olive oil instead of butter on the turkey, if desired.
