Recipe Introduction


This is the way I cook a turkey every time!
It's simple & no fuss but the important part is that it tastes good!
Any first time turkey roaster can do this easily.


List of Ingredients




fresh - Turkey, simple

one 10 to 14 lb. turkey - (you may double the following ingredients if
the bird is 15 - 22 lbs)
1 large yellow onion, sliced into 6 thick slices
4 stalks of celery
1 (12 oz) can of frozen concentrated orange juice, thawed but NOT
diluted
1/2 pint of brandy
1 half full juice can (6 oz) of vegetable oil
2 Tablespoons of flour
1 pop-up turkey timer or Digital Probe Themometer (I prefer the Probe)
1 Reynold's Brand (Plastic) Turkey Size Cooking bag
Turkey size roasting pan

Remove 1 of your oven racks & place the 1 rack remaining all the way to
the bottom of your oven.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
1. Dust the inside of your cooking bag with the flour & place the bag on
the roasting pan.
2. Lay the slices of onion in a single layer inside the bag, then lay
the celery stalks on top of the onion slices.
(This keeps the turkey from sticking to the bottom of the bag & adds
great flavor to the turkey)
3. Rinse your turkey well under running water & pat dry with paper
towels.
---Don't forget to look in BOTH ends of your turkey & remove the neck &
the bag of giblets---
4. Poke the pop-up turkey timer into one of the turkey's breasts.
(If using the digital probe, wait to insert until you place the turkey
into the bag & insert the probe thru the bag into the breast.)
5. Place the turkey into the bag on top of the celery & onions.
6. Pour the thawed orange juice into a bowl & add the brandy & oil---use
the empty orange juice can to measure the oil by filling the can half
way up.
7. Mix together with a whisk & pour a little of this over the top of the
turkey & the rest into the cavity of the bird.
8. Close the bag with the tie provided & poke about 6 half inch holes
into the top of the bag for ventilation.
9. Place pan into oven.
(The side you put the pop-up timer in should face the door. Or if using
the Probe, set the temp-timer to 170')
10. When pop-up timer pops up or the digital probe timer goes off remove
turkey from the oven & let it rest for 45 minutes to 1 hour in the
UNOPENED bag.
11. After 1 hour, open the bag & carve the turkey laying the slices on a
platter & drizzling them with the juice from the turkey to keep them
moist.
(Keep the slices covered at all times or the slices will become dry.)
Enjoy!!!!!
