Cooking Tips

• Make sure to baste the turkey every 30 minutes to keep it moist and flavorful.
• If the turkey starts to brown too quickly, tent it with foil to prevent over-browning.
• For a crispier skin, you can remove the foil during the last 30 minutes of roasting.
• To check if the turkey is cooked, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh. It should read 165°F (74°C).

Storage and Serving

• Leftover turkey can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
• To reheat, place the turkey slices in a baking dish, cover with foil, and heat in a preheated oven at 325°F (165°C) until warmed through.
• Serve the turkey with the pan juices and any additional side dishes of your choice.
