ROAST TURKEY
NOTE: The Smoker Roaster will cook a turkey in less time than a conventional oven, but we recommend a meat thermometer to ensure turkey is thoroughly cooked.
The roaster will NOT BROWN the turkey. Due the compact design and the constant condensation dripping from the cover prevents the turkey from browning but instead produces a moister, juicer turkey.
14 to 18 pound turkey - fresh or thawed | 1 teaspoon salt |
1 onion, cut in quarters | 1/2 teaspoon pepper |
2 stalks of celery, cut into 3 to 4 inch spears | 1/4 melted butter |
3 whole dried bay leaves | 2 teaspoon poultry seasoning |
Remove the giblets and neck from the cavities of the turkey. Wash the turkey cavities and the outside of the turkey with cold water. Pat dry with paper towels. Gently run your fingers under the skin on the breast area, careful not to tear the skin. Push the bay leaves under the skin - between the skin and meat of the bird. (putting 2 of the leaves in the larger lower portion of the breast and one at the opening of the neck cavity.) Place the onion and celery inside the turkey. Rub the outside with the salt, pepper and poultry seasoning.Place on the Roasting Rack and place inside Cooking pan of assembled roaster.Brush the outside with the melted butter. Place Cove on unit and cook at 325° F for 2 1/2 to 3 hours or until done. If using a meat thermometer, it should register 180° F when turkey is done.
To Brown the Turkey
For turkey to have a brown skin, try the following:
When preparing the turkey for cooking, mix:
1/2 cup melted butter or margarine
1 1/2 teaspoons browning sauce - (such as Kitchen Bouquet or Gravy master) 1 teaspoon paprika
After washing turkey and patting dry, brush on the browning mixture and cook as directed.
