Main Dish/Entrees

Quick Roast Turkey

The roaster oven cooks a turkey in about 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 prevents the turkey from browning but also produces a turkey that is moist and juicy.

14 to 18 pound fresh or thawed turkey

1 teaspoon salt

1 onion, cut in half

12

teaspoon pepper

2 stalks celery

14

cup butter, melted

Remove the rack. Pour 12 cup water into the insert pan, cover and preheat to 325ºF. 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. Cover and cook at 325ºF for 2 to 212 hours. Check meat thermometer reading. Continue cooking until meat thermometer registers 180ºF.

Turkey Browning Sauce

For turkey with a brown skin, use the following recipe before cooking:

14 cup melted butter or margarine

112 teaspoons browning sauce, like Kitchen Bouquet 1 teaspoon paprika

Wash turkey with cold water. Pat dry. Paint turkey with the browning mixture and cook as directed.

Whole Baked Ham

15 pound fully-cooked smoked ham

12 cup orange juice

2 cups water

1 cup brown sugar

12 cup honey

 

Trim thick part of fat off of ham, down to 14-inch. Score remaining layer of fat into diamond design; this will help hold glaze. Place ham on rack and place in roaster. Pour 2 cups water into insert pan. Cover and roast at 325ºF for 1 hour. Combine remaining ingredients to make glaze. Remove cover and spoon half of glaze over ham. Cover and bake 1 more hour. Remove cover and spoon remaining glaze over ham. Replace cover, increase temperature to 400ºF and bake for 10 minutes to set glaze.
