Do you need a turkey baster?
It’s not necessary if you’re brining the bird or cooking it upside down. But if you’re going with the easiest, most classic method, then you really should bust out the baster. You’ve heard that basting will result in a juicier bird and it will.
Should I rub butter on my turkey?
If you do oil , but do not baste your turkey, you’ll get crispier skin without constantly opening the oven. Basting also gives you a less crisp skin. Instead of basting, rub fat (butter, olive oil or coconut oil, for example) all over the bird just before you tuck it into the oven.
How long do you let a turkey rest after cooking?
The turkey needs to rest before carving. About 45 minutes or so gives it time to reabsorb the juices; otherwise they’ll dribble out when you slice, and the meat will be dry. Don’t tent the turkey with foil to keep it warm while it’s resting; it’s unnecessary and will make the skin soggy.
Can I cook turkey at 375?
The Test Kitchen agrees that 375℉ is the best temperature to cook a turkey, because it’s not too hot, not too cold, and cooks quickly enough to ensure that a juicy, flavorful bird is ready by dinnertime. When it’s done, a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the turkey’s thigh should register 165°F.
Should you stuff your turkey the night before?
Always stuff the turkey just before putting it in the oven. You can, however, make the stuffing the night before and refrigerate it until you’re ready to roast the turkey. Be sure to let the turkey and the stuffing rest at room temperature one hour before stuffing.
How long can you keep a turkey in the fridge?
