I love this season, it&rsquo;s my favorite time of the year. And how can you not? You can&rsquo;t turn the TV on without seeing a Christmas movie on and I just can&rsquo;t help myself, I watch them all. I can watch Christmas movies all day long.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So have you roasted a turkey before? Don&rsquo;t be scared, it&rsquo;s just a big bird. Over the years, I&rsquo;ve watched my mother roast turkeys over and over again. I love everything about roasting a turkey. The smell in the kitchen, the holiday atmosphere all around and of course, eating that delicious turkey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This recipe here for a roast turkey is a simple basic turkey recipe. I brushed the turkey with a lemon flavored butter, generously and I mean generously and seasoned it with salt and pepper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-17.jpg\" alt=\"a roast turkey on a turkey platter garnished with herbs and cranberries.\" class=\"wp-image-57636\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-17.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-17-750x563.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-17-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-17-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-17-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-17-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-17-730x548.jpg 730w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-17-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-17-180x135.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-17-177x133.jpg 177w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-17-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-17-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-17-53x40.jpg 53w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-17-340x255.jpg 340w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-17-650x488.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-17-120x90.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-17-240x180.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-17.jpg\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-thaw-a-turkey\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Thaw_A_Turkey\"><\/span>How To Thaw A Turkey<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The safest and easiest way to thaw a turkey is in the refrigerator, but it takes the longest. It will take a few days, depending on the size of your turkey. All you have to do is put the turkey in a pan to catch any drips and leave it in the fridge for a few days. Allow<strong> 24 hours<\/strong> for every <strong>5 pounds of turkey<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re planning to brine the turkey, wet or dry, you can do this while the turkey is partially frozen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"featured-content location-fwc-content block-icon-header style-check block-ingredients\" id=\"Ingredients_Youll_Need\">\n\n\t<div class=\"wrap\">\n\n\t\t<div class=\"section-image\">\n\n\t\n\t\t<img width=\"1500\" height=\"1189\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/roast-turkey-ingredients-2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-placement-section size-placement-section entry-image\" alt=\"ingredients needed to make a roast turkey.\" data-pin-nopin=\"nopin\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/roast-turkey-ingredients-2.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/roast-turkey-ingredients-2-768x609.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/roast-turkey-ingredients-2-750x595.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/roast-turkey-ingredients-2-76x60.jpg 76w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/roast-turkey-ingredients-2-730x579.jpg 730w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/roast-turkey-ingredients-2-400x317.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/roast-turkey-ingredients-2-200x159.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/roast-turkey-ingredients-2-180x143.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/roast-turkey-ingredients-2-177x140.jpg 177w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/roast-turkey-ingredients-2-150x119.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/roast-turkey-ingredients-2.jpg\">\n\t\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"section-content\">\n\n\t\n\t<h2 class=\"section-title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ingredients_Youll_Need\"><\/span>\n\n\n\t\n\t\tIngredients You&rsquo;ll Need\n\t\n\n\t<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"section-description\"><p><!-- wp:list --><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li><strong>Turkey <\/strong>&ndash; I typically roast turkeys that are around 10 to 12 pounds.<\/li>\n<p><!-- \/wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --><\/p>\n<li><strong>Butter <\/strong>&ndash; Used to add lovey richness and buttery goodness.

The only difference is that it will take a lot longer to cook than normal, 50 percent more time. For example, a <strong>10 pound turkey<\/strong> will take about <strong>5 &frac14; hours<\/strong> to cook. Best way to check if it&rsquo;s cooked is still to use a meat thermometer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The turkey cooks as it thaws, with the legs and wings cooking faster. If cooking a frozen turkey, you won&rsquo;t be able to do any fancy rubs or brines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1875\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-18.jpg\" alt=\"a hand carving turkey breast from a roast turkey.\" class=\"wp-image-57635\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-18.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-18-750x938.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-18-400x500.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-18-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-18-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-18-48x60.jpg 48w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-18-730x913.jpg 730w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-18-200x250.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-18-180x225.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-18-177x221.jpg 177w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-18-150x188.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-18-32x40.jpg 32w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-18-340x425.jpg 340w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-18-650x813.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-18-120x150.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-18-240x300.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-18.jpg\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-brining-a-turkey\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Brining_A_Turkey\"><\/span>Brining A Turkey<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Brining involves immersing the turkey in a salt-water solution or dry-brining it in salt for a day or so before cooking. This results in a moist and perfectly seasoned turkey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have the extra time, I strongly recommend to brine your turkey. Check out my post on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/recipes\/brined-roast-turkey-breast\/\">Brined Roast Turkey Breast<\/a> for detailed instructions on how to brine your turkey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <strong>dry-brine<\/strong>, also called pre-salting, seasons the turkey like a wet brine, but there&rsquo;s no water. You basically rub the salt and seasonings directly into the meat and skin, and let it rest in the fridge for a period of time before cooking. This works because the salt draws out the meat juices through osmosis. The salt then dissolves into the juices, and this brine is reabsorbed into the meat and starts to break down tough muscle proteins. The result is a juicy, tender, seasoned turkey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cooking-times-for-roasting-a-turkey\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cooking_Times_For_Roasting_A_Turkey\"><\/span>Cooking Times For Roasting A Turkey<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><em><strong>Turkey Weight<\/strong><\/em><\/td><td><em><strong>Serves<\/strong><\/em><\/td><td><em><strong>Roasting Time<\/strong><\/em><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>10-18 lbs<\/td><td>Less than 10 people<\/td><td>3 to 3 &frac12; hours<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>18-22 lbs<\/td><td>10-15 people<\/td><td>3 &frac12; to 4 hours<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>22-24 lbs<\/td><td>16-20 people<\/td><td>4 to 4 &frac12; hours<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>24-29 lbs<\/td><td>more than 20 people<\/td><td>4 &frac12; to 5 hours<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1875\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-15.jpg\" alt=\"a roast turkey on a turkey platter garnished with herbs and cranberries.\" class=\"wp-image-57638\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-15.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-15-750x938.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-15-400x500.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-15-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-15-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-15-48x60.jpg 48w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-15-730x913.jpg 730w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-15-200x250.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-15-180x225.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-15-177x221.jpg 177w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-15-150x188.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-15-32x40.jpg 32w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-15-340x425.jpg 340w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-15-650x813.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-15-120x150.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-15-240x300.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-15.jpg\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"featured-content location-fwc-content block-tip-box\" id=\"block_48479580a285d143233a0d9ec52e6799\">\n\n\t<div class=\"wrap\">\n\n\t\t<div class=\"section-content\">\n\n\t\n\t<h2 class=\"section-title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Expert_Tips\"><\/span>\n\n\n\t\n\t\tExpert Tips\n\t\n\n\t<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"section-description\"><p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Always cook your turkey until the skin is a light golden color.

Do not go by the color of the skin. The turkey is done when the thigh meat reaches an internal temperature of 180&deg;F and the breast reaches 165&deg;F. Make sure the thermometer is not touching the bone.<\/li>\n<li>If you&rsquo;re stuffing your turkey, check the temperature of the dressing as well. It should be <strong>165&deg;F(75&deg;C)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Just like with any roast, you need to let your meat sit and rest after removing it from the oven for <strong>20 to 30 minutes<\/strong>. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat and makes carving easier.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div

The Drippings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The great thing about a roast turkey is all the leftover drippings to make <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/recipes\/turkey-gravy\/\">gravy<\/a>. Making gravy is so incredibly easy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, you&rsquo;ll need to strain the drippings through a fine-mesh sieve and then discard all the solids like the carrots and onions. You should have about 2 cups of pan drippings left. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, you&rsquo;ll need to melt about <strong>&frac14;<\/strong> cup of butter in a saucepan then sprinkle <strong>&frac14;<\/strong> cup of flour and whisk it in. Cook it about a minute to remove that raw flour taste. Gradually, whisk in the pan drippings and bring to a boil. If you find the gravy is too thick, feel free to add a bit more chicken broth to it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All that&rsquo;s left to do is taste it for seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper as needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1875\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-14.jpg\" alt=\"turkey breast sliced up with mashed potatoes and gravy on a plate.\" class=\"wp-image-57639\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-14.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-14-750x938.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-14-400x500.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-14-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-14-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-14-48x60.jpg 48w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-14-730x913.jpg 730w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-14-200x250.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-14-180x225.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-14-177x221.jpg 177w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-14-150x188.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-14-32x40.jpg 32w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-14-340x425.jpg 340w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-14-650x813.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-14-120x150.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-14-240x300.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.jocooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/roast-turkey-1-14.jpg\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-craving-more-thanksgiving-recipes-try-these\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Craving_More_Thanksgiving_Recipes_Try_These\"><\/span>Craving More Thanksgiving Recipes?
