Cooking turkey in a bag...help?!
I just want to know if I need to baste my turkey while it's in the bag, or do I just let it cook without ever having to touch it!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
The bag is normally sealed to hold in all of the juices so no you would not baste it, just let it cookWww@FoodAQ@Com
Baste the Turkey before you put it in the bag, along with vegetables such as onions wedges, Carrot sticks and Celery!. Do not open the bag, till the Turkey is done!. Either the probe has popped out, or your thermometer says that internal temperature has reached 165 deg F!.
After the Turkey is cooked, let it rest for 30 minutes!. Now, remove the bag!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
