How long to cook a turkey?!
Answers:
This is for a stuffed bird, 20-22 pounds I only make that kind because my mother said if it's not stuffed it turns out dry!. Get a sausage stuffing recipe off the internet or Jimmy Dean package!.
Roast first at 425 for 50 min to brown!. Then make a tent which covers the breast out of Alum Foil roast for 1 hr 45 min at roast at 350 degrees, or until the breast reads 160 degrees on an instant read thermometer!. The dark meat will automaticly be at 185 degrees because it was not covered!. So the white meat will be juicy and the dark meat will be fully cooked!. If you would like to have the most delicious turkey, I make this and folks drive many miles to have my turkey, just slide some Chipotle butter under the breast skin first before you brown the bird!.!.
Chipotle Butter
? pound (1 stick) butter, softened
2 tablespoons minced shallots (first sauted in a little butter)
1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon minced chipotle pepper in adobo sauce (buy in a regular grocery store or in Hispanic grocery store) + (1) teaspoon of the adobe sauce from the can mixture
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
? teaspoon salt
Combine ? pound butter, shallots, cilantro, chipotle peppers, chipotle sauce, lime juice and salt in small mixer bowl; beat on high speed until light and fluffy!. Set aside!. Roll into a cylinder using wax paper, refrigerate or freeze, remove ahead of time to softer a bit, cut off circles and slip under the bird's skin!. Sprinkle a well oiled bird with Adobo Spice before roasting!.
Now you will have made a gourmet bird guests will talk about for years to come!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
