Roasted Thanksgiving Turkey
Recipe courtesy of Ree Drummond
Total: 21 hr 30 min
Prep: 30 min
Inactive: 16 hr
Cook: 5 hr
Yield: 12 servings
Level: Easy
Ingredients
1 whole fresh turkey or frozen turkey that has not been injected with sodium solution (I use a 20-pound turkey)
My Favorite Turkey Brine, recipe follows
2 sticks butter, softened
3 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons orange zest, julienned
My Favorite Turkey Brine:
2 gallons cold water
3 cups apple cider
2 cups packed brown sugar
3/4 cup kosher salt
3 tablespoons tricolor peppercorns
5 whole bay leaves
5 cloves garlic, minced
Peel of 3 large oranges, cut into large strips
4 fresh rosemary sprigs, leaves stripped off
Directions
Special equipment: brining bag or very large pot
Remove the turkey from its packaging and remove the bags inside that hold the neck and giblets. Rinse them and put them in a plastic bag in the fridge; you’ll need them for the gravy. Rinse the turkey thoroughly with cold water. Place the turkey into a large brining bag or pot. Pour in My Favorite Turkey Brine and place in the fridge for 16 to 18 hours so the brine can work its magic.
Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
After the turkey has brined, remove it from the brining bag and rinse the turkey thoroughly again inside and out. Soak the turkey in cold water for 15 minutes, and then rinse again and pat dry.
Truss the bird or tuck the legs and wings however you like. Then place the bird, breast-side up, on a rack in a large roasting pan. Cover the whole pan, tenting the bird, with heavy-duty foil so that it’s well sealed. Place in the oven and roast the turkey for about 10 minutes per pound. (So for a 20-pound turkey, roast it at 275 degrees for about 3 1/2 hours. For a 15-pound turkey, roast it for 2 1/2 hours.) Note: there will still be more cooking time after this, but it’ll be at a different temperature.
When it’s time to remove the turkey from the oven, mix together the butter, rosemary and orange peel strips. Remove the turkey from the oven and increase the temperature to 375 degrees F. Remove the foil and set aside. (Put stuffing in the bird if you wish at this point.) Rub the butter mixture all over the skin of the turkey, getting in the crevices. Insert a meat thermometer into the thigh, near the hip joint. Place the turkey, uncovered, back into the oven. Continue roasting the turkey, basting/brushing with the juices in the pan every 30 minutes until the thermometer registers 165 degrees F and until the juices are no longer pink. This could take another 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours, depending on the size of the bird.
Remove from the oven and cover lightly with foil until you are ready to carve.
My Favorite Turkey Brine:
Combine the water, cider, brown sugar, salt, peppercorns, bay leaves, garlic, orange strips and rosemary leaves in a large pot. Stir until the salt and sugar dissolve. Bring to a boil, and then turn off the heat and cover. Allow to cool completely, and then place into the fridge to chill.
Cook’s Note
This is enough for a 20 pound fresh turkey. You can decrease the quantity for a smaller bird.

Has anyone put chicken stock in the bottom of the roasting pan before covering with the aluminum foil? And if I were to stuff cavity with oranges/lemon/onion/garlic would I do this at this time as well or after the initial 3 1/2 hours baking?

WHY DON'T YOU PUT THE STUFFING IN A LAYER OF CHEESE CLOTH ? NO SCRAPING

Have tried many methods of cooking turkey and this was the best by far.

I followed this recipe and the Turkey was delicious and juicy. We did add more stuff to the brine, and put some aromatics in the butt instead of stuffing. Next time, we will also spread herb butter between the skin and meat instead of just on top. The cooking method and general timing were good. We will make it this way again, with our own special tweaks.

I cook a 20lb bird in 2.5 hrs, unstuffed of course, 6hrs is ridiculous, brined or not that bird will be dryer than a popcorn fart!

I have tried so many different recipes from Alton Brown, Martha Stewart and Barefoot Contessa…and this one is by far the best I have ever made. I have made it every single year for the past four years. It does not disappoint. Truly amazing!

This is the best method I've tried for making turkey. And I've tried them all!! I've used Ree's method for the last four years, minus the orange peel. Excellent!!

I know that it's for a cooking show, but I feel like Ree has never gotten frustrated-let alone uttered a curse word-while in the kitchen.

A pastry brush would work better to smear the butter than your hands. Buttery fingers are difficult to clean.

I can't believe she doesn't remove her jewelry before doing this … but I suppose its because she's on tv.

Most frozen turkeys are brined before packaging. But, I feel like the salt brine is the best part. LOL
