DIRECTIONS

  1. Thaw and prep the turkey. Make sure the turkey is completely thawed the day of roasting. Remove the neck and giblets and liberally salt the turkey. Stuff the turkey with an onion, an apple, and some fresh herbs if you’d like, but these are purely for the way they perfume the kitchen while roasting.

  2. Flip upside-down on a roasting rack. Place the turkey breast-side down in a roasting rack. Place the rack in a roasting pan.

  3. Roast the turkey. Start the turkey in a hot oven, 400°F, for 30 minutes to encourage browning, then lower the temperature to 325°F for the duration of the cooking time.Plan on 13 minutes of roasting for every pound of turkey.

  4. Take the turkey’s temperature. Use an instant-read thermometer to check the turkey’s temperature in both the breast and the thigh. (Make sure to avoid touching the bone.) When the thermometer hits 157°F, take the turkey out of the oven.

  5. Rest the turkey. Rest the turkey for 20 to 25 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

  6. Broil. Just before carving, flip the turkey breast-side up and broil to crisp and brown the skin.
