How to cook a perfect Turkey?


How to cook a perfect Turkey?
Be it Thanksgiving, Christmas or just a small family gathering, a perfectly seasoned turkey can always be a mouth-watering dish for the main course. Very few people know that the traditional Christmas bird, turkey, has all the nutritional benefits of chicken but with a moderately lower fat content. Do you want to make a juicy, tender and golden turkey with crispy skin, with lots of flavours and perfectly seared steak? Then here’s an easy Turkey recipe for you.
Step-1
Shopping is the first step that you need to opt for at least five days before. You can always buy a fresh whole turkey but the thumb rule is to buy 1 pound of turkey per plate or per person. You can buy a frozen or fresh turkey as per your convenience and don’t forget to shop or other ingredients like sweet potato, corn casserole, easy stuffing, and green bean casserole while you go for shopping
Step-2
The next step is to thaw your turkey in the fridge or cold water. While cooking fresh turkey plan ahead because this process needs time. 
Step-3
If you want equally flavourful and tender dark and white meat, then brining is a great option. You should keep at least 24 hours in hand with a solution of kosher salt, herbs, water and citrus in which you can soak your turkey in. 
Step-4
Post brining you need to rub your secret herbs and butter between the skin and the meat which will make the skin crispy and your turkey delicious with a package of flavours. 
Step-5
Fill the bird cavity and roast for at least 30 minutes in your pre-heated oven at 500 degrees Fahrenheit. 
Step-6
Turn your oven down to 350 degrees and after 15-20 minutes remove the turkey from the oven. Take a piece of foil and foil hat while folding it over the breast of the bird. Let it cook for 161-165 degrees Fahrenheit. 
Step-7
After 30 minutes pull the beautifully golden brown turkey out of the oven and you are all set for your perfect Thanksgiving or Christmas meal. Also, make sure to wrap Turkey in an aluminium foil so that it doesn’t get cold.
