A Picture-Perfect Turkey

 
The first step to roasting a picture-perfect turkey, say the experts, is to start with a quality roaster. Here are some tips to help you choose one:

? Avoid flimsy disposable pans. Instead, choose a heavyweight roaster with strong handles.

? Dark-colored roasters absorb the oven's energy and evenly distribute it.

? Porcelain-on-steel roasters provide an even heat distribution for uniformly cooked, beautiful turkeys. Most hardware and retail stores carry a line of speckled porcelain-on-steel roasters called Granite Ware.

? Roast your turkey at a constant 325' to 350' F. A 16 to 24 pound turkey takes approximately 12 to 15 minutes per pound.

? Add water or broth to the pan to baste with and to keep the meat moist. Baste every 30 minutes.

? Use a meat thermometer to insure thorough cooking. The deepest portion of the breast shold read 170' F, the thigh, 180' F.

? Once finished, let the bird rest for about half an hour so the juices settle before carving.

Choose a heavy roaster that is designed to accommodate the weight of a turkey.
