| I thought I would add a picture of the turkey so everyone could see how it turns out with cheesecloth over the top. For a 29 lb bird it was really moist, sadly the leftover's are long gone. This baby cooked for 7 hours at 300 degree's. At the 6 1/2 hour mark I removed the cheese cloth to give the turkey it's lovely golden brown color. My very rough directions are Turkey Directions. I forgot to mention I remove the cheese cloth a 1/2 hour before the turkey is done in the previous post. I will have to up date it.. I really didn't have any other photo's as I was so busy cooking and visiting. I feel pretty lucky my Hubby snap a photo of the turkey! |
Good old Mr. turkey all bundled up with his butter rub and his cheese cloth soaked in wine, broth and butter to keep him nice and moist. I basted every 20 minutes and removed the cheese cloth 1/2 before turkey was scheduled to be done. Enjoy!
What a gorgeous bird!!! I need to go up a few pounds next year...but maybe not to 29#...wow! I'd love to try your cheesecloth method.
ReplyDeleteWhat a BEAUTIFUL turkey!!
ReplyDeleteYour turkey looks gorgeous. I was wondering when I read the other post how is browned - makes total sense to remove it a little bit before being done.
