The turkey that you cook is driven by the size of your oven. And there are temperature probe in every turkey you buy at the store nowadays.
Before we give the recipe for our glaze, we'll give you a couple tips right here.
Turkeys are typically deep-frozen below 0F. A 10 lb bird will take at least two days to fully thaw in a refrigerator, which is how you thaw a big bird. We don't mess with the turkey too much. You can always make gravy or sauce to redress. Getting it cooked through is the most important thing.
Moderating and prioritizing oven space during thanksgiving dinner is the second most important thing in our opinion. Most fall / winter dishes are typically associated with oven cooking. The rest of our recipes break this up and give you alternative cooking methods, however, there is only one major way to cook a turkey and that's in the oven.
The third and last thing that we want to recommend is to thing about the carving and the plating ahead of time. Make a bed with herbs and garnish with larger leaves of herbs and fruits. It'll make a grand presentation.
