Instructions

Preheat the electric roaster to 450 degrees F.
Take the bird out of its wrapping and rinse it in the sink. Use paper towels to dry it off, and then remove the neck and giblets from the body cavity. You can use the giblets for homemade gravy or discard them.
Put it on the roaster oven rack. Brush it with melted butter all over.
Browning sauce will make your turkey a richer golden brown but doesn't change the taste. If you are using it, brush it over the bird now. Then sprinkle on the poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper.
If desired, add some fresh orange or apple slices to the body cavity. This adds some extra flavor. I do not recommend putting stuffing inside the body cavity.
Put the lid on the roaster oven and cook at 450 degrees F for 30 minutes. This helps make the turkey skin brown and crispy.
Without lifting the lid, reduce the heat to 350 degrees F. Roast it for the remainder of the cooking time. Allow about 15-20 minutes per pound for cooking time.
Do not just rely on suggested cooking time; always check the temperature with a thermometer. The size of the turkey and whether it was previously frozen or brined can affect the cooking time. At least half an hour before you expect it to be done, check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer.
The meat has to reach 165 degrees F for food safety. Check the temperature in the thigh and the breast.
Lift it out of the pan using the rack when it is done. Cover it with foil and let it rest for 20 minutes before carving and serving.

Notes

Make sure the turkey is thawed completely. Check out this resource for thawing instructions.
Brining will make it taste even better. Check out my apple cider turkey brine for directions.
Know the size of your electric roaster before you go grocery shopping, or you might end up with a turkey that doesn't fit.
Keep the lid on the roaster as much as possible. Lift it briefly to check the temperature.
