Ingredients
- 12 lb Jennie-O Oven Ready Whole Turkey
- 2 jalapeños minced
- 12 oz fresh cranberries
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tsp lime zest
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Remove the frozen turkey from the outer package, but NOT from the cooking bag.
- Place the turkey in a roasting pan with at least 2 inch sides.
- Cut six ½ inch slits in the top of the cooking bag, and pull the bag away from the turkey.
- Place the turkey in the oven with enough room above and on the sides for the bag to expand.
- Roast the turkey until a thermometer reaches 165°F in the breast of the turkey, between 3 hours & 30 minutes – 4 hours.
- Begin checking the temperature after 3 hours as the temperature can rise quickly during the last hour of cooking.
- Remove from the oven and set aside to rest for 15 minutes.
- While the turkey is resting, prepare the Cranberry Jalapeno Relish.
- Add all of the ingredients to a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Once the cranberries begin to burst, turn the heat off and mash the cranberries.
- The relish can be served immediately or placed in the refrigerator and served cold.
- Once the turkey has rested for 15 minutes, cut the top of the oven bag open.
- Remove the turkey from the bag and slice.
