Roast Turkey From Frozen
Description
Roast Turkey From Frozen outlines a practical way to cook a large turkey starting from its frozen state. Remove packaging and place the solid frozen bird on a roasting rack in a 325-degree oven for two hours to begin thawing. After that, remove any giblets and season the turkey with kosher salt and coarse black pepper, then rub unsalted butter over the surface to aid browning and add moisture. Return the turkey to the oven for an additional 2 to 2½ hours, roasting until the thickest part of the thigh reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit for safe doneness. If the skin starts to brown too quickly, tenting with foil can prevent burning. Once done, the bird rests for 20 minutes tented with foil to allow juices to redistribute, resulting in a juicier roast ready for carving.
