*We recommend that you use a simple
instant- read cooking thermometer.
Willie Bird “free range”
turkeys are raised in Northern California on all natural diet and
are free to roam the oak studded hills of this beautiful area. These
broad breasted turkeys are nationally known for their superior quality,
tenderness and taste.
Your turkey should be brought out of the refrigeration approximately
one to two hours prior to roasting to allow the bird to come up
to room temperature. This will allow a truer cooking time and less
waste of energy in the cooking process.
*We recommend that you purchase a simple instant-read cooking thermometer
(Most large stores carry this item). This will give you the most
accurate read for the best cooking temperature for the bird. Do
not leave the thermometer in the turkey. Or, prick the thigh with
a fork or skewer; the juices should run clear, not pink.
Preheat oven to 375oF. Remove giblets from under neck skin and then
the neck from the cavity the previous day and use as a broth for
your stuffing and gravy. If cooking with out stuffing, season cavity
and outside of the bird with salt and pepper or poultry rub, fill
with a peeled, quartered onion and cut up celery then place the
bird in a large roasting pan with one cup of water or more depending
on size of turkey. If stuffed, fill cavity and under neck skin with
your favorite stuffing. Then truss the turkey by tying the legs
together and place in pan and continue. Brush outside of the bird
with melted butter or cooking oil and place in oven. Reduce temperature
to 325oF after 45 minutes and continue cooking, basting 2-3 times
throughout the cooking process. Cover bird with a tin foil tent
for the last hour.
Ten to fifteen minutes per pound is the recommended roasting time
(If stuffed, add 30 minutes). The temperature check can be done
in the deepest part of the breast (160oF)). Remove from oven and
place on warm platter then allow 15 minutes to finish cooking with
tin foil cover still on, then serve.
