#3. Classic Roasted Turkey

Turns out, there's no historical indication that the original Thanksgiving meal (at Plymouth colony) centered around the turkey. However, by the turn of the 19th century, turkey became a popular dish to serve on special occasions for a few reasons: 1) There was no shortage of turkeys. Some estimate there were at least 10 million turkeys in America at the time. 2) A single turkey was typically big enough to feed an entire family. 3) Turkeys on a family farm were nearly always available to slaughter, unlike cows and hens (producing milk and eggs throughout their lives). This Classic Roasted Turkey is perfect! It's simple, flavorful, juicy, and is sure to please those around your table.

Everyone has their preferred method of cooking the turkey on Turkey Day. Oven Bag Turkey is a new way to try, especially if you love your turkey perfectly moist and tender. Using an oven bag helps to both roast and steam the turkey, ensuring moisture doesn't escape as the bird cooks to a beautiful golden brown. Rubbing butter under the skin and on top of the turkey infuses each bite with extra richness, as does the tangy, smoky, sweet maple syrup mix poured on top. Oven Bag Turkey might just become your favorite way to prepare the star of the table on Thanksgiving!
