Why do people make it so difficult? Turkey’s the easiest and most fool proof food to cook. Put it in the oven at the degrees listed; stick in a digital thermometer with an alarm; and read about ways to keep a turkey moist when it finishes an hour early and the kids are an hour late. Different ways to baste and cook besides that are just fun stuff to keep it interesting.
At first I thought she should know how long from cooking one on Thanksgiving then bonk, bonk, bonk, Brits do not celebrate Thanksgiving, DUH! Merry Christmas to all.
Remove guts and do not stuff, put in roaster at 300F, sprinkle with dried onion soup mix, remove about 3 hours later. No basting, no fuss. No crispy skin, but that hardly matters.
I was going to make roast goose at some point this winter but got discouraged with the instructions, much as above. Instead I did turkey parts (breast, thighs, legs): seared, then braised on a bed of seared onion, celery and seasoning in my slow cooker for several hours. YUM!
Growing up in Los Angeles, I was accustomed to a gas range. Having moved to South Carolina (my birthplace) it’s predominantly electric here. To complicate things, I’m planning to move to Pennsylvania for retirement…where they have both! I remember watching “Are You Being Served?” & they often talked about their ovens using Regulo settings!

The timer on your cell phone will make life so much easier.

Merry Christmas … and good luck! I always did hate trying to do backwards math.

I agree Fred, way too complicated. Merry Christmas to you and the Dears

Interesting… Has marks instead of temperature. Cultural difference I guess.

A lot of leftovers for Fred! Same for our dog.

Fill the cavity with onions, celery, apples, and oranges. It will keep the turkey fall off the bone moist and well flavored.
