Hi, I'm Chef Lindsay from HelloFresh! And I'm Chef Melissa, and today we're here to show you how to make the perfect turkey! Tip #1: The first thing you'll want to do is thaw the bird completely Place it in a sided baking sheet or in a bowl in your refrigerator
For every 4 lbs of turkey, it takes about 1 day to defrost Ti[p #2: Completely dry the bird The best way to do this is with paper towels Completely dry the outside and also the inside of the turkey This will create extra crispy skin when roasting
Tip #3: Tuck the wings Press the wings underneath the bird They'll lock right into place And you do this to make sure they get nice and crispy Tip #4: DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN! Do everything you can to keep it closed
Otherwise, the temperature drops drastically And it will take a lot longer to cook, and your family will be hangry Step 5: Let the turkey rest Once your bird has reached 165 degrees, you'll want to remove it from the oven and allow it to rest for 30 minutes before carving to allow the juices to redistribute And then you can get cozy with a glass of wine
Cheers! *CLINK!* So there you have it, you're turkey experts Have fun and get cooking!
