Cook Turkey in Oven Bag Time
No basting. That is a complete sentence. You can sit on the couch, watch a movie, or take a nap. The bag does the basting for you. The steam cycles around the bird, keeping the breast meat from turning into sand and the dark meat perfectly tender. It’s like having a tiny, self-basting robot in your oven.
No mess. Remember that annual stress-fest of scrubbing the roasting pan? Gone. The bag catches all the drips, so your pan stays clean. You just toss the bag (after it cools, please!) and your cleanup is five seconds long. That’s more time for dessert.
Perfect golden skin. I know some folks worry about soggy skin. Here’s a little trick: open the bag for the last 15 to 20 minutes. Crank the heat up a bit if you want. That burst of dry heat gives you that gorgeous, golden-brown crackle without drying out the meat. It’s the best of both worlds.
