This recipe guides you to prepare a perfectly roasted turkey using an electric roaster oven, ensuring a moist and flavorful result.
Preheat your electric roaster oven to its highest setting, typically 450°F or 500°F.
Preheating ensures the turkey starts cooking immediately, helping to seal in the juices.
Prepare the turkey by patting it dry with paper towels. Do not wash it to avoid spreading bacteria.
Drying the turkey helps the skin crisp up during roasting.
Rub the turkey all over with olive oil and season generously with seasoning salt, poultry seasoning, and black pepper.
Ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Place the turkey on the rack inside the roaster oven insert pan. Avoid adding water to the pan.
Using a rack prevents the turkey from sitting in its juices, allowing for even cooking.
Roast the turkey at the highest setting for 30 minutes to brown the skin.
This initial high heat helps achieve a beautifully browned and crispy skin.
Reduce the temperature to 325°F and continue roasting until the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 165°F in the breast and 180°F in the thigh.
Using a meat thermometer ensures the turkey is cooked safely and perfectly.
Once done, remove the turkey from the oven, tent it with foil, and let it rest for 20 minutes before carving.
Resting the turkey allows the juices to redistribute, making the meat tender and juicy.
