I cooked my first turkey last year for the first annual Derda Thanksgiving. Thanks to suggestions from several friends (thanks Tracy & Karen!) - I combined a few ideas and came up with this....
Turkey
Reynolds cooking bag
4-7 cloves of garlic
bunches of fresh herbs - rosemary, thyme, parsley, sage (meijer has a poultry packet in their fresh herb section that is perfect)
One Beer (i used light beer, like Bud Light)
olive oil
salt & pepper
Let the Turkey thaw completely. Remove the "innards" from the turkey. cut the ends of several cloves of garlic & place inside turkey. Take a bundle of the fresh herbs & stuff inside turkey. Lightly coat outside of turkey with olive oil & sprinkle with salt & pepper - place turkey inside bag - BREAST SIDE DOWN. Dump beer in turkey cavity - tie up bag & cook as directed on cooking bag instructions. Remove from oven after specified time & let sit for 30 minutes before carving.
I promise...this will be the MOST TENDER & juicy turkey you have ever had!!!!
