Читать книгу Talk Turkey to Me - Renee S. Ferguson - Страница 21

Everyone has a first time. But regardless of how you plan to cook your turkey, there are steps to follow. These are:

•Remove the wrapping from the turkey.

•Drain the turkey over the sink and check both of its cavities. One holds the neck and the other the bag of giblets. Remove these and either reserve them for use in your recipes or discard them. Some people like to cook them for either themselves or their pet—it’s up to you!

•Blot the exterior of the turkey dry with paper towels.

•Stuff the turkey if desired.

•Bend the wings behind the back of the turkey (optional). This is a sexy little move meant to hold the neck skin in place, but it’s not really necessary.

•Brush or spritz the turkey with oil, and season if desired.

•Insert an oven-safe meat thermometer into the turkey.
