Step 1

For Frozen Turkey, Thaw it out 2 - 3 days before. After thawed remove giblets and other packaging from turkey. Check both cavities.

Step 4

Rinse turkey and pat dry, make sure water is out of cavity. Needs to be dried real good.

Step 6

Rub Skin with Salt and Pepper Mixture. Give your turkey a massage lol.

Step 8

Drizzle Melted butter over turkey, including under skin.

Step 10

Put in a plain paper sack without any writing or ink on it.

Step 12

Pinch bag together at the end , leaving a small vent hole (the size of a small apple).

Step 14

Put turkey and bag into a large roaster, with enough room to have some space around the bag.

Step 17

Cook as directed on the wrapping of the Turkey (depends on pounds). General rule is 350 degree oven, at 20 min per lb.

Step 19

Remove from oven once internal temp reaches 165 at thickest of the turkey, and at bone.

Step 21

Remove from oven and let rest 30 min- 1 hour in the bag.

Step 23

Please note the bag can sometimes stick to the bottom of the turkey. To remove turkey, try putting melted butter on the bottom of the bag where the turkey sits.

Step 25

This will be the juiciest turkey ever.

Step 27

Note: For liability reasons I have to say to use caution when using this method and we are not responsible for any accidents that may occur. My grandma has been using this method for over 30 years. I do not recommend any paper bag for a gas oven. Use oven bag in lieu of paper bag if preferred.
