baked turkey

Tender meat and crispy skin, a turkey leg slow-cooked in the oven, I can't think of a tastier and easier way of cooking turkey.

Quarter the onions and chop all the vegetables into large pieces. Peel but leave the garlic cloves whole. Place them and the bay leaves in the pot around the turkey leg. Pour in the chicken stock, taking care not to wash away the mustard. Just pour around the leg.

Easy Baked Turkey Wings

turkey wings (Whole

olive oil (Use enough to coat each wing.)

poultry seasoning

thyme

oregano

garlic powder

smoked paprika

salt and pepper

chicken broth

foil

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Place the sliced onions into the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.

Pat the wings dry. Place the wings in the dish and drizzle both sides of the wings olive oil and then sprinkle the spices onto both sides of the wings. Be sure to use enough spices to cover the skin of both sides of the wings. Add additional as necessary to prevent bland wings.

Rub the spices into the wings.

Pour the broth along the edges of the baking dish, avoid pouring it directly onto the wings (which will remove the spices).

Cover the dish with foil and bake for an hour and a half.

Remove the foil and allow the wings to bake for an additional 20-30 minutes or until the skin is crisp. You can test if the wings have finished cooking by using a meat thermometer. Test the thickest part of the wing and ensure the turkey has reached a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees. See notes for how to make wings with really crispy skin.

Cool before serving.

Turkey Wings

This Perfect Roast Turkey from Gordon Ramsay ensures a juicy, flavorful bird with herby butter, lemon, and garlic, wrapped in smoky bacon.

Perfect Roast Turkey

free-range Turkey (about 5 kg), the main ingredient

Onions (peeled, halved),

rashers of Smoked Streaky Bacon, to wrap around the turkey

Lemon

Garlic (halved horizontally),

Leaves,

Olive Oil (to drizzle),

Sea Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper, to season.

½ Cups (375 g) Butter (room temperature),

Garlic (peeled, crushed),

Lemons

Olive Oil, to enhance the butter's smoothness.

Make The Herb Butter

In a large bowl, combine butter with salt, pepper, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, parsley, and crushed garlic. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.

Prep The Turkey

Season the turkey cavity with salt and pepper. Stuff with onions, lemon, garlic, and bay leaves for an aromatic stuffing. Loosen the skin of the turkey and stuff the butter mixture underneath, spreading it evenly across the meat. Drizzle olive oil over the skin and rub in to ensure a golden, crisp finish.

Roast The Turkey

Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F). Roast the turkey for 10-15 minutes at high heat to brown the skin, then reduce the temperature to 180°C (350°F). Roast for 2 ½ hours, basting every 30 minutes to ensure the meat stays moist. If the turkey is not fully cooked after 2 ½ hours, cook for an additional 15 minutes.

Rest And Serve

Once cooked, remove the turkey from the oven and let it rest for 45 minutes before carving. Serve with gravy, stuffing, and cranberry sauce.
