Free up the oven for side dishes and make your roast turkey in a roaster oven! We give tips for the juiciest turkey recipe with fresh herb butter...and how to get that golden brown skin on your turkey.

Roast Turkey in an Electric Roaster

turkey

salted butter

freshly snipped thyme, rosemary and sage

salt

black pepper

Mix together 1/2 cup softened butter (1 stick) with the freshly snipped herbs. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, but remove from the fridge 1 hour before using so that it is soft enough to spread. (Or you can microwave to soften the herb butter).

Make the herb butter:

Set the roaster oven (with the lid on) to the highest temperature setting it will go.

Remove the neck and giblets from the turkey cavity. (Throw them away or set them aside for gravy.)

Take paper towels and dry off your turkey.

Take your hand and loosen the skin over the turkey breast. Rub half of the butter underneath the skin of the breast.

Rub the other half of the butter over the outside of the bird.

Sprinkle the outside of the bird with salt and pepper.

Put 1/4 cup butter in the cavity of the turkey along with 1 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.

Place the turkey in the preheated roaster and cook at the highest temperature for 30 minutes.

Without opening the lid, turn down the temperature to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and roast until the turkey tests done (at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit in the thickest part of the thigh).

The exact timing will depend on whether the turkey is stuffed or unstuffed and how large the turkey is. Plan for about 15 minutes per pound for an unstuffed turkey.

Prepare the turkey:

This Sweet Dinner Rolls Recipe makes soft &amp; fluffy rolls that are so easy to make from scratch! Baking with yeast can be easy, and this dinner roll recipe will be one that you will make time and time again.

Sweet Dinner Rolls

2 1/4 – 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

(2-1/4 tsp.) packet Fleischmann’s® RapidRise® Yeast

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 cup milk (whole, 2%, 1%

1/4 cup water

butter

cup honey

honey

Combine 1 cup flour, dry yeast and salt in bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and stir until blended. Combine milk, water, butter, and honey in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second increments until very warm but not hot to the touch (120°F &#8211; 130°F). Add to flour mixture.

Mix for 2 minutes on medium speed, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed. Add in 1/2 cup more flour mix for 2 more minutes on high speed. Stir in just enough of the remaining flour (3/4 to 1 cup) so that the dough will form into a ball.

Replace the paddle attachment for the dough hook attachment and mix on medium speed for 6-8 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic and springs back when lightly pressed with 2 fingers. Alternately you can do this step by hand, kneading the dough on a lightly floured surface for 6-8 minutes. Cover with a towel and let rest for 10 minutes.

Cut the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape into balls using your hands. Place in greased 8-inch round or square pan. Cover the rolls with a towel and let them rise in a warm place, until they&#8217;re doubled in size, about 30 minutes.

Bake rolls in preheated 375ºF oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

For the topping combine the butter and honey in a microwave safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds until butter is melted. Mix together and brush the melted honey butter on warm rolls.
