Have you ever put bread under the turkey before roasting? The result looks delicious

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, this neat turkey roasting hack is exactly what you need to achieve that superb holiday feast. All you need is a loaf of bread.

With this trick, you are sure to have a juicy and tender bird for your Thanksgiving dinner.

Kitchen Conundrums cook Thomas Joseph shared the secret to attaining the perfect turkey with his technique called “Upside-Down Roasted Turkey.”

Published in 2014 on YouTube, Joseph’s trick has been quite helpful to moms who refuse to have dry and tasteless turkey for the special holiday dinner.

INGREDIENTS

Of course, the first thing you need is a fresh turkey. The components will base on the size of the bird, but for reference, an 18-pound turkey will require one unsliced loaf of bread, one stick of unsalted butter, two tablespoons of salt, two teaspoons of black pepper, and a seasoning mix, which is optional. You will also need a butcher’s twine and a roasting pan.

INSTRUCTIONS

Start by setting up the oven and pre-heating it to 425 ° Fahrenheit.

Then, grab the bread and carefully slice the top hump to keep it level. Afterward, partially slice the bread lengthwise. It should still be connected at the center joint.

The bread will serve as a base and replacement for a steel rack that often damages the turkey.

Following that, mix the salt and pepper. Sprinkle it all over the turkey, both inside and out. You can also add the seasoning mix at this point if you choose.

To position the turkey, fold the neck skin and tuck it under the body. Place the wings under the breasts, as well, and finish off by tying the legs together using the butcher’s twine.

Then, place the turkey on top of the pan, but remember to set it upside-down. Grab the salt and pepper again and sprinkle on the turkey’s inverted side.

Cook the turkey for 90 minutes more, but make sure you baste it every 15 to 20 minutes.

You will know the turkey is perfectly cooked when you place a thermostat into the thickest part of the turkey’s upper leg and the internal temperature shows 165 ° Fahrenheit.

The last step is to let it rest for 30 minutes before serving.

KITCHEN CONUNDRUMS’ SUCCESS

In 2017, the show received a special award equivalent to the Oscars of the food world, according to the Martha Stewart website.

Joseph and producers Samantha Schutz and Greta Anthony received the award of Best Video Webcast during the James Beard Media Awards.

Meanwhile, here are some interesting facts about turkey.

Not a lot of people know that in a letter to his daughter, Ben Franklin proposed that the turkey should be the official bird of the United States.

Also, since 1970, turkey consumption has increased 104% with the average American consuming 16 pounds of turkey as of 2012.
