You know the holidays are coming up, but you don’t want to risk your family’s health by cooking a turkey in your oven.

You think about buying an electric roaster and then you remember that they’re designed for large birds not small ones like turkeys.

You can still cook a tasty bird without risking foodborne illness with these tips!

This blog post will teach you how to cook a whole turkey breast using an electric roaster. In this article, I’ll show you how to do it step-by-step so that even the most novice of cooks can make their own Thanksgiving dinner!

Things You’ll Need:

* 1 whole turkey, thawed out

* Butter or margarine (optional)

*1-1/2 teaspoons salt, divided

* 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper and 1/2 teaspoon paprika

* 3 tablespoons garlic powder

* to taste, celery seed

* 2 tablespoons garlic powder

Step 1 :

Preheat the roaster to 325 degrees.

Rinse turkey, pat dry and rub inside cavity with salt, pepper, paprika, and 1 tablespoon garlic powder.

Add celery seed for a few seconds.

Place in roaster and fill roaster with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the turkey (about 2 cups).

Step 2 :

Sprinkle turkey with garlic powder, cover, and cook for 2-1/2 hours.

Remove cover and continue to bake until done about 1 hour.

*If desired, baste with butter or margarine a few times during cooking.

Step 3 :

Remove turkey from roaster; let stand for 10 minutes before carving. Enjoy!

How do you make herb butter for turkey?

– 9 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (make sure it’s not melted)

* 1 tablespoon kosher salt

* 2 teaspoons ground black pepper

Step 1 : 

Place all the ingredients in a food processor fitted with a metal blade and process until smooth. Put this mixture in a bowl, preferably with a rubber spatula so you can lick it. If you don’t have a food processor, use an electric mixer instead and beat until light and fluffy.

Step 2 :

When you are done with the butter, place the mixture on top of aluminum foil or wax paper in the shape of a log. Roll it up so that butter is inside like a pinwheel when you’re done wrapping. Refrigerate this for at least one hour, or until hard.

Step 3 : 

Before you serve the turkey, cut the herb butter into 1″ slices. Place each slice over a turkey medallion and let it melt down before serving to your guests!

How do you prepare a turkey before roasting?

For the best turkey, you should take a few minutes to prepare it before roasting.

Remove the neck and giblets from the turkey’s cavity. Discard or save the livers for another use. Remove excess fat from around the neck opening and discard, along with any organs in front of the wings- this is where toxins are stored in the bird. Rinse the turkey inside and out with cold water, then pat dry with paper towels.

How long and at what temperature to roast a turkey?

The oven should be pre-heated to 325 degrees for 30 minutes before cooking starts. Pull or poke the legs of the turkey’s skin with tongs. If the clear liquid runs out, the internal temperature is about right (165 degrees Fahrenheit). If the cloudy liquid runs out, remove the turkey from heat and let it rest for additional 15 minutes.

How do you get at turkey golden brown in an electric roaster?

Step 1 :

Prepare the bird for roasting, making sure you remove all the giblets and any large clumps of fat from around the neck opening.

Step 2 :

Use a bulb baster to brush melted butter over the turkey’s entire body- be generous! If you don’t have a bulb baster, you can use a large spoon or any other tool. Sprinkle with salt and pepper- this is when you can add poultry seasoning if you wish!

Step 3 :

Cover turkey loosely with foil. Place the turkey in the oven for one hour, then remove foil. If your lid isn’t tight-fitting, add a little water to the bottom of the roasting pan.

Step 4 :

Continue cooking until a thermometer in the thickest part of the thigh reads 165 degrees Fahrenheit- this takes about 3 1/2 to 4 hours, depending on your turkey.

Does an electric roaster cook faster than an oven?

An electric roaster is designed to heat up faster than a traditional oven. Many models include a rack and a drip tray for easier cleanup, but you do need more space in your cabinets or pantry.

How do I keep my turkey moist?

The best way to keep your turkey moist is to cook it in a moist environment. You can achieve this by tightly covering the bird either with aluminum foil or with the roasting lid so that steam builds up in the oven and has nowhere to go.

Conclusion

Cooking a turkey can be complicated, but if you follow these basic roasting tips, it will make your Thanksgiving much more enjoyable! Using an electric deep fryer is a great way to cook your Thanksgiving feast. They are fast and reliable, and they can accommodate large batches of food at once!
