Ingredients

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Shake flour inside the Reynolds Kitchens® Oven Bag and place in a large roasting pan that is at least 2 inches deep. You can opt to spray the inside of bag with nonstick cooking spray if you desire.

Place onion wedges in the bottom of the bag.

Remove neck and giblets from turkey, then rinse and pat your turkey dry. Brush with your 2 Tbs of oil or melted butter.

In a small bowl, combine all seasonings and rub into the entire turkey.

Carefully slide turkey into the oven bag, making sure the opening of the bag is facing the end of the roasting pan, and not facing up. The bag should be inside the pan, not hanging over the edges of the pan.

Close oven bag with the included nylon tie, and cut six 1/2 inch slits in the top of the bag.

Baking time varies depending on the size of your turkey. You can refer to the Oven Bag directions or use the reference above.

When your turkey reaches an internal temperature of 180°F in thickest part of the thigh, not touching the bone, remove from oven and let stand in oven bag for another 15 minutes. Cut open the top of the bag and carefully remove turkey from the bag, and place onto a cutting board. Lifting works well by inserting one carving fork into each end of the turkey.
