Perfect roast turkey recipe..

[backcountry mounty]

This will be the first year that I have been able to cook a turkey for my family at the house in a while. I am using this recipe. It's super easy and works great. Christopher Kimball recipe.

20 lb turkey
1/2 cup buttermilk powder
1/4 cup kosher salt
1/4 cup fine grind black pepper
Equal parts quality maple syrup and Quality Soy

Pat bird dry. Combine buttermilk powder , salt and pepper. Dry brine (rub) entire bird with buttermilk powder mixture. Good coverage but not so heavy that it cakes. Let brine for 1.5 to 2 hours.

In a roasting pan or a sheet tray with a rack, place in oven at 350 degrees. After 1.5 hours rotate bird 180 degrees and glaze with syrup- soy mixture. If bird is getting too dark turn oven down to 325 degrees or 300 degrees.

Glaze a second time after 3 hours. Roast until turkey reaches internal temp of 170 degrees in thigh and breast. Should be a 4 or 4.5 hour cook.

This is the simplest and best recipe I have come across. Best looking bird I have ever seen.

Try it out if you need a recipe.

Buttermilk powder? You could have given me 20 years of guesses and that would not have been on my list.

I'm going to try something new on Friday. Basically, it's biscuits wrapped around turkey, stuffing, and cranberry. I'll leave cranberry out for peopel like myself who don't like it. I'm trying to decide if the biscuits would hold up with a spoonful of gravy inside, otherwise you dip them.

Great. Anything to change it up. Yeah I'd leave cranberry out. Needs to be savory. I'd dip them rather than putting something wet on dough before cooking.

That buttermilk powder thing blew my mind. That stuff is right there with the pancakes at the grocery store. Most beautiful turkey, Ive ever roasted and I've cooked a million. Totally roasted.

Soy sauce?

I'm telling ya. You don't taste it. Just browns the bird up right.
