If Turkey has never had a Thanksgiving dinner, but was dry and mild, then this article may help you understand why. Sometimes it is simply used to the taste, but often it's down to how Turkey has been cooked – or was not adequately watered, or often enough, or was baked at the wrong temperature.
Some people mistakenly cook a turkey at a temperature too high, and keeps them in too long – you can leave a Turkey that is very dry andwell cooked. Although this is a taste less than ideal, is better than the alternative – a cooked turkey and food poisoning.
The right way to cook a turkey
In general, turkeys should be cooked to 325 degrees. Preheat the oven to try to keep It All Away – especially for curious children who may be inclined to play with the knobs on! Not groped to open the oven door when it's time to baste the turkey, as this allows the heat and slow cookingTrial.
You can rely on the directions of cooking to get an idea of how long should turkey to cook, but if you're a meat thermometer so much better. Plug it into the deepest part of Turkey to monitor the temperature. A turkey is fully cooked when the meat thermometer reads 165 degrees. If it's anything less than this, put Turkey back a bit 'longer, as you might point your guests food poisoning if a turkey is cooked, and food poisoningdefinitely not fun!
