It has been rumored that cooking a turkey upside-down, then flipping it over in the last hour (for crispness and browning) will keep the bird moist throughout. Further, you are supposed to raise the heat substantially in that last hour.

I have never tested that theory, but it does sound plausible.

How about you?

I've never tested it either since I never cook a full bird. Do a practice run with a chicken or something :P

I would, but time seems to be running out and we already cooked Indonesian red curry with shrimp tonight..... :blink:

Skip all the guesswork. Bake your turkey in the normal position placed inside one of those roasting bags.

Moist. Delicious. Yum.

I cooked my first turkey last month for Canadian Thanksgiving. I used a bag and it was awesome- it was moist and delicious. I rubbed it with peanut oil and salt and pepper. So easy.

Either cook it upside down (it does lose it's shape though, it gets kinda flat) or get your hand under that skin and stuff a load of seasoned butter in there (be careful not to rip the skin) ... after all, we aren't concerned about calories until January right?? :dance:

Bumper....Thoughts on the "upside down" cooking method?

Bagging sounds good and we may go there. I am still curious about the other style.

What if you "tie" the bird with string, will that help?

This is what I've always done with roast chickens... I tie mine with string (its called "trussing") and I do the first half upside down, and then flip it over the rest of the time. Don't see why a turkey would be any different!

I do agree those bags do work well also.

Just don't overcook it and you'll have a good bird!

I can't wait to stuff my turkey, upside down, right side up.... :lol:

The SOB likes to lie flat on it's back, sucker tips over on it's stomach, could try baking one side, then the other. Eating the skin is suppose to be bad for you and while it looks cute to carve a turkey at a very formal dining table wearing a tux, it's a pain in the a$$ to do so. Makes one hell of a mess and the rest of the meal gets cold while you are playing around.

German Shepard doesn't even like turkey, can we have roast beef instead? Or how about just carrot sticks? What a way to spend a rare holiday in this country, baking and cooking all day in the kitchen with one hell of a big mess to clean up afterwards.

Took awhile to figure out why I never felt well on Thanksgiving, had an unvented gas range kicking out the same amount of fumes as a central furnace, that's stupid. And after all this indoor pollution #######, the latest gas ranges are still unvented, dumped that killer and got an electric.

Macs and all the other restaurants in town are closed on Thanksgiving, maybe just a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
