I couldn't decide where to post this, so I'm asking y'all for help/advice. :}
This year I get to do the turkey. I'd like your input on slow cooking turkey in the oven. I'm going to brine turkey in salt and water overnight, rinse and put melted butter all over it. Will add rosemary and thyme leaves. Will probably make stock for the "water in the turkey pan". Stock will be chicken broth, onions, celery, carrots and the leaves.
I'd like to slow cook the turkey at around 235 degrees or so in the oven. I've done it successfully with whole chicken, but never turkey. So, my turkey is 12 pounds butterball turkey.
Any tips, don't do's, please do's or the like? I'm researching this because I'd like my turkey to be a hit. By the way, I'm NOT STUFFING THE BIRD! Yuck
Thanks y'all
