Notes
Always thaw turkey completely first. Frozen meat cooks unevenly.
Do not lift the lid during cooking. You lose heat.
Use a meat thermometer. Trust the temp, not the timer.
For crispy skin, broil for 5 minutes after cooking.
Can use boneless turkey breast; adjust cooking time down by 1 hour.
Store leftovers in airtight container; refrigerate up to 4 days or freeze up to 3 months.
