Apple-Infused Roast Turkey

Preheat your oven to the optimal temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or 175 degrees Celsius.

Rinse your turkey thoroughly under cold water, then gently pat it dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Next, carefully pry apart the turkey's breast skin, taking care not to tear it, and insert small morsels of butter between the skin and breast. This will add a rich and indulgent flavor to your dish.

Add sliced apples to the turkey's cavity, creating a fragrant and aromatic mixture that will infuse your meal with flavor. Sprinkle a pinch of garlic powder, salt, and pepper over the apples to enhance their natural flavors.

Place your turkey in a roasting bag, pouring Champagne over both the inside and outside of the bird to create a moist and flavorful environment. Close the bag, then position your turkey in a roasting pan to allow for even cooking.

Bake your turkey in the preheated oven for 3 to 3 1/2 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 180 degrees Fahrenheit in the thickest part of the thigh. This will ensure that your turkey is cooked to perfection.

Remove your turkey from the roasting bag, allowing it to rest for at least 20 minutes before carving. This will enable the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful final product.
