Easy Turkey Roast in a Bag
Ingredients
  • 1 (12 pound) whole turkey
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 5 stalks celery, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 large onions, quartered
  • 1 large turkey bag
Instructions
1
Collect and prepare all necessary components.
2
Preheat the oven to a high temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
3
Take out and discard any unwanted parts from the turkey.
4
Rinse the turkey thoroughly under cold water, then gently pat it dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
5
Sprinkle both sides of the turkey with a generous amount of salt and pepper to enhance flavor.
6
Dust the bottom of the turkey bag with a light layer of flour to prevent sticking.
7
Carefully place the turkey inside the bag, along with some chopped celery and onions for added flavor.
8
Seal the bag securely by twisting or taping it, then transfer it to a roasting pan.
9
Make several small holes in the bag using a fork to allow steam to escape during cooking.
10
Place the sealed turkey bag into the preheated oven and continue baking until it reaches a safe internal temperature of 180 degrees Fahrenheit (85 degrees Celsius), indicated by an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thigh meat. This process typically takes around 3 to 3 1/2 hours, or until the turkey is fully cooked and the juices run clear.
