Have A Happy
“Friendsgiving”
(NAPSI)—Can’t make it home
for the holidays? Consider
hosting a Fun “Friendsgiving”
day with colleagues, dorm
mates, neighbors and pals.
Luckily, it can be easy to
do—even in small apartments,
offices or college kitchens.
Don’t worry about a lot of extra
equipment. It’s easy to roast a
turkey in a Reynolds Oven Bag.
Reynolds also makes disposable
Bakeware that makes cooking
and transporting a cinch. It’s
made with heavy-duty
aluminum, so don’t sweat a big
mess. And the bright-blue
exterior is stylish enough for
serving.
You can see how well they work
with this recipe:
Herb-Roasted Turkey
1 Reynolds Oven Bag, Turkey
Size
1 tablespoon flour
2 stalks celery
1 medium onion
1 8- to 24-pound turkey, fresh or
thawed
2 tablespoons vegetable oil or
melted butter
1 tablespoon dried sage
1 teaspoon each dried thyme,
basil, rosemary, paprika and
seasoned salt
½ teaspoon pepper
Preheat oven to 350° F. Shake
flour in Reynolds Oven Bag;
place in large roasting pan at
least 2 inches deep. Spray inside
of bag with nonstick cooking
spray, if desired, to reduce
sticking with large turkeys. Add
vegetables to oven bag. Remove
neck and giblets from turkey.
Rinse turkey, pat dry and brush
with oil. Combine seasonings in
a small bowl; sprinkle and rub
evenly over turkey. Place turkey
in oven bag on top of
vegetables. Close oven bag with
nylon tie; cut six ½-inch slits in
top. Insert meat thermometer
through slit in bag into thickest
part of inner thigh not touching
the bone. Tuck ends of bag in
pan. Bake 1½ to 2 hours for
8- 12-pound turkeys; 2 to 2½
hours for 12- 16-pound turkeys;
2½ to 3 hours for 16- 20-pound
turkeys; 3 to 3½ hours for
20- 24-pound turkeys or until
meat thermometer reads 180° F.
For lightly stuffed turkeys, add
½ hour to bake time. Let stand
in oven bag 15 minutes. Cut
open top of bag. Use two
carving forks, inserting one in
each end, to lift turkey from bag.
Be sure the turkey is completely
thawed before starting to cook
it. Depending on the size of the
bird, this may take several days
in the refrigerator.
