Keep refrigerated. 1. Storing: Fresh turkey should be refrigerated at 35 degrees F- 40 degrees F. The lower temperature is preferred. Cook as soon as possible (no later than the use by date) to ensure maximum freshness. If you are not confident about the temperature of your refrigerator, cook or freeze the Turkey within 4 days of purchase. 2. Prepare: 1) Remove packaging: Remove turkey from wrapper. Take out the neck and giblets from the two body cavities. Drain juices and pat turkey with paper towels. 2) Stuff Turkey - if desired. Stuff turkey just before roasting. Lightly fill neck cavity; turn wings back to hold neck skin in place. Stuff body cavity and lightly return legs to tucked position. No trussing is necessary. 3. Roast: 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. 2. Place turkey, breast side up, on flat roasting rack in 2" deep open roasting pan. Do not add water to pan. Do not cover turkey or pan. 4. Brush or spray skin with vegetable oil. 5. Roast according to time guidelines above.* 6. To prevent overcooking, loosely cover breast with lightweight foil when about two-thirds done. 7. To check for doneness, temperature on a meat thermometer should be 170 degrees F breast/180 degrees F thigh. If the turkey is stuffed move thermometer to center of stuffing; temperature should be 165 degrees F. ** Double check temperature for food safety. 8. Let turkey stand 15 minutes before carving. **Note: when he thigh muscle is pierced deeply with a fork, juices should be clear and no longer reddish pink. Meat thermometer directions: Thermometer tip should be placed in high (not drumstick), not touching bone. Position tip to be pointing towards (not in) body cavity, 170 degrees F in breast, 180 degrees F in thigh, 165 degrees F in stuffing. Re-insert thermometer to double check temperature for food safety, (for oven-safe thermometer). Carving directions: 1. Remove drumstick: Cut entire leg off by holding drumstick and cutting through skin all the way to the joint. Remove by pulling out and back using point of knife to disjoint it. Separate thigh and drumstick at joint. 2. Horizontal cut: Insert fork in upper wing to steady turkey. Make a long horizontal cut above wing joint through to body frame. 3.
