If the thought of cooking a whole turkey makes you nervous—don’t worry. You’re not alone. But here’s a little secret that seasoned home cooks swear by: the roasting bag. That’s right. This humble kitchen tool can help you cook the juiciest, most flavorful turkey of your life—without stress, constant basting, or a dry bite in sight.

🦃 Why Use a Roasting Bag?
- Keeps the turkey moist — steam circulates inside the bag
- Cuts down cooking time by trapping heat
- Minimizes cleanup — no splatters in the oven!
- Perfect for first-timers — hard to mess up!
🛒 What You’ll Need:
- 1 whole turkey (10–20 lbs), thawed
- 1 large turkey-sized oven-safe roasting bag
- 2 tbsp flour (for the bag)
- Salt & pepper
- Butter or olive oil (about ½ cup)
- Herbs (rosemary, thyme, sage)
- Aromatics (1 onion, 1 apple, garlic cloves, lemon)
- Optional: poultry seasoning or garlic powder
👩🍳 How to Cook a Turkey in a Roasting Bag
1. Preheat Oven to 350°F (175°C)
2. Prep the Roasting Bag
- Shake 1–2 tablespoons of flour inside the roasting bag.
- This helps prevent the bag from bursting and thickens the juices for easy gravy.
- Place the bag in a large roasting pan (deep enough to catch drippings).
3. Season the Turkey
- Remove neck and giblets from the cavity.
- Pat the turkey dry with paper towels.
- Rub the outside and inside with butter or oil, then sprinkle generously with salt, pepper, and herbs.
- Stuff the cavity with aromatics like onion wedges, apple slices, garlic cloves, or lemon halves.
4. Place Turkey in Bag
- Slide the turkey into the floured bag, breast side up.
- Seal the bag with the provided tie.
- Cut 4–6 small slits in the top of the bag to let steam escape.
