\n Directions<\/span>
\n <\/h2>\n
    \n

    Brining (Optional, but recommended) – 24 hours<\/h4>\n
      \n
    1. \n

      Place brine bag in cooler, bucket, or bowl and add 1 gallon of water<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    2. \n

      Pour in included brine pack or follow instructions on brine container, stir. No heating required.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    3. \n

      Submerge turkey in water + brine mixture, breast-side down so the cavity fills with brine.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    4. \n

      Seal bag, refrigerate for 24 hours<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Air-Dry for Crispy Skin (12-24 hours)<\/h4>\n
        \n
      1. \n

        Remove Turkey from the brine, drain excess, but do not rinse. Pat the turkey dry.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      2. \n

        Place turkey on a rack or tray, refrigerate uncovered for 12-24 hours. A rack is better to help dry out the bottom side of the turkey.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Make Compound Butter <\/h4>\n
          \n
        1. \n

          Mix 4 sticks softened, unsalted butter with Turkey Time seasoning. This will be to taste. We like to go heavy, but adjust to what works for you.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        2. \n

          Reserve about 1 stick\u2019s worth for basting<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Season & Prep for Oven<\/h4>\n
            \n
          1. \n

            Gently loosen skin over both breasts with your hand<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

          2. \n

            Massage compound butter under skin on each side of the turkey and massage a bit more on the outside.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

          3. \n

            Lightly spray exterior with cooking spray, we recommend Duckfat Spray or Beef Tallow<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

          4. \n

            Season generously with Turkey Time seasoning, underside first, then top.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Roasting the Turkey<\/h4>\n
              \n
            1. \n

              Preheat oven to 325 \u00b0F. Place turkey breast-side up on rack in roasting pan.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

            2. \n

              Roast until internal temp ~140 \u00b0F (for a \u201cmid-size\u201d bird, ~2 hours as guide). Melt reserved butter and baste every 15\u201330 minutes When turkey reaches ~150 \u00b0F internal, increase oven to 375 \u00b0F<\/strong> for last ~20 minutes to deepen color & crisp skin.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

            3. \n

              When the internal temp of the breast hits 165 \u00b0F and the thigh ~175 \u00b0F, remove from the oven.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

            4. \n

              Let the turkey rest for 20-30 minutes, then you are ready to carve & serve!<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n
