The first step is to allow enough time for the frozen turkey to cook. Ensure the oven is preheated to 325 degrees. Remember that it takes 50% more time to cook a frozen turkey than one that has been fully thawed. A frozen turkey that weighs between 12 and 15 pounds will take anywhere from five to five and a half hours to cook. Because any roasting time is approximate, check the turkey often towards the end of the cooking time. Use a meat thermometer to check the turkey. The turkey is considered to be done when the thermometer reaches 165 degrees when checked at the innermost part of the thigh and wing or the thickest part of the breast.
Not only does this method free up space in the refrigerator since it will not be thawed ahead of time, it has the added benefit that the white and dark meat cook to the perfect consistency [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], reducing the chance of the meat being dried out. Additionally, there is no risk of the refrigerator or counter being contaminated with salmonella with thawing juices.
Once the turkey has cooked for three hours, it is possible to season the bird and add vegetables or fruit to the cavity. It is also possible to stuff the turkey at this time, but it heightens the risk of contamination as the cavity may still be cold. Additionally, a stuffed bird will take at least45 minutes extra to cook.
Giblet packages are usually found in the cavity of the turkey or tucked up under the flap of skin at the front of the breastbone. Ensure that the giblet bag is made of paper. A turkey with a paper giblet bag can be placed in the oven with the bag still inside of it. Once the turkey has cooked for at least three hours, the giblet bag can be removed from the bird. Never cook a turkey with a plastic giblet bag on the inside as harmful chemicals can be released into the meat while cooking.
Procedure to Cook a Frozen Turkey
Place the frozen turkey in a shallow roasting pan. A pan that has high sides will protect the bird from the oven heat and can result in uneven cooking. It is also recommended that an oven cooking bag is not used when cooking a frozen turkey as additional liquid will pool in the bag. If the bag is opened during cooking to remove the giblets, scalding can occur. Along with the turkey [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], place a little chicken stock in the bottom. This ensures that the turkey will stay moist and the fat does not burn. Replenish this liquid as needed throughout the cooking process. It is advised that a foil tent be placed over the turkey so as to protect the skin during the lengthened cooking time. Do not put a layer of foil on the bottom.
A frozen turkey should never be smoked, grilled, deep fat fried or microwaved as these methods will not cook the meat evenly.
Safety Tip
While this method does result in a much moister turkey, it does lose flavor. Seasoning a fully thawed bird allows the flavorings of the marinade or brine to seep into the meat. Ensuring that the bird is seasoned while it is cooking can minimize this deficiency.
