Turkey video number 76 I've watched today preparing for Thanksgiving.
Same.
LOL I FEEL THAT
Lol
🤣👍
Same 🤭
Cooked my first turkey ever using the oven bag. It turned out beautifully! Moist, tender breast with lots of drippings on the bottom of the bag to make gravy. I will use this method always.
Same here! Had no idea what I was doing or what made me use an oven bag but it turned out so juicy so I've been doing it like this for over 20 years now!
Saved my Thanksgiving today. Probably one of the best turkeys I've ever made, and cleanup couldn't have been easier.
Put on some good music, have a glass of wine, and lower our stress while working. Make memories today! 🦃💕
Good video. Gives pertinent info, straight to the point. Wish I could have seen the gravy, though.
I did it for 31 Jan 2019 New Years Eve dinner. It worked and came out delicious. I haven't cooked a turkey since 1989. Thanks
This is great advice, thank you.
Awesome recipe. Thanks for posting, Shannon!
Beautiful recipe..I will be trying this! This year... thanks for sharing:)
Thanks! Best oven turkey bag video by far.
Very informative! Thanks for the great video
I been cooking my turkey 🦃 in a bag since the late 90s! I had always cooked with my mom on thanksgiving and we would just use Reynolds wrap and would baste it. Now just put it in the bag and it’s guaranteed to be moist and tender with lots of juices. Over the years I’ve found that putting some onion and celery and carrots in the turkey makes for some awesome juice to put in my stuffing and gravy! Easy clean up ✌️👍
The bag works great but what I’ve noticed is that the skin it’s not crispy it’s soggy did you have that same problem?
@@gioarias75 It even says that the skin won’t be crisp
I’ve used them for every turkey dinner. Comes out perfect every time.
Hi, I have tried those bags before for chicken ,it turned out wonderful ,delicious, juices, thanks so much
Great information and presentation. Thank you!!
Really liked it. 💜
This looks so good

Thank u for this vid..Ive use the roasting bag b4..what u shared on how to use it property was valuable will &make such a difference..
Thank You for the Video-LOL this is the first time i am making a turkey and i will be using the bag-
trimaksih atas tutorial nya
*🦃🍁HAPPY THANKSGIVING!🍁🦃*
Easy for an old man to understand thank you straight to the point
works everytime
good content
friend
My mom always used brown grocery bags for Turkey. Never a problem. I have done it too. No problem. You just smear the whole bag with oil and put it over the Turkey and it comes out great.
Did it for the first time this year. Turned out great. Yes it browned- beautifully. Secret? Make sure your turkey has a chance to air-dry in the fridge for 24hrs.
Getting the turkey out of the bag is pretty cumbersome (really a two person job). But it really does cook fast!
Beautiful turkey I always use these bags never a miss
I like to roast my potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots in Turkey drippings, and speed done in the turkey bag or not
Thank you
Mine came out *perfect* & juicy!!!! :) ....Thank u! ;)
Cooking mine in the clothes dryer this year!! Tumble on high until the skin falls off
😂😂😂
Just watched this on New Girl!
I just told this joke to my brother a few hours ago! New Girl was a great show.
Other than I make a brine, I make my turkey just like this and it's so delicious.
I am going to do this for Thanksgiving this year.....no taking out a hot turkey to baste anymore...plus the juices do not evaporate.
Dennis Lee me too! I did a test run on some jumbo turkey thighs and it’s AMAZING! Followed the exact directions. My turkey legs came out sooo moist . It definitely cooked an hour less! And, clean up was a breeze. I poured the drippings in a pot and made gravy as well! I’m ready for Thanksgiving!
Why do you have to take your turkey out to baste it???
@@charlieangle9789 For flavor and preventing the top from drying out
Easy to follow video.. im going to give this a try! Eeeks
Me too, all the best 🙂
Even I can do that, thank you.
which seasoning did you use? thanks
Making this tonight. Needed a more simple way of doing things after breaking my arm.
I poked the turkey bag just as my sister-in-law was benden down and it squirted turkey juice in her hairdos. Best Thanksgiving ever.
Do you carve it within the bag? I’m thinking that once it’s out of the bag it will be messy.
Idk a brown paper grocery bag def sounds fireproof.
Thank you...im cooking turkey for first time and my wife has to work so this is all up to me to get this right.
The bag is made of nylon, which does not release nasty chemicals.
I wish she would show us the shape of the bag. I had a bunch of cooking bags and this bottom drawer and I don't know if this bag is a turkey bag or not. I am going to cook a hen and I do not have a roasting pan. This bag is open on the long side. It's rectangle and the long side is open. I've also got slow cooker liners. I wonder if I can cook my hen in one of those bags?
finally some assistance from modern science to streamline and fool proof our traditions into well executed dishes by non home cooks, i like progress.
Dean, these have been on the market for years! You must be a young person! I have used these ever since they started selling them! Never fail!
Ive got the Griswold Turkey today , need to try this, how long would a 7kg stuffed Turkey take please ?
I like the way you closed the bag on the top but on your website as well as Reynolds website, it shows the bag closing on the side which is what I have always done.
Me too
Your turkey looks beautiful! I use the bag for a 12 pound turkey, ( first time) cooked for 2 hours and all I had was bones out and the meat all over. This year I’ll try again but will cook for less time. Hopefully will look like yours for a pretty presentation on the table.
Lesson Learned: Pan size is very important because our bag overlapped one year melting on the rack. This caused a huge smoke and fire situation from the leaking bag juices as our guest were arriving. .
😂
I know this was a couple years back, but thank you for sharing! I will keep that in mind!
That’s why I use my electric roasting Pan
after baking in the bag, can I set it under the broiler to get the skin crispy? I LOOOVE a slightly crispy turkey!
Remove the turkey from the bag before putting it under the broiler. You may find that you don't need to, though. The skin may be crispy, even inside the bag.
found my bags!
BPA all in the food, good job
Wrong. Google it, son.
Mom, I did. And you may want to Google it again~
@@R27LB76 I just googled it and every site says it's bpa free for reynolds.
FYI, if you don’t feel confident removing the turkey from the bag, it really makes it easy if you just leave it in the bag and pull it down before carving. In my opinion, there’s really no better way to cook a turkey than in an oven cooking bag. Plus, it does cut the turkey cooking time down a lot.
Could you use d same bag twice to bake
Looks like my every 40mins basting could be taken care by the bag. But I had another question: I normally put an aluminum foil on top worrying about burning the breast off. Does this bag take care of that as well?
Yes it does
Not to worry! Your problem is solved with the bag!
Not a cook here..Do i need a solid metal roasting pan? Or will this work with the disposable aluminum pans?
My turkey bag is never really large enough. Barely get the end twisted and tied. Do you offer a larger bag than the one marked for turkey?
I have used these but slide a big bird in from the side as opposed to dropping the bird in as she did. That gives you a bit more room to maneuver.
Does anyone know if I can run my thermometer cable through one of those slits in the side of the bag so I can watch the temp of the turkey while it cooks?
I agree. I just follow the cooking time and it’s always done in the bag. This method really keeps the breast moist, too.
Is the skin crisp? Some how I can't imagine the texture would be as good but I would love to be wrong. I brine mine and everyone loves it and it is juicy so a bit wary of doing this.
This is what I'm worried about.
What kind of seasonings did you use?
Dry brine your turkey.
Pat the turkey dry. Place it on a baking sheet with paper towels and a cookie cooling rack on it. Salt the turkey well all over, including the inside of cavity. Place in your fridge, uncovered for 24 hours. To prepare...pat turkey with towels to dry. Spread 1 stick of softened butter all over bird, including the breast, under the skin. You can drizzle olive oil, too. Add pepper and ground sage. Stuff bird lightly with fresh herbs. Sage,rosemary, thyme, parsley. It’s awesome.
We always cook our turkey in a bag with some chopped onions and spices. We also dont put any holes in the bag so it fills with juices and once the turkey is done it shreds apart real easy, we serve it in a pot with all the meat and broth mixed together, then just toss the bag with the bones in it.
What???
Turkey in a roasting bag is always so succulent. I'm always surprised to see browning, I still don't get how that happens.
Can you roast vegetables in the bag with the turkey just wondering
No. They'll end up boiled or steamed..or mushy.
Can you tell me if the cooking time is the same for a brined turkey? And should instill add spice on the skin even though the turkey brined for 8 hours? My first turkey and now my mom has me stressed out about how I'm doing it wrong and it won't be ready by the time everyone comes over. 😩
It’s no different being brined. 😂
@@Joeizle11 Well, aren't you sweet. 🙄
What if I have a deboned stuffed turkey, how long for cooking?
2 Years ago? I want to STUFF my Turkey and use these bags? can I?
Does anyone know if you can cook the turkey Brest side down in the roasting bag?!?
CJ Uzzle
Good question. I think you could therefore letting dark meat juices permeate the white meat.
CJ Uzzle
I do t know. I do know when I’ve cooked upside down before it was delish. The breast might stay into to much of the juice Cooking itself into the broth. Maybe start with breast up roasting it. Then transfer into bag ?
Try tofurkey
My mom does. Then we carefully flip it like halfway thru and baste.
Brian DL that’s how we do it too !
But can I put the bag directly on the bottom of the the pan or should it be on a rack?
The bag goes on the bottom of the pan, not a rack. Hope that helps!
I have a meat thermometer that has a heat safe cord made of metal. I put it in the meat, set temp and it alarms when it reaches the temp. Does anyone know if the meat thermometer or cord can melt the bag?
This is the only way! You won’t ever worry about a dry turkey again.
👍
What’s the oven temperature and for how long 12 pound turkey
Watch the video
@@connorswan63654:10
Great, why didn't you include what you seasoned it with?
Use your fave blend of herbs and butter, salt, pepper, lemon zest and juice. Also after you rub in that blend then drizzle with a little oil to keep the butter from burning. Or experiment with other flavors.
Also , before you prep the turkey allow it to sit for an hour before you prep it. It'll make it easier to spread the butter mixture. Also help the meat to be more tender.
Did the turkey eat the vegetables while cooking?
what about a 7.38 lb turkey how long ?
I read on the Turkey package instructions to cook 10-12 mins per lb. So that would be 1 hr 20 to 30 mins, but I’d check the dark and breast meat to reach 165 degrees. Let it sit for 20-30 mins before opening the bag. This extra time will allow the juices to settle back into the Turkey. Happy Thanksgiving.
I did one once , it was not as brown as yours or others I have seen on CZcams. You took out of bag and browned then put back in to look better for the video
Does this bag release any toxins?is it safe for health?
I bought one earlier. It says there are no BPAs, which, as I understand, are the nasty toxic by-products that come off plastic when heated up. I guess I trust it. Hoping this helps to cook the turkey thoroughly and keep all the flavor in.
I see carrots, celery and onion go in the back (instead of the bird). What is the other leafy vegetable?
This was going along well until at 02:30 when she said to cut slits at the top so that when using your temperature probe you'll be able to "INSERT YOUR THERMOMETER THROUGH THE SLITS INSTEAD OF PIERCING THE BAG"?!?!?!?! So she thinks that two big slits, AT THE TOP where you want to keep the moisture in (near the breasts) is better than poking a few SMALL HOLES to check temperature??? Sorry, but that is just plain wrong, so take my advice and only cut a few SMALL slits near the lower part of the bag, that's all you need TO RELEASE PRESSURE so that the bag doesn't blow up, then poke your probe THROUGH THE BAG to check breast temps.
Are these bags reusable ?
no
Can you use the bag if the turkey is stuffed?
Mine still came out dry! It cooked very fast.
Try brining it does wonders locking in moisture and flavor just a simple wet brine of sugar and salt mixture
Do I have to put flour in the bag if I’m already cutting slits on the bag?
How long should I cook for a 22lb Turkey
did you ever find out how long??
I bought the large ones to cook my Cornish hens but I’m scared about using the bags🙈
Scratch that. I put my flour in the bag, put my chicken in the bag and in a foil pan and after a couple minutes I started to smell like something was burning which was confirmed by my smoke alarms going off. Turned it off and threw away a chicken. I’m sticking to just cover it with foil instead. I had a bad feeling about these bags and I was right.
I’m sorry Babs but there must be something you left out of that story. That would not have happened if used correctly!
Remember to use the proper size bag! Using a turkey size bag to cook a Cornish hen was the first mistake. After getting the bird ready for the oven, make sure you make the slits in the bag! Be sure that you adjust the racks in your oven to allow for the bag expansion as it heats up! Yes, the bag still expands with the slits in it! Like she said in the video, make sure that the pan you use is the proper size as you do not want the bag to come in contact with the hot parts of your oven like walls, top or heating elements or even a rack above it!!
With all that in mind you should have better luck next time! I have been using these bags ever since they came onto the market and never had one fail yet! Happy holidays.
Hint! Try a beef roast with vegetables in one of these! Wow!
350 degree for the first 21/4 hrs and then turn down to 175 degree for HOW LONG or HOW MANY HOURS ?
Info plsssss
Tkuuu
The bag is made of nylon not plastic
all those jucies in the bag your throwing away are your gravy...
IKR!!!
How to make the gravy from the juice in the bag
Who's throwing the juices away?!!!
Just pour them into a saucepan and thicken!
Voilà GRAVY!!!
Yes use for giblet gravy on Thanksgiving!! Best gravy ever!!
I'm reading this 5 days after Thanksgiving and now I want turkey and gravy all over again!
Thank goodness for leftovers!!
From the wiki on oven bags "As much as 16% of the nylon from microwave and roasting bags were observed in the chicken after roasting at 200°C (392°F) for 2 hours and as much as .08% of the total 2-cyclopentyl cyclopentanone content in the bags were observed"
Doesn't sound so "completely safe" to me.
Add all your veggies to the ba to season the drippings for a good gravy, but then later she says to throw all the juices away! Put flour in the bag so it doesn't pop, but cutting those holes in the bag would let the pressure out anyway so there's no point to the flour.
I followed instructions practically to a T and 30 mins into roasting, the bag was melted on top of turkey and top of turkey where bag melted into was burned. Oven was at 350 😫
It looks to me that putting the bird on top of a pile of vegetables and tying it at the top could make it too tall in the oven, so you have to make sure to lower the rack to provide enough clearance or the bag could melt on top.
@@KurtWal1 The bag is sideways. You slide it in and tie the end in the front or rear. Then I snip smaller holes on the sides...maybe 3 or 4 half inch holes.. P.s. The plastic doesn't melt.
I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it.
😁
Why didn’t you guys cut the turkey..
She's a sage. My favorite holiday is often ruined by ppl deep frying the bird but they aren't ready to serve until they're fried with alcohol or they drop it on the floor and dogs or pigs nuzzle it. And Herm burns a cigarette hole in the Davenport.
Davenport? Haha you must be an older soul.. my 93 year old grandma uses that word.
arrrgh, people, u have to show us the end result, CUT into the turkey, or show us the breast meat juices, is it truly juicy? or not??? wtf
Just made mine and the juices by the leg didn’t run clear so back in the oven it goes. I made a 14 pound turkey and cooked on 350 for 2 and a half hours.
The juices don't have to run clear. Use a meat thermometer instead and check by inserting it into the deepest part of the leg and breast. Wait until both read 165 degrees. If you go off by the color of the juices you risk drying out the turkey.
No clue if Turkey done the pop up hasn’t popped up.
It was the best turkey I ever had but I froze the chicken breast and it was the driest I ever had. I couldn't even eat it
They are not oven safe it’s melted on my turkey dang
sorry this happened to you, They are made for food and oven. Not plastic but nylon. safe
I still don't understand why the flour keeps the bag from bursting.
I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it.
😁😁😁😁😁
It turns out so tender and juicy, I use it later thinkin bout Mrs Hogwallop who done runtoff.
