• How To Cook a Turkey I... - Jak na to + styl
It's Thanksgiving day. I've been stressing about how to cook my turkey for a couple of weeks. I've watched your instructional video over and over. I think I have this "in the bag"! I feel totally prepared for cooking the bird later on today. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO!!
You are very welcome. I'm sure it'll be delicious. Have a Happy Thanksgiving! Thanks for watching!
Tom Cogburn Happy Thanksgiving! This is my 2nd Tday doing a bagged turkey. It’s been marinating overnight and in an hour, my bird goes in. Last year, the turkey came out AMAZING. BASICALLY NO LEFTOVERS! May yours come out just as tasty.
@@missfirenice1421 Happy Thanksgiving! Thank you for your comment!
I'm right there with you brother, good luck today.
@@dalegribble2339 Have a Happy Thanksgiving! Thank you for watching and commenting!
I am back for my yearly reminder how to make a turkey! LOL! ;)
Excellent! Have a Happy Thanksgiving! Thank you for watching and re-watching :) Stay tuned for a brand new turkey breast video!
@@RobertBogetti This year (my 3rd year hosting Thanksgiving) my hubby is deep frying a turkey (his first time) and I am baking a turkey (like in the video). Love the seasoning mix! We have around 25 people coming! I am all ears if you have any tips or tricks! PS. I've watched a million videos before settling on yours to come back to over and over. Although I did start putting some butter under the skin too. I really like using the Reynolds bag to keep it moist without basting it! :) Thank you for replying, and Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours as well!! I will keep my eye out for a new video! My next stop is finding a sweet potato recipe I can make in the crockpot without nuts (2 people with allergies are coming, so I am just avoiding them all together after last years freak out over water chestnuts in the veggie casserole *eye roll). HA! :D
@@@Rachel-hg1gn Awesome! Have you seen my candied sweet potato video? You just reminded me, I need to create a deep fried turkey video also. Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
@@RobertBogetti I literally just watched it. I think that should work fine in a crockpot. (Hard to mess up a crockpot). While you're talking deep-fried turkey (or turkey in general), maybe mention the proper way to thaw a turkey. Hubby said he read that he was supposed to leave it in the sink for 2 days (!!!!!).
me too. rachel. my christmas dinner with kids. hehe
The turkey bags work great. They make an awesome ham as well.
Clean up is a breeze too!
I used this recipe this past weekend and it turned out phenomenal! He one Chang Eli made was added softened butter and minced garlic underneath he skin on the bread side. Perfect way to cook a turkey especially for beginners. Thanks!
I will be using this recipe for the third time tomorrow. Very good recipe. I actually made homemade gravy from the drippings last year and it was AMAZING! Thank you for this video, my turkey is a hit every year because of it!
You are my goto guy every year!
Thank you very much! Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
thanks bob this turkey was the best tuekey ever thank you
I'm cooking + hosting Thanksgiving for the first time ever this year. I do not enjoy cooking and a friend told me to use a Reynolds bag. I am super nervous but this video makes me feel sooo much better.
Don't worry, I'm sure your turkey will turn out great! The Reynolds cooking bag makes it easy. Have a Happy Thanksgiving and thanks for watching!
Thanks, looks delish. I never thought about adding spices to the flour as well. Roasting bags make the best turkey every time.
You are very welcome! Thanks for watching!
I have used the bags for several years. Follow the directions and you will have a very good turkey with the white meat very moist. One tip take off one half hour and use the micro wave and meat thermometer to finish for the individual person or simply use the turkey as it comes out of the oven. REMEMBER you can always cook it more but tough to undo a dry meat condition. I have had EXCELLENT results every time
This is great....I used the bag before years ago and I think I'm going to do it your way this year. I do my stuffing separately too. Great video!!
Thank you very much! Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
OMG it looks amazing. im cooking my first turkey this year. cant wait. thank you for all your tips. but that turkey looks amazing.
I am here for the refresher 😆👍 I will use your techniques.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
@@RobertBogetti You to!
can't wait to try it.
Turkey is thawing now.
:-)
Good to see you again Robert. See ya next year.
Thank you my friend, and I'm looking forward to seeing you here again next year!
@@RobertBogetti I’m back this year for our Christmas turkey. Merry Christmas Robert!!!
Back again for our Christmas 2022 bird. Truly appreciate this video!!! Merry Christmas Robert!!
Just wanted to add a suggestion. I tied my turkey up and turned it breast side down and cooked it at 250 Fahrenheit for 5 hours. Until the temperature was 170 degrees Fahrenheit. The temperature will rise as you let it sit for about 20 to 30 minutes. It will become 180 degrees F. The turkey was so moist and tender that the meat fell off the bone. I put carrots and celery and onions in the bag. I put butter under the skin. I also cut four slits into the top of the bag with a knife to let the steam out. Thanks for a wonderful video! I learn something from everyone. I also cooked my turkey on the rack like you did. It lets the heat move around the turkey better.
Awesome! Sounds very delicious! Thank you for watching!
Can I use this bag in regular oven? The package says only for convection oven...thanks.
I have never had a problem using them in non-convection ovens. I have used them in both with great results. Thanks for watching!
I was also worried about the bag melting the first time I used it. It amazed me that it didn't affect the bag.
@@RobertBogetti What about injecting butter in the Turkey?
My husband and I made our first Thanksgiving Turkey - with YOU and this awesome video beside us- guiding us the whole way through!! YOU ROCK ROBERT!! Our 20 pound turkey turned out fantastic! Thanks so much for making this video - you've got two more fans!! Merry Christmas!!
You are very welcome and thank you for sharing your Thanksgiving story! It is very rewarding for me to read such wonderful comments as yours. Thank you for watching!
What temperature you cook it on
So thanks to Covid I'm making Thanksgiving dinner for just my household. And I haven't made Thanksgiving in 6 yrs. I know you made this video several years ago, and it's very much appreciated, as I need it now! Thank You!
You are so welcome! Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Cooking bags are tried and true, my mom used them from like 1979 and forever. Everything always came out nice and moist.
Last year I made my first turkey in a very long time. I followed your instructions and that was the hit of our Friendsgiving dinner! I even made the gravy. I got elected to make the turkey again this year. I just wanted to thank you for making cooking a turkey not as scary as I thought it would be. I enjoyed your video. So I'm a fan and a subscriber. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family and friends. Your friend Brenda B.
Thank you very much for the wonderful comment! Have a Happy Thanksgiving (Friendsgiving)!
I used this recipe last year with a few minor tweaks and it turned out fantastic!
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
What was your tweaks?
great video made my mouth water.... i was wondering tho can i still cook the turkey breast side up and would it still be moist if i did that?
Thank you so much for this video. I bought my first roasting pan exactly like yours. Plus using a bag. Looks like it will be easy and delicious!! Cooking my bird today and I feel confident👌
You are very welcome. Thanks for watching and have a Happy Thanksgiving!
This video made me so much less nervous! Thank you so much for this!
You are very welcome! Thanks for watching!
Always wanted to try a bag with the rack. Thanks for showing this method. Nice adding additional spices to flour - wondered about that too. Gonna try your method for thanksgiving!!
You are very welcome! Thanks for watching and have a Happy Thanksgiving!
I didnt see any flour being used?
The family has made fun of me for years over roasting my turkey breast side down, telling me that's not how you're supposed to do it. I've tried telling them it's to keep the breast meat from drying out. They always enjoy the turkey once it's done though. Glad to see someone else does it that way. Love the tip on adding the seasoning to the flour for the bag. Can't wait to try that out. Thanks for the video.
You are welcome! Thank you for watching!
I always cook my Turkey like that too
But the bag is why you don't have to turn it upside down. Only wait after 1 1/2 to 2 hrs cooking to flip, so it doesn't fall apart like Bob's did. ;)
I love your charming little kitchen
Thank you for watching!
Wife made the turkey in the bag this year. It was the best turkey we ever had. The whole thing was nice and brown, and the skin was crisp. thanks
looks great
Thank you and thank you for watching!
Looks good
Thanks for watching!
Going to try this method this year..
The oven bag works great. Thanks for watching!
I'm making my first turkey tonight ....... it has an hour to go and so far it looks great... ... Happy Thanksgiving everyone...
Awesome! Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
My Turkey came up beautifully tasty and juicy. Everyone loved it😋😋😋thank you for your helpful recommendations 👌👌👌 Happy Canadian Thanksgiving from Montreal, Quebec ✌️✌️✌️🥳🥳🥳
You are very welcome. Thank you for the wonderful comment.
@@RobertBogetti 🙏😇👍✅
Thank you... I'm supper happy I found your video you make it so simple for us to cook it.
Looks gorgeous. I also make my turkey in the oven bag. It comes out just as moist as if you basted it. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Excellent 🙏Happy thanksgiving 🙏
Thank you! Have a Happy Thanksgiving and thank you for watching!
I was totally impressed that you were able to take that big bird out of the bag without making a huge mess. I thought for sure a wing would try to fly away. LOL Great job!
Thank you for the great comment!
thank you for the video. I took your advice and baked it upside down. Score! It's yummy
TY I was trying to see if it was breast side down.
I've used bags for years, stuffing inside is best, family loves it, about year 50 plus, I always fix turkey and stuffing.
Thank you Chef! This will be perfect for me this year!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
1 tbs flour, 1 tsp salt, 1tsp black pepper, 1 tsp poultry, 1/2 tsp rosemary 1/2 tsp thyme, 1/4 tsp of onion powder.
Thank you !🙏
Thanks 🙏
Thanks for taking the time to do this. Going to try using a bag for the first time this year and follow your process... Happy Thanksgiving 2018 from Germany!
You are very welcome. I'm sure it'll be very delicious. Happy Thanksgiving! Thank you for watching!
Thank u my friend. Good video. Subbed
You are very welcome! Thanks for watching!
That's the moistest, tenderist bird I've ever seen! Can't wait to fix mine in a bag like that! Can I stuff it and use the bag?
Sure thing! Thanks for watching!
This is great! And proof that I don’t have to turn the bird upside down to get it to Brown. I don’t recall seeing you putting holes in the bag, per her instructions. But, you have made this look easy for me. Thank you.
You are very welcome!
Happy Thanksgiving. I have cooked turkeys for many years for my family. I've used many different ways but a Reynolds Oven Bag is the best way by far. With half the cooking time. No Stress for a tender, juicy turkey.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Its looks , great, but I really want to know if the skin comes out crispy? , That's a must for me to have it golden brown. It sure looks like so if you can please confirm that? Great Video. Randy
Have you thought about adding softened butter under the skin around the breast area? A butcher suggested to me to add softened butter and either onion powder or garlic powder and place the butter mixture under the skin. You could take your seasoning mix and mix it into softened butter and place it under the skin. You would want to loosen the skin but don't completely loosen it all the way. Keep some of the skin attached. You don't want the skin to slide off of the bird while it's roasting.
Also, have you considered adding a 1/2 teaspoon sage to your seasoning mix too? Have you also thought about seasoning the inside cavity with the seasoning mix also?
You can add 1 medium chopped onion and 2 stalks of chopped celery and add these to the bag. This will add flavor to your gravy and drippings.
After you take the turkey out of the oven, let it sit in the bag and rest for at least 15 minutes. This will pull some of the juices back into the turkey.
Deanna M ... Excellent
Deanna M Got damn that's
how im going to do my turkey. Thanks
Lol I didn't even have to watch the video
Should help keeping it from falling apart if you wait a bit first.
Deanna M .... Have you thought about.....or have you considered......Shutting the F up???
lol.... just kidding, great ideas you had. I thought it was cute the way you worded it using (have you thought about or considered) before making your statement.
Came across your turkey video just the other day - just in time for this year’s Thanksgiving feast.
Wanted to do something different this year for 2020, so I opted to doing one in an oven bag. Just bought myself a new Ninja countertop oven, and the “turkey - in- the - bag” was the perfect test to see how well this oven would perform. Used your idea for coating the inside of the bag, along with some additional spices & aromatics. End Result was PHENOMENAL! Used a wireless probe inside the bag to help me monitor the temp. Also used one of the injectable marinades! Turkey turned out SUPER MOIST & JUICY! Did NOT cut slits in the top of the oven bag ( as per instructions on the package) I was hoping that by not doing so, it would help keep more moisture in the bag. It did! Got to admit though- I was a little concerned of the bag bursting, with no slits for venting, but couldn’t recall seeing you doing that in your video either, so I opted to skipped that part and just, (ahem) “WINGED” it!
Turned out so awesome, juicy , and tender, that I now want to do my next ham in the oven bag- and now that the wheels are starting to turn - I’m wondering how well a prime rib roast would do in an oven bag too!
Hmmmm....
Agains, Bob, thanks for the great instructional video.
You are very welcome! Thank you for watching and leaving such a wonderful comment! Happy Thanksgiving!
So want to try this method but concerned about not cutting slits on bag. Won't it burst?
This is my first year making a turkey thank you so much!!!
You are so welcome! Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Good Lord! I have been using those since they first came on the market! Work wonders! Also use for roasts with vegetables!
I would tuck the wings and roast it right side up not upside down like he did in the video! At some point he flipped it!
I was looking on how to cook turkey with a bag. Saw he had a pony tail. And said, this guy has taste, imma take his advice.
Thanks for watching! and watch my latest video on cooking a turkey breast in an oven bag with homemade sausage dressing and gravy! I think you'll enjoy that video too!
Very informative, thank you.
Thx Chef Bob- giving this a go for this Thanksgiving!
single Dad so i use the turkey bag every time. thanks, Robert. great video
Thank you!
Like the idea of adding seasonings to the flour!! Will try that this year. Been using oven bags for years!! Nice video
Thanks for watching!
Great job chef thank you for sharing your recipe
God bless you 🍁
You are very welcome! Thanks for watching!
Excellent video!!! Thanks for making it!!
You are very welcome! Have a Happy Thanksgiving and thank you for watching!
love the easy video thank you for sharing it
thanks bob best turkey ever it was so moist and had taste.

+Livereater00 Thank you!
Simple...looks delicious...I will be using this method...thank you.New subscriber.
Thank you. That was a great tutorial. I'm making a turkey for the second time in 20 years. I'm going to use your method.
You are very welcome! Have a Happy Thanksgiving and thanks for watching.
Perfect 👌 thank you 🙏 thanksgiving to you
Looks amazing, I am going to try your recipe next week for Thanksgiving. Thank you for sharing.
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
I Poke my turkey so the flavor goes into the meat just NOT only on the outside of the skin. I also add butter chunk into it. ALSO I add sour orange, OH what a taste it gives it. The mash garlic i use along with the sour orange gives it such a taste ,that you have never ever had before.
Sounds great! Happy Thanksgiving!
Wow, that turkey is on steroids😁 Great video!!!! Using a turkey bag is the best way to go👍
Thank you and thanks for watching!
very nice, I have adopted this as my go to for a moist turkey , I do brining also the night before , now to find your gravy video!
What's the oven temperature? Thank you for your help!!!
350 degrees Fahrenheit, You are very welcome! Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
I'm making Turkey for Christmas this year. Sadly, due to Covid it'll just be my small family of three.
Thank you for your step by step video! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!!
You are very welcome! Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Robert bogetti what is the temperature of he oven?
Thank you! you answered all my questions.
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!
good video
friend
Thank you!
so I noticed that you baked it in the bag breast side down. Did that produce a more of a moist turkey?
My personal reason for placing the bird breast side down is that a significant amount of seasoned juices will accumulate at the bottom of the bag and the breast meat will be infused with those flavors as it cooks. I also like to stuff the bird with a couple of cored, peeled and quartered apples.
Even without the "bag" roasting a turkey breast side DOWN will produce moist breast meat, due to the fact that th fat from the BACK of the turkey drizzles DOWN to the breast during roasting.
Where do I buy the wolf claws and the brush to brush the butter on the Turkey with
There a couple of different types of claws and brushes on my Amazon page: www.amazon.com/shop/robertbogetti Choose the first list "Cooking, Baking, etc" Thanks for watching!
Bag works so good. Wouldn’t make a turkey without it.
Happy Thanksgiving! Thanks for watching!
Considering the toxins acquired from roasting a turkey in a PLASTIC BAG, your name is very fitting.
I'm curious, when you cook in the bag, would you not add onions, celery, carrots, etc... inside the cavity?
I've done the bag twice and both were a success. But, I haven't tried stuffing the cavity . . .
OH! I like the mix of spices you use TO the flour. After you did that, IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE!
Thanks for posting!!
You can put the vegetables in the cavity as you normally would without a bag to help the flavors penetrate into the turkey. When using a roasting bag since all of the moisture is retained it helps the flavors to permeate throughout the cavity. By keeping them out of the cavity it allows for the inside of the turkey to cook a little faster and evenly.
Roger That!
Thank You! I appreciate your time!!
I’ve been doing ours this way for years turns out awesome every time!
Thanks for watching!
This is the way I cook my birds all the time , it's fast and very easy.. Thanks a bunch Robert HAPPY HOLIDAYS !
You are very welcome! Happy Holidays!
so I have started my turkey cooking should I keep the bag on it and with the juice in it when its done because we won't be eating it till tomorrow
+Jean Rodriguez Either way is fine.
+Robert Bogetti :)
Hello again...Just one quick question..My turkey is thawed and I was wondering if it would be ok to let the turkey sit in water all night in the frig?Ty
Yes it is ok, just tried this myself. Put turkey in a cooler, with one bag of ice. fill it with water so it covers the turkey shut lid and your all set for the morning. Look up BRINING A TURKEY. This is were you add spices to the Turkey /water. I was lazy and just used water it differently made the turkey juicer.
did you poke holes in the bag before putting it in the oven?
what temp are you cooking it?
Is it better not to cut slits into the bag? Everyone says to cut slits into the bag to keep it from blowing up. Your turkey came out beautiful.
I would cut the slits just in case you have a build up of steam. I have never had an issue either way.
this theeeeeeee best way 2 cook a turky
It really is, thanks for watching!
This is the first Turkey I am doing this year.. I dont have the rack but a big pan, that I make my beef roast in all the time.. Will this matter also Im putting it into the bag as well, so I dont need to cover it then rite?!?
+craig69ish The roasting pan is fine and you are correct in that you do not need to cover the turkey since it's in the bag.
this is my first time and i was wondering what should the oven be at when cooking the turkey
+Jean Rodriguez 350 degrees
Thank you so much :)
Wow this is making my mouth water
My daughter volunteered me to cook a Thanksgiving ham ..So for Christmas, I'm going to try this... Can't wait to see the giblet gravy video.
You say we on your videos a lot
Who are u talking about ?
Thanks for sharing 😊
I hope you had a great Thanksgiving
I literally just finished putting the turkey in the oven! Followed your instructions and my husband said “this thanksgiving dinner is going to be a deciding factor to stay together next year or not” he is JK of course but it puts pressure on me 😂
I'm sure it will be very delicious! Have a Happy Thanksgiving and thank you for watching!
Used this last year and my father-in-law said it was the best Turkey he ever had.
Thanks for watcing!
Hats off to your camera person as well!
Thank you, and thanks for watching!
This is the best fool proof method for falling off the bones tender and juicy turkey. We've been doing it for many years.
I noticed he didn't make any holes or slits on the bag for the steam to get through. Do I not make slits for steam and why not?
Bette Dominguez
Yes you should. If not you will literally see how the bag start balloning with hot air and I think it might burst. Usually 3 slits in the bag are more than enough.
hahahaaha! thank you, dang! I forgot the orange when I start doing this at 6am Pacific time. lol... funny! it's already cooking so orange or no orange I hope that my turkey is grand!
you think the orange would make a difference?
Bette Dominguez
I haven't done it with oranges but I hope yours came out good.
I wished he had been more clearer and I just did not like how that did not came out without my oranges. But well, next time!
Thank you. Looks great. Happy Thanksgiving.
Is is okay to spray Pam non stick spray into bag to prevent sticking?
Yes, most commonly you just flour the inside of the bag, I like to use a flour and seasoning mix, but you could also spray it with non-stick spray and you could also add the flour after you spray it if you'd like. Thanks for watching!
If u did a dry brine would I rinse it b4 baking?
THAT is called a "Rub" and NO, you would NOT rinse it before baking.
what's the oven temperature and cooking time?
Your method is the only one I have seen on CZcams where your worried of the Turkey falling apart after its done.
This makes your method the one to try.
I’m excited to try this! Can I stuff the turkey with dressing? Does it take longer to cook? And can I make it without a lifting rack in the roasting pan? Using a tin roasting pan?
Yes you can stuff it with dressing, it will add just a little extra time. Your turkey is done when the temperature with a meat thermometer is 180° F in thigh and 170° F in the stuffing. You don't need to use a roasting rack and a tin roasting pan is fine. Thanks for watching and Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Never seen him punch holes in the bag to ventilate. Very important to do
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?
What temperature on conventional Bake ?
350 degrees Fahrenheit, Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
What temperature did you cook it at?
350 degrees (F), Thank you for watching!
