Which method is best for roasting turkey?


We have three methods to choose from. Each has it's own advantage and gives great results. Here's a cheat sheet to help you decide which method to use:

Reynolds® Oven Bag Method

If a tender, juicy turkey is most important, use a Reynolds Oven Bag. Oven bags lock in the moisture and juices so your turkey turns out perfectly, without the need for tending or basting. And, there's no messy pan to scrub afterwards!

Turkeys cooked in Reynolds Oven Bags cook up to 20% faster than when not using a bag.  Oven bags keep moist heat close to the turkey which protects the turkey from drying out so a higher (350°F) oven temperature can be used.  The combination of moist heat and higher temperature speeds cooking.

Reynolds Wrap® Foil Tent Method

If the appearance of a crisp-skin, golden brown turkey to carve at the table is most important, use the Foil Tent Method. It's the most traditional method and infuses a roasted flavor. To ensure that the skin won't stick to the foil, use Reynolds Wrap Non-Stick Foil.

Reynolds® Foil Wrapped Method

If you like the crisp skin, golden brown turkey but need to speed up the cooking time, try the Foil Wrapped method. It uses a 450 degree oven to cook the turkey fast while still keeping it moist.
