Easy High-Heat Roast Turkey
a Betty Crocker Recipe

Betty Crocker Lost Recipes: Beloved Vintage Recipes for Today’s Kitchen

INGREDIENTS:

1 whole turkey (20 lb), thawed if frozen
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

DIRECTIONS:

1  Move oven rack to lowest position; heat oven to 450°F. Fold wings across back of turkey so tips are touching. Rub both cavities lightly with salt and pepper. Tuck legs under band of skin at tail, or tie together with heavy string, then tie to tail.

2  On rack in shallow roasting pan, place turkey breast side up. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of inside thigh and does not touch bone. (Do not add water or cover turkey.) If possible, place turkey in oven with legs to the back of the oven so they are in the hottest part of oven.

3  Roast uncovered 2 hours 45 minutes to 3 hours 15 minutes, watching carefully. After roasting about 1 hour 30 minutes, wearing oven mitts that cover hands and wrists, place tent of foil loosely over turkey when it begins to turn golden.

4  Turkey is done when thermometer reads 165°F and drumsticks move easily when lifted or twisted. If meat thermometer is not used, begin testing for doneness after about 2 hours 15 minutes. When turkey is done, place on warm platter and cover with foil to keep warm. Let stand about 15 minutes for easiest carving.

It’s Wednesday!

Before I forget, check out the high bid on my Denim & Muslin Rag Quilt!

I got up early today and was showered and dressed by 10:30am. That’s remarkable!  Feels so good to be dressed.  And freshly showered. I can’t function if I don’t take a shower. The water is like a miracle worker for waking me up. Makes sense. lol

Yesterday I was super busy all day long. Very productive day!  First, I took you to Walmart with me and did a little Tag Along with Me to Walmart EDITED version for my usual youtube audience.  But I also uploaded a Mostly UNcut and Totally UNcensored version of that same video for my $3.00 patrons which includes over 6 minutes of footage that didn’t make the cut on the edited version. Some funny shit in there, with emphasis on the word shit!  I have my mother to thank for that topic, lol.

Then I recorded Episode 2 of the Scrappy Strip Quilt and I did indeed continue on to the scrappy part of the title and turned it into a more traditional scrappy patchwork quilt.  I hope to finish that series today.

Last but not least, I ended my day with another Easy Crochet Block – Single Crochet with a Twist (for lack of a better name) for my little patchwork afghan that I’m working on.  I am totally loving being back to crocheting!  I think this is a series that will be around for a long time.

As for today, I’m not planning on going out other than to mail something.  I don’t even get out of my house clothes for that. lol  And I hope to have at least two videos today, finishing the quilt and something else.

What I Have on eBay:  My is kicking ass!  I also have for quilters!

What I’m Watching Tonight:  Survivor and the CMA Awards. They both start at 8pm so I’ll switch back and forth for the first hour then just watch the CMA Awards when Survivor is over. I do not record stuff. I’d never end up watching it.

It’s Tuesday!

I’m going to be insanely busy today.  I must go to Walmart and I will take you with me.  I might do an unedited version of that trip for my $3 patrons, so that means double the uploading time and all that jazz. But I like having some raw footage out there. Feels like I’m not wasting all those flubs and stumbles and special swear words. lol

Last night I started a new Scrappy Strip Quilt Series and I want to work on Episode 2 today. I’m going to go ahead and make the strips scrappy so this is the episode where I could ruin everything. lol

And if that’s not enough, I’d like to make another Crocheted Quilt Block for the patchwork afghan I want to make. I’d love to have that done before my trip. I can do it!

My little Denim & Muslin quilt is doing fantastic on eBay!

I think I should jump in the shower and get this day started. We’ll be on our way to Walmart soon!
