Upside Down Roast Turkey
This has become the default method of roasting the turkey for some members of the family. You can flip the turkey over at the end to brown the top. Some online recipes offer different suggestions for when to flip it, or even if you should try to flip it at all.
Warning - if you use a metal cooking rack, the presentation will be less than impressive. But if your bird isn't posing for Penthouse Sunset Magazine, you may not care about esthetic breasts.
Make sure that the turkey's legs are tied together, held close to the body, and tie a string around the turkey body to hold the wings in close.
Place turkey BREAST DOWN on the bottom of a rack over a sturdy roasting pan big enough to catch all the drippings. Spray the rack with Pam before placing the turkey on it.
The positive: The breast does not get dried out:
The negative:
Your bird will not be able to achieve its dream of being a covergirl for Sunset Magazine.
