Reynolds Turkey Bags are a convenient way to cook a delicious, moist turkey in less time than traditional roasting methods. To use a Reynolds Turkey Bag, simply place the turkey inside the bag after seasoning it to your liking. Make sure to coat the inside of the bag with flour to prevent sticking. Seal the bag with the provided tie and place it in a roasting pan. Follow the cooking time chart provided by Reynolds to ensure your turkey is cooked to perfection.
Reynolds provides a helpful time chart to determine how long to cook your turkey based on its weight. For example, a turkey weighing between 8-12 pounds should be cooked for approximately 2-2.5 hours at 325°F. For a turkey weighing between 12-16 pounds, the cooking time increases to 2.5-3 hours. It’s important to use a meat thermometer to ensure the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 165°F before serving.
