Turkey

[Anonymous No.13276240]

I’m terrible at cooking but I stead of frozen pizza this thanksgiving, I’m going to attempt to cook a turkey (or at least part of one).

I found a recipe to cook a boneless turkey roast, but it says “roasting rack in a roasting pan”. I do not have this. Is it possible for me to cook this on a normal baking pan?

no because the juices are going to overflow and set your home on fire

No, you'll create mustard gas.

Tahnksgivin isn't really a huge deal were I live, but Chef John from Foodwishes dot com has a couple of nice recipies, not sure if any of those involve a regular baking pan though.

how big of a bird are you talking about? I’m just cooking for myself. I don’t need a whole turkey. I am looking at this recipe

Ingredients
3 pound turkey roast , thawed
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
US Customary – Metric
Instructions
Heat oven to 325° F (165° C)
Remove roast from package; pat dry with paper towels. Leave string netting on roast.
In a small bowl, mix together the basil, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in the olive oil and make a paste.
Rub spice mix over the entire roast and place on a roasting rack in a roasting pan.
Place slices of butter on top of roast.
Bake, uncovered for 1 3/4 to 2 hours, or until meat thermometer inserted in center of roast reaches 175 degrees F.

The bird drops about 3-6 cups of juice depending on size and water added to rip you off. It needs to be kept out of it as well so it actually roasts.

what can I use to create a makeshift rack in a baking pan to elevate the bird?

There are stores that will sell just breast or half a turkey if you want. I did the latter my first time because I knew it was just going to be my sister and I that one time. You won't be able to do the fancy stuff like stuffing butter under the skin to keep it moist but if you just wanted to try a roast, it's an okay test but you could also just roast a big chicken instead. Easier to thaw if you haven't even bought a turkey yet or you if you can still find a small unfrozen, fresh turkey. Most local stores will have run out of those since the weekend.

You don't HAVE to have a roasting rack. I'll assume its a smaller bird since you are solo it wont be perfect but depending on size you could use balls of aluminum foil, a few ramekins or a nice hefty bed of vegetables likes carrots & onions. Not ideal but it will work better then just throwing it in a baking pan and you wont have to buy a roasting rack you might not ever use again
