Stress The Rest
One of the most important parts of successfully roasting a turkey is giving it ample time to rest outside of the oven. Whole, your turkey will stay hot for a few hours after cooking, so don’t be apprehensive – it won’t be cold at the table! Resting allows the juices to settle and will make for incredibly moist meat. Rest the turkey for a minimum of 30 minutes, preferably 1 to 2 hours.
