Cooking Directions

  1. Place turkey on a rack in a roasting pan; place apples in turkey cavity. Place potatoes, carrots and onions around turkey. Pour water over vegetables. Combine seasoned salt, salt and pepper; rub over turkey. Combine remaining ingredients; brush over the turkey.
  2. Cover and bake at 325 degrees F for 3-1/2 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 180 degrees F. Baste if desired. Turkey may be uncovered for the last 30 minutes for additional browning if desired.

Yield: 10 servings

3. Still Hungry?

Since we have avid hunters in our family. I will quite often prepare game. Once it's stuffed with apples and topped with a unique combination of sauces, this wild bird requires no basting and cooks up nice and moist.

  • EVER EATEN A WILD TURKEY??

    The taste of wild turkeys is a deveioped taste. Depending on when you shoot them and the sex a wild turkey rosted like this will have a strong likeness to a shoe, Better to use cut-up and marinated.

    I'm trying the recipe today!! Regarding the wild turkey, the taste depends very much on the diet of the flock (corn, acorns, etc.).
