I have always used a cooking bag. Since I do not stuff my turkey but make a huge pan of dressing, I sprinkle garlic powder, a little poultry seasoning and black pepper inside the bird and then place the onion and celery (cut into chunks) inside the turkey also. Then bake in the bag. VERY flavorful and moist.

I cooked this for Thanksgiving and it was fabulous. I stuffed the bird and it was so moist and packed with flavor. I rubbed some olive oil on the skin. This will become our family tradition. Thanks for sharing.

I have made this for years I rub the skin with a little oil, also if you have alot of side dishes to perpare like I do you can cook it overnight in the oven at 250 degress and it will be perfect when you get up

The ONLY way to cook a moist, fall off the bone delicious turkey. I prepare it just as thie recipe here directs, but add a basic bread, seasoning, celery & onion stuffing. No basting, easy clean up lots of delicious turkey stock for gravy...simply perfect!

This is how I bake my turkey and it always turns out great and very moist. It also has a nice brown color like the picture. Be sure to get the right size oven bag for the size of your turkey. Inge

I have been using the oven browning bag for years and have NEVER had a bad turkey. I do brush the top of the turkey with oil first. I have never used the celery or onion so maybe I will try that tomorrow.

The first year I used the bag, I mistakenly put it in breast side down, and stumbled upon the juiciest way to make turkey ever. Now we do it that way every year!

This is the way I've made my turkey for years! It is absolutely the only way to go!! It's easy, cooks evenly and faster and clean-up is simple!! The first year I used a bag, (i was 18), I forgot the flour...it will blow up the bag without it! :) I add celery, carrots, onion or whatever I use that year; apple, pear, cranberries etc. salt, pepper or whatever you like and in a few hours have a beautifully browned turkey! Happy Thanksgiving!!

I always cook my turkey in a bag, with rosemary, garlic and butter. It ALWAYS turns out incredible. You can even add a little of the McCormick's Turkey Rub. Just follow the directions for poundage on the packaging.

Conventional Turkey Oven bags are OK, but if you want a bird that does not taste like it has been 'stewed'...try my tip. Take a large brown craft paper bag..(without any inked priniting on it)...and 1 lb of very soft butter..grease the inside and outside of the bag heavily...then butter the outside of the stuffed bird...(does not take a full pound)...I prefer a 12 pound bird free ranger. Slip the bird into the bag (this is always fun)...and tie the end of the paper bag securely with butcher twine..set on a rack uncovered in a 'large' roasting pan and pour in 31/2 - 4 cups of water or chicken stock. Pan liquid should not touch paper bag. Roast this 'bagged' bird for up to 4 hours in a 350 degree oven...checking hourly to ensure the pan does not dry out totally, and add to the liquid as required. No basting ever required using this method! After 4 hours (pan liquid should be then be minimal)..take out and the paper bag will easily lift off...put stuffed bird on platter cover with foil, and begin to make your gravy...I like to add a prepared Knorr Swiss Poultry or Turkey package to the pan juices to further enhance the drippings that do accumulate in the pan liquid......it sounds odd...but I have done this 3 times a year for about 20 years! To rave reviews! Effortless really...and you have a perfectly roasted 12 lb bird.

I've made my turkey in a bag for years and it really keeps in the moisture. I also rub it down with butter and red wine before putting it in the bag, and I place a whole onion (peeled), and apple or orange (not peeled) inside the turkey, this also adds flavor and keeps it moist.

Yes, I know -- it seems inbelievable. That's what I thought, too, when DH first suggested it several years ago. But the turkey WILL come out perfect, every time, and the stock is amazing for gravy! We put rosemary and garlic under the skin, and lemon rinds inside the cavity. Extra extra yummy. Don't forget to flour the bag as per instructions, and let the bird rest outside the oven for 20-30 minutes for easier carving. Happy Thanksgiving to all!!

Only way to make a turkey!!! Use the oven bag from R**ynolds. Started 26 years ago, making the turkey as a newlywed for his family....yep, his family gave me the turkey to fix...blew their minds that I could fix one that was so good.

I have been cooking mny turkeys in a bag sonce before forever. Every year I am tempted to try anothier method, but when it comes down to it, WHY MESS WITH PERFECTION! This is always, always, always good. If you are not interested in displaying the turkey at the table, try roasting it breast side down, You will not believe how wonderful the breast meat becomes. And there is plenty of juice for a wonderful gravy! Try this and I guarantee you will never do it any other way.

I have used this method for over 30 years and will never cook a turkey any other way. I use some butter and sprinkle seasoned salt on it which helps the browning of the skin. I also stuff some apples and onions in the cavity for extra flavor. I don't understand why more people don't use this method.

I've used this method for years. I rub the bird down with oil, then massage in powdered herbs, salt & pepper. I place an apple, orange & onion in the cavity. I also make a bed of diced aromatic vegetables and herbs (about 2-3 cups, they cook down), including a diced turnip (yes!), then place the turkey on top inside the bag. It produces several cups of intensely flavored "essence". After every other "magic" method of turkey roasting fell flat, I returned to the "bag", and have always had a moist, delicious golden brown turkey every time.
