Baked Turkey, Traditional for Thanksgiving

- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2025
- Preparing a turkey for the holidays is so easy. No fuss, no stress following my directions. This turkey is flavored through and through. It is moist and not dry. Only way you can make this turkey dry is by overbaking. All you need is a turkey, butter, salt, pepper, and seasonings.
1- 10-12lb Turkey, frozen - thawed or fresh
2 sticks softened butter
1/2 tsp sage
1/2 tsp poultry seasoning
salt & pepper
onion & celery
extra sage and poultry seasoning for inside of the turkey, about 1/2 tsp each
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Wash turkey removing giblets and neck bone. Pat dry so the skin will brown golden and get crispy. Set aside.
Stir together butter, sage, and poultry seasoning.
Chop large onion in half. Cut 2-3 stalks celery in large pieces.
Salt and pepper the inside of the turkey and sprinkle the extra sage and poultry seasoning inside the cavity.
Taking your fingers, carefully run them under the skin on the breast of the turkey so as not to tear the skin. Take big pats of butter mixture and rub it under the skin pushing butter all over the breast inside the skin. Run the remaining butter on the outer skin of the turkey, covering outside of the breasts, legs, thighs, and wings. Salt & Pepper to taste. Stuff onion and celery in cavity of the turkey. Place turkey in roasting pan and cover with tin foil.
Bake 3-4 hours depending on size of your turkey. Watch the pop-up button. Once it has popped up, then check with meat thermometer for turkey to be 180 degrees.
Enjoy!

Karen this time it’s breakfast for me, but I could eat a big piece of that Turkey with my coffee. We are people who knows how to eat, God bless.
Karen, it was so nice to see your husband and your grandson Parker in another video. What a nice family to cook for!
Thank you so much ❤️
Very good, thanks
Thank you
Once I found turkey roasting bags...I never looked back! It works GREAT every time. I really liked the way you stuff it with onions and celery...adding sage and poltry seasoning. I will add that this year for sure!!! I always slather the turkey with butter inside and out...put it in the bag, cut slits in the bag, put in oven and let it cook...works every time! No messy pan the clean up.
Sounds great! Thank you for sharing your method. 🧡
I do the same. The cooking bag is the only way to go. I do exactly like Karen with butter and seasonings and celery and onion in cavity. Bag keeps turkey very moist.
yummy karen
My mouth is watering. That looks sooooo good. I definitely picked up a few tips. Thanks Jones Family!🦃
Thank you 😋❤️
I've been cooking turkeys all wrong all these years. I always thought you have to keep basting the turkey every 20 minutes or so which makes it so much more complicated. It seems by covering it with tin foil it was self basting. It looked moist and browned perfectly. Now I'll try your version this Thanksgiving!
It came out moist and delicious. Let me know if you make it. 😋❤
No not at all.I did the same way you did.Karen put all that wonderful butter under that skin and I think that what kept it moist.Im going to make it Karen's way for a change.It looked so good.
@@dianafowler791 Yes, I never put butter under the skin so I will try that, too. It looks perfect the way it came out. Can't wait to try it!
@@spoly8139 , Gm, also you can make a brine for your turkey
@@dianafowler791, Gm, also you can make a brine for your turkey
My grandma and mom always put a stick of butter and a potato in the cavity of the turkey. And they ALWAYS got up early at 3 or 4am to put the turkey in the oven to have it ready by noon. DELICIOUS!!!!!!
Thanks for sharing!! 😋🧡 can I ask why the potato. Just curious
We're here up in Canada and we just had turkey for us for our Thanksgiving just over a week ago and I'm hungry for turkey again
I bet your turkey is delicious. 🧡😋
@@KarenJonesFoodFamily Oh yes it was delicious I did not put butter Under the Skin this time though I wet brined it. I usually dry brine it and then I put butter Under the Skin but this time this time I decided to try something different I think I do prefer the dry brine.
I look forward to American Thanksgiving too maybe I'll have turkey again lol especially with that delicious dressing you made yesterday
Thank you. Let me know if you make it. I think it and the dressing is so good. 😋❤️
@@KarenJonesFoodFamily definitely 👍
Absolutely beautifully filming captured loved your clean kitchen.. another marvelous fabulous upload and you nailed it.. million thanks again for sharing stay safe Merci
Thank you so much 😊🧡
Love turkey. I bake my turkey in a baking bag. The turkey stays very moist and browns nicely. Using a bag contains everything and makes cleanup a breeze. Love how you present, very easy to follow. Thank you!
Thank you. I've used the bags and they are easy clean up. ❤️😋
I think we will have to bake one before thanksgiving. Yummy goodness
Hope you enjoy 🧡😋
Watching you make that turkey makes me excited for next month. Love watching you and Mr. Jones enjoying the fruits of your labor in that kitchen. Thanks for always sharing your talent with us. 💗
Thank you. ❤️
YUMM!! Thank you so much for doing all you do. Your kindness, generosity and charm shows through all you do.
Thank you so much! 🧡
Haha. I was thinking the same thing when you sliced into that turkey! Christmas Vacation is a definite favorite in our house! 😂
Yes it is. I love Christmas. One of my favorite times of the year. ❤️
Thank you God Bless you Folks
Thank you so much. ❤️
Looks delicious,im going to try to make my turkey that way this year
Oh Karen,
My mouth is watering.... that Turkey was done to perfection...and Your Kitchen skills and ease makes watching Your Videos Very Educational...
Thank you so much. ❤️
I made my first turkey last Thanksgiving just like you showed us. It came out perfectly. I hope it wasn’t beginners luck because I’m making another one this year! Thanks for sharing this with us! I’m ready for Thanksgiving!
I'm ready too. The turkey was delicious 😋 ❤️
OMG Karen THANK YOU for the TEST RUN!!! people need this....ahead of time
This way we get Thanksgiving twice. 😉😋🧡
My dad made his dressing with sara lee or any brand dry bread cubes that come in a bag,along with ground giblets and chicken liver cooked. He added chicken broth, celery ,onion and diced small apple and of course seasonings of parsley, sage, thyme s&p, garlic and onion powder. It was truly a Thanksgiving staple.
I'm sure it was amazing 😋❤️
I like to use fresh thyme and rosemary in my turkey. I stuff it with celery, onion, carrot and an orange. I rub herb butter under the skin and tie it up with butcher twine and put it in the rotisserie oven. It's so moist and flavorful. Yours looks delicious Karen. 🙂❤️
Thank you. Yours sounds delicious 😋
I’ve started wearing gloves to keep all the goop from getting under my fingernails. I do that with meatloaf and even biscuits sometimes. I cook my turkey whole, basted with seasoned butter and covered in foil until the last 45 minutes. I uncover it to let it brown good. I cook mine at 325 for 15 minutes per pound. Same with my ham. This looks so yummy. I’m fixing the ham this year, my son ordered a wild turkey from D’Artagnan Foods. They have the best duck breast and Guinea legs too. Expensive but once a year is worth it. You enjoy your scrumptious looking turkey. Yum!! ♥️
Thank you. Your way sounds delicious. 😋❤️
Looks yummy guys!!!! I cook mine in a black roasting pan and it comes out perfect everytime!!! Enjoy!!!
I had my packed away and didn't want to drag it out. I bet yours is delicious. 😋🧡
Karen I love love watching you cook. It relaxes me so much. And you are definitely a fantastic cook. Keep them coming sweetie . Look forward to them.
Thank you. Loves and hugs ❤️
Karen.
I love making Turkey dinner for me and my husband. Like to share this meal with neighbors to. Your meal was yummy for sure.
Thank you so much ❤️
Looks so good. I make my turkey the same way. Gotta have cranberry relish. Thank you both for the wonderful meal.
Have a blessed night!
Thank you! You too! Yes, cranberry sets it off just perfect.
🧡😋
We're not crazy about turkey, especially leftover turkey and there's only 2 of us so it's a waste to cook a whole turkey. I have bought a small breast and cooked it in the Air Fryer. It turned out great and didn't take long at all to cook. I like deep-fried turkey with crispy skin.
Just for 2, I think just the turkey breadth is perfect. ❤️
Great looking turkey, and all the other dishes looked wonderful. I had forgotten about the side dish of English peas. I had that many years ago, and they are truly delicious, as well as easy to prepare. I really enjoy your videos, so glad that I found your channel, God bless.
Thank you. Yes, the peas are really good and so quick and easy to make. ❤️
Oh wow my favorite couple!!! I will try to make a turkey this year for sure. Delicious!!! You always do a fabulous job cooking!!!!!!!!
Thank you. I'm sure you can do and it will be delicious 😋 ❤️
Thank you Karen made me hungry ❤️
Thank you for being with me in my kitchen. 😋🧡
Wouldn't miss it for anything your so sweet and husband too 🥰
Followed this method / recipe and made the best turkey I’ve ever eaten! So juicy and tender! ❤Thank you!
Thank you so much. I am so happy you enjoyed it. I love hearing from people that try my recipes. Loves and hugs ❤️
No I’ve never forgot giblets thanksgiving dressing has to have goblet gravy a must in my family.
Love love the gravy. ❤️
Y’all are adorable ❤ an that bird is just beautiful
Thank you
Looks so wonderful, I’m looking forward to Thanksgiving, always struggle with sides dishes🦃
We have some sides coming soon. Keep checking on us. Happy Thanksgiving ❤️😋
That's exactly how I've always done mine. Thank you Karen! You're recipes are wonderful!
Thank you so much ❤️
I love how clean and careful you are with this turkey. I’m a nurse and I’m so afraid of salmonella poisoning. I always use gloves when dealing with poultry.
I am always washing and sanitizing after poultry. Doesn't make it ony videos but I am very picky about it. ❤️
i do mine the same way other than I put my onions and celery in my home made stuffing and fill turkey with my stuffing,The Turkey comes out juicy and golden brown and they stuffing is moist and filled with the flavor from cooking inside the Turkey, looks great Makes me want some Turkey now LOL
I can't wait for the actual Thanksgiving day meal. 😋😋❤️
....loved the Intro, Miss Karen ! So creative and tells what this Episode is !
I think it's such a good idea to show how you do everything, for maybe some viewers who have not made thier own Thanksgiving Turkey. I also Season my butter, I just think it gives more depth of flavour. I also add Orange slices , as well onion slices and a bit of celery ...and half a stick of butter, lol. ( those Oranges just add something extra! ) I always roasted my Turkey whole, that's what I prefer. I agree with not trusting that Themometer on the Turkey, I always cook it longer.
I found some clear gloves that are used for food prep ,and I use those a lot, I think it's good to use gloves for certain types of prep, especially with the Butter, lol. I don't stuff my Turkey, with dressing, I make that separate.
Looks delicious, I was getting hungry,Miss Karen lol ! Mr. Jones did a fine job of carving ! Thank you both for a lovely visit to your Home !
🙏🏻😊🍽🍗🍛
Thank you so much. Your ideas sound delicious. I don't like to stuff the turkey either. I usually have clear gloves, I prefer them for looks. Thank you for being in my kitchen with me. ❤️😋
You are the sweetest woman. Thank you for your wonderful video
Thank you so much. Yiu are so sweet. ❤️
I love your beautiful kitchen. It's so roomy. And I notice that everything you cook looks so delicious..😊
Thank you so much ❤️
Your technique is impeccable
Thank you. 🧡
We have always made our turkey sauce Ms. Karen. We marinade it for a few days in tomato sauce, orange juice, one beer, onions, and lots of spices. It’s so good.
I meant turkey in sauce.
Hmmm! Never heard of it this way. Sounds ds very interesting 😋❤️
Very nice video 😊 great ideas on seasoning. Happy thanksgiving 🦃
Thank you ❤️ Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family ❤️
Looking forward to Thanksgiving!
Thanks for sharing!
Hope you enjoy. Thank you 🧡
I would love to have a piece of that turkey. And dressing
Next time I'll send you a piece. 😉🧡
I cook my turkey the same way butter under the skin but I put a stick of butter in cavity too makes delicious gravy..and I cover with a foil Tent ..that's the way my mama taught me 😇❤ everything looked delicious 😋
Yumm, you know I love my butter. 😋🧡
Thank you Karen for this delicious, baked turkey recipe! I think sage and poultry seasonings marry very well together; and I like how you start working in the center of the bird first. Very interesting also is the fact that you essentially apply butter under the skin (top) which allows it to melt throughout. And the stuffing; I assumed you would have to sew the turkey closed, but no. So many wonderful, easy ideas here to try. Really easier than I anticipated! Blessings.
Thank you. This turkey was so moist and delicious 😋 I never stuff my turkey. I always cook it separate ❤️
G M, everything looks delicious
Thank you. ❤️
Looks really good Karen, we put bacon on top of our turkey while cooking and remove it as it gets crispy, and replace as needed so that every one gets crispy bacon as a tease! This makes a great gravy.
Cant go wrong with bacon.😋🧡
This looks super good Miss Karen! Also like it when Paul shows up in your videos, a country good time!
Thank you so much. I love having him in the kitchen with me ❤️
Hello Karen I just , seen your video for the first time this morning,and I just absolutely love you . The turkey looks delicious. And your kitchen is so perfectly decorated. I'll be continuing watching your video's
Thank you Kay. My middle name is Kay 😉. I love to decorate my kitchen for each season. Welcome to our family ❤️
Looks delicious and then some.
Wish I could reach in and grab a bite,
I wish you could be here with me to taste it.🧡😋
Sounds and looks so yummy, thank you, Karen!
Thank you. ❤️
Those smells are sentimental to me ..reminds me of holidays and my mom and everything she fixed over the holidays. Lovely lovely fragrances
They are the smell of the holidays. Takes me back toy childhood with my mama and granny cooking. 😋😉❤️
I love the dressing!
Thank you so much. ❤️
Karen looks amazingly delicious 😋.I will give this a try.I usually stuff my turkey.Your way is something different and I no everyone will love it.Cant wait to try this.I think a change is always good.Thank you Karen for sharing.Your amazing too.My husband will love this too.🦃.
Thank you so much. If you try it please let me know. 😋❤️
Karen, this turkey looks so moist and tender! Delicious!! ❤ thank you for sharing! ❤
You are so welcome!
Years ago I gave up on cooking a whole turkey.
Now I cut it into pieces pat dry, season and cook in a deep cookie sheet. Cook about half way with skin side down, butter and seasonings packed on, then turn it skin side up, brush with butter in the pan to finish.
Pieces come out much moister and are easier to cut than when you do a whole bird.
I never stuffed a turkey anyway so baking it on the side is no problem
I don't stuff the bird either. I know people that cook theirs like you. I need to try it. ❤️😋
You are a joy too watch
Thank you so much ❤️
NOW THAT IS A GOOD LOOKING TURKEY AND I KNOW IT WAS GOOD Y'ALL 😋 THANKS FOR SHARING
Joyce, it was delicious 😋
So very “thankful” that I found your channel Karen! 🥰. I enjoy it so much. Everything looked so delicious! You and Mr. Jones are so cute. You remind me of my parents so much. 💜. Love it when Mr. Jones pops in the video. 😊. I have my Mom’s Cranberry Apple recipe that I bet you both would like. It’s a must have at our Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. 💜
Thank you. If you don't mind, send me your mom's recipe. Loves and hugs ❤️

Thank you so much. ❤️
We obviously don't celebrate Thanksgiving in Ireland since its a holiday unique to North America, so I associate Turkey with Christmas. Have you ever tried roast potatoes? In Ireland and Great Britain, we pre-boil the potatoes in boiling salted water, not to cook them, as they only stay in the water about 10 mins. We cut the potatoes in larger chunks. After 10 mins, drain your potatoes and in the pot they cooked, place the lid on and move the potatoes about inside the pot, so they get a bit smashed on the outside, they'll still be uncooked and firm. But on a roasting pan, using some duck or goose fat that you've been heating up on the roasting pan inside the oven, take the potatoes you par-boiled and spread them over the roasting pan and roast in the oven until fork tender. They will be crispy and golden on the outside and fluffy inside and they pair great with roast meat and gravy.
Sounds delicious. I love roasted potatoes but have never used this method. I think I will be in the future. Thanks 😉🧡
I am guilty of leaving that thing in also Karen...lol. But, your turkey looks really tasty and I'm gonna have to steal your recipe. Oh and on my thanksgiving table is pumpkin pie....my fav. Hubby's is pecan....yep, there is always one of those also. Thank you for sharing this....can't wait to try it. Hope it turns out as pretty as yours did. Happy Thanksgiving to you and Mr. Karen : )
I'm sure your turkey will be delicious 😋. I love pecan pie but I also like pumpkin. My hubby favorite is Egg Custard. Have you ever had that? I have a video on it already. Yumm 😋
@@KarenJonesFoodFamily Yes! My mama made the best egg custard pie. I never attempted one but I might now...lol. Thank you for making me a better cook and it's so nice to share memories of our loved ones through food. We all appreciate you so much on here : )
I have had such wonderful memories come back to me whole cooking. It takes you back home. I just hope my kids have those kind of memories when they get my age. ❤️
Good morning, my Precious!
Hello friend ❤️
I also stuff my turkey with a lemon cut in half and an orange cut into quarter’s along with the onion and celery. Just a question…… why do we think turkey’s are boy’s? Never thought about that before. Love your channel.
That is a good thought. I guess just habit. I had the question one time, why do we call our cars/trucks "she"? I thought about lemon and orange. Maybe I will try that next time. 🧡😋
Hi Karen, I rotisserie mine. My father in law said he didn't like turkey until he tried it like that.
That sounds good. I like rotisserie chicken so I bet I'd like rotisserie turkey. 😋❤️
Looks wonderful. Is there a recipe for the creamed peas 😊
The peas are so simple. Just drain a can of English peas. Pour into a microwave safe dish or a pot for the top of the stove. Add 1 can mushroom soup. Heat and enjoy! ❤️
Happy Thanksgiving to you both!!!!! I roast my turkey same as you. I like to stuff mine with the dressing. It tastes soooo good when it soaks up all the juices from the turkey. Do you ever do that?
Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. I have never stuffed the turkey. We bake it like this, or sometimes we deep fry it. ❤️😋
Hello my friend ,damn I missed your live will email you soon .....but I do my gravy with the giblets, we ha e turkey for Christmas along with a Ham....yummy xx
You didn't miss it my friend. I didn't go live. I need to do that very soon. I do have also. We are too much alike. We must be kin somewhere from our ancestors. 🧡
I have always stuffed my turkey ;)
I never have. My mama didn't so I guess I got it from her. I bet yours is delicious 😋
Mrs Karen how do u make that pea soup that look good to
Hey I love ❤️ leftovers...lol
Especially Thanksgiving leftovers 😋
Hi Karen. In watching this video (I am 78 yrs. old), I remember my mother cooking HUGE turkeys for a large family dinner. She (also myself and my sisters) always folded the wings down under the turkey while cooking. She always said it kept them from burning and she/we also stuffed our turkeys. I don't know why this day and age people say stuffing a turkey is "unsafe". I've always stuffed my turkeys like our mother and nobody ever got sick. Wonder why that came out as a ruling? Do you know? Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
I don't stuff with dressing, I do that on the side, but I believe it's not recommended due to time and temp. It's takes a while to get cooked all the way through to the stuffing. I may be wrong but that's what I've always heard. Happy Thanksgiving ❤️❤️
Thank you now maybe I will have a moist and tasty turkey! What is the dressing recipe you made?
Thank you. It was delicious 😋 dressing link below
ruclips.net/video/CK-0GlmxF_g/видео.html
Thank you!
Did you make video for dressing, Ms. Jones?
I did. I posted it a couple of days ago. 😋🧡
ruclips.net/video/CK-0GlmxF_g/видео.html
That turkey looked so good. Since my mom passed away, I am in charge now of doing the turkey and dressing for the family. It makes me nervous because I am not very confident of it tasting as good as hers. Thank you for showing us how you bake yours. Do you use a certain brand of poultry seasoning?
Your turkey looks so delicious! I think there is a difference in poultry seasoning. What brand do you like and use? Also, I didn’t hear you say what kind of broth you poured in your pan. I want to try to do mine this way this year.
I usually use Spice Island seasoning. If I'm not using homemade broth I'll use Swanson or Sam's brand is very good also. ❤️
Like you cook your but I put apples instead of celery and I do use onion
Apples sounds delicious 😋
😍🤤❤️😃

We have fried our Turkey, which is yummy, but lately I’ve been doing in the oven. My husband, in charge of frying, brings in the Turkey round about 8pm while all my side dishes are cold.
Shame on him 🤣 I like it fried as well. My youngest son is the turkey fryer. 😉❤️
What kind of poultry seasoning are you using?
I normally use McCormick or Spice Island which is favorite of the two. Sometimes I will use store brand but I like these better. ❤️😋
looks great
Thank you. ❤️
Karen, I am curious why you said you wouldn’t want to go over 12 pounds on a turkey. Is it because the larger turkey’s aren’t as tender. We have 7 adults and some children to serve on Thanksgiving and it takes a larger turkey to feed that many. We like to have leftovers as well. Maybe it would be better to bake 2 smaller turkeys instead of a large one. What do you think or advise?
Egg custard pie! Please make that for us!
I believe I have a video for thst. I'll check. If so, I'll try to repost it. If not, we'll just make another. A night hit in family. Especially with my hubby and sis in law Tina.
