Should I use a cooking bag to cook my Thanksgiving turkey?
AmazingLarry asked:
Does it taste as good as roasting it without one? I want the most delicious traditional Thanksgiving turkey possible. Cooking bag or no cooking bag? Your opinion please.

I say yes. It will still get brown and crispy, but the inside will remain moist.

I love the cooking bags, turkey stays moist and best of all…..NO mess.
Everything is inside the bag, even the juices for making gravy. When turkey is gone just throw the bag away. I’m old and I like things easy.
oh, and the turkey tastes great too!

NO!!! A cooking bag does not roast it steams the turkey.

I use a cooking bag every time—I like a moist turkey and that’s what I get.I take my turkey out of the bag and use the juice in my dressing..Then put it in the oven just to get it golden brown.I also put apple juice in the bag for flavor…..

Absolutely! Cooking bags are wonderful! They are easy and foolproof (as long as you don’t open the bag every 30 minutes to check the turkey–I had a friend that did that!). I panic if I don’t have a cooking bag.
