The American holiday table is as diverse as the country itself, making the “traditional" meal something different for every family. But when it comes to Thanksgiving dinner, it's hard to beat the classic golden brown delicious Butter Roasted Turkey.
Here are the steps to make it.
STEP 1: Melt 2 cups of butter over medium-low heat. Remove it from the heat; stir in wine. Set it aside.
STEP 2: Wash the turkey with cold running water. Pat it dry with paper towels.
STEP 3: Place it in a shallow roasting pan, breast-side up. Salt and pepper its inside with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Stuff it with onion pieces. Sprinkle(撒）1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper onto the turkey.
STEP 4:Put it in the wine and butter mixture(混合物），squeeze out a little of the liquid. Pour more wine and butter mixture over the turkey.
STEP 5:Heat the oven to 230℃.Roast it 30 minutes. Pour more wine and butter mixture over it again.
STEP 6:Reduce the oven temperature to 180℃.Pour more wine and butter mixture over the turkey every 30 minutes. After 3 hours, pour the remaining wine and butter mixture over the turkey.
STEP 7: Remove the turkey from the oven. Let it stand 30 minutes before carving.
Notes:
1) The size of the turkey varies depending on the number of guests. Typically it's one pound per person or one and a half pounds per person if you want leftovers.
2) Turkey doesn't take quite as long as people think and over-roasting leads to a tough bird and a shortage of juice.
3）Remember to allow at least 20 minutes to let the turkey stand at room temperature after roasting and before slicing. The meat will then slice more easily!
