Main Course: Roasted Turkey 

Turkey is the highlight of every Christmas feast. If you’ve wanted to whip up a turkey of your own this year is a great year to start. Order fresh and naturally raised turkeys from Licious. They come cleaned and ready to be marinated! 

For the marination simply heat cooking butter on a pan and add herbs of your choice. Coat the inside of the turkey with this dress and then brush the top with it. Preheat the oven to 450-degree Fahrenheit. Place carrots, potatoes, celery or any vegetable of your choice on a tray and place the turkey on top. Pop the turkey into the oven and reduce temperature to 350-degree Fahrenheit. The rule of thumb generally is that for every .5 kilogram of turkey add 13 minutes to the oven time. An average turkey usually needs a couple of hours at least. To know more about how to cook a turkey without an oven, click here
