How To Cook A Turkey In A Roasting Bag

Step 3: Add flour in the roasting bag then put the bag in a big 2-inch roasting pan.
Step 4: Add in the garlic cloves, sliced carrot, and onion wedges inside the roasting bag.
Step 5: Spread butter on the turkey then rub seasoning mix all over the turkey.
Step 6: Put the coated turkey inside the roasting bag on top of the carrots and onions.
Step 7: Close the roasting bag and cook in twine then slit 4 or 6 holes on the roasting bag.
Step 8: Place the roasting pan inside the oven and bake. Bake time depends on the weight of the turkey as I have listed below.
Step 9: Check if the turkey reaches 180 degrees F on the thickest portion of the thigh part and remove it from the oven. Let it sit inside the bag for 15 minutes for the turkey to incorporate all the juices.
