1. Take the middle rack out of the oven. Then, preheat the oven to 350F.
2. Take the giblets out of the turkey and use for gravy, if desired. We like pureeing the giblets into the gravy for extra flavor and protein.
3. Fill your turkey with uncooked stuffing or leave empty.
4. If using bacon (which I highly recommend for the juiciest option) weave the bacon on top of the turkey.
5. Carefully place turkey into a turkey bag and slice a few 1/2 inch holes into the top of the bag. This bag is key to a juicy turkey!
6. Bake the turkey in a turkey pan with a lid for 3 hours. (3.5 hours with stuffing),
7. Check internal temp with a meat thermometer by pushing the thermometer halfway into the breast, thigh, and stuffing in the turkey. (look for these temperatures: 180°F in thigh. 170°F in breast. 165°F in stuffing).
8. If your Turkey is not up to temp, heat Turkey for fifteen minute intervals, till you reach desired temperatures. If you cook the meat past the temperatures recommended, you will dry out the meat.
9. Serve hot with Homemade Gravy, 
10. mashed potatoes, and other desired side dishes.

Enjoy!
