How to Roast Turkey Halves

Return to Cooking 101

When cooking half a turkey, season cavity as for whole turkey. Place turkey, cut side down, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Rub skin with oil or butter, if desired. Cover turkey with a loose tent of foil.

Roast following the guidelines in the Roasting Timetable. Remove foil during last 30 - 40 minutes of cooking and baste turkey with pan drippings.

Energy & Safety Tips
Cooking attire

Don't wear loose clothes while cooking. An electrical coil on the stove reaches a temperature of 800 degrees and a gas flame goes over 1,000 degrees. A dishtowel, potholder or a loose sleeve can catch fire at 400 degrees.
