What Temp To Cook Turkey Breast Side Down. Place turkey breast side down on buttered bread. Place in oven legs first if possible and roast for 45 minutes.
Remove the thighs while the turkey is still breast side down. Then flip to remove the drumsticks and breasts. Put the turkey in the oven.
Once you flip the turkey to be breast side up reduce the oven s temperature to 350 degrees and continue roasting neck in first for about an hour and a half basting every 15 to 20 minutes but always cook by temperature rather than by time only.
Trim bread to length of turkey breast about 9 inches then slice horizontally. Cooking times vary depending on weight of the bird. Then reduce the heat to 350 f for the next 3 hours. It s actually quite a simple idea.
