A perfectly roasted turkey is succulent, delicious and the star of the Thanksgiving feast. There are many Thanksgiving recipes you can try this year such as turkey flavored with herbs or dry rubs. You need the right roasting pans to make the perfect turkey. Here are some simple recipes and tips to choose the right cooking tools to enhance your holiday cooking and dining experience. Roasting Pans Roasting pans are essential tools for cooking tasty holiday meals. The right pan ensures the turkey is cooked evenly and comes out moist and golden brown from the oven. When you are choosing a roasting pan, the size and weight of the pan are two important considerations. The pan should be sturdy enough to support the weight of the turkey. Use a heavy duty roasting pan for holiday roasting so taking the turkey from the oven is easier and the heavier base will prevent drippings from burning. Choose roasting pans based on the size of the turkey you wish to serve. For a small bird weighing about 10 to 12 pounds, choose a small roasting pan measuring about 14" x 10". You will need a large pan for a large, 20-pound-turkey. Make sure the turkey fits into the pan completely because if it extends beyond the pan, the meat will drip juices into the oven. The pan should not be too large either as the juices will burn in a large pan. It’s a good idea to have two to three differently sized roasting pans to choose from for your holiday and everyday cooking needs. Thanksgiving Recipes for Gravy Serve delicious gravy along with your turkey for a complete Thanksgiving experience. Browse online for Thanksgiving recipes that use pan drippings to make gravy. This type of gravy is easy to make and is flavorful with all the juices from the bird. After taking the turkey out from the oven let it rest on a serving platter and pour the pan drippings into a measuring bowl. In a saucepan, make a roux with butter and flour and add the drippings to it. Let it simmer for about a minute or two and then flavor it with salt and pepper. Create your own gravy-based Thanksgiving recipes by adding new ingredients or herbs to the drippings. Let the turkey take center stage with these roast and gravy ideas.
