Trussing a Turkey

Not only does trussing a turkey make it a nice way to present on your dining table, it also helps to cook it more evenly. Follow the steps below for the most simple and easy way to truss your turkey for your next festive feast.

Tools:

  • When trussing your turkey, make sure to use oven-safe/heat-resistant kitchen twine-this is readily available at most supermarkets.
  • Place the turkey breast-side up in a roasting dish and tuck the wings back under the bird, this prevents them from burning or becoming too crisp.
  • Cross the turkey legs one-over-the-other and use kitchen twine to secure them by tying in a firm bow.
