I f you're cooking the annual Thanksgiving turkey, you might wonder if you should use an oven bag. It's a method that many advocate makes a juicy turkey—and it's foolproof for beginners.

The maximum oven temperature for the Reynolds bags is 400 degrees. Don’t go higher than that or use the broiler, and don’t let the bag touch the heating elements, lowering the oven rack as needed.

To use the roasting bag, add a tablespoon of all-purpose flour to the bag and shake it around. This is emphasized in the package’s directions, but do make sure you do it.

Remove from oven; open up the bag. (Optional) You can broil for couple of minutes for extra golden color after opening the bag. See past recipes from Dean on his cooking page.
