Roast turkey is usually served for holiday feasts such as Thanksgiving or Christmas. Side dishes that usually accompany the roast turkey include mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, stuffing, green beans and cranberry sauce. Pumpkin pie is often served as a dessert at Thanksgiving.
== Defrosting ==
Defrost the turkey in the refrigerator. All about 24 hours for every 5 pounds of turkey. Be sure to place a container underneath the turkey to prevent turkey juices dripping onto nearby foods. Fresh turkeys can also be roasted. Purchase a fresh two days before you plan to roast it. Store the fresh turkey in the refrigerator until you are ready to roast it.
== Roasting ==
Heat the oven to 325 degrees F. Remove the turkey from the refrigerator. Insert a rack into the roasting pan. Add the turkey. Roast the turkey until an internal temperature of 180 degrees F is reached. Insert a meat thermometer into the turkey to ensure this temperature is reached.

== Roasting Chart ==
|preparation=
The USDA recommends turkeys should not be stuffed during roasting for food safety reasons. Stuffing should be baked in a separate casserole dish.
#Rub the chicken through a fine sieve, or purée in a food processor.
==Storage==
#Poach the ''foie gras'' in 1 or 2 cups port wine for a few minutes, then rub through a sieve.
Remove the cooked turkey meat from the carcass. Promptly refrigerate the cooked turkey meat within two hours of serving. Turkey leftovers should be eaten within 3 to 4 days of preparation. Turkey gravy should be eaten within 2 days of serving. Heat the leftover turkey gravy to 165 degrees F for safe serving.
#Mix the chicken purée, the ''foie gras'', and the cream together and season to taste.
#Poach the peeled truffles in 1 cup or so of cognac for 10 minutes, then drain
#Prepare the chicken hearts, which have been soaked in water and deveined, then steeped in white Malaga wine and dried in a cloth, by making a slit in each with one with a sharp knife and stuffing them with a small amount of puréed York ham. Poach them in enough truffle essence to cover for 15 minutes and drain.
#Slit the turkey along the backbone and fold it open.
#Mix all of the other prepared ingredients together, then spread them over the open turkey.
#Fold the turkey carefully back into its original shape and wrap with slices or raw ham or bacon.
#Encase the entire turkey with the pastry dough, being careful to retain the shape of the bird.
#Drape the turkey with heavy aluminium foil so that it does not cook too quickly, then roast for 2½ hours in a 325-degree oven.
#To serve, present the turkey still in its pastry covering, and, after being sliced, offer the flavored ''demi-glace'' sauce from a sauce-boat.

Notes:

This elaborate recipe, which, because of the price of truffles today, would surely cost several thousand dollars to prepare, has been completely rewritten from its presentation in the 1961 edition of the Larousse Gastronomique and many of its quantities extrapolated from the original rather vague instructions. Larousse notes that it was "M. Valmy-Joyeuse who created this dish in 1906 while he was in charge of the kitchens of the Marquise of Mazenda."[1]
