That’s how I do my turkey also, start breast side down, then up, to crisp the skin in the last half hour. I don’t always roast it that way. Sometimes I brine it and then rub butter under the skin, cover and roast and at the last hour take off the top and let it brown. Delish!!!!

Know someone who always started roasting her turkey breast side down, turning it over the last hour to crisp up the skin. The best and juiciest !!

The past couple of years we got an organic turkey from a local farm. But, we moved this year and I haven’t been able to track down a comparable place in our new town yet. So, it’s off to the grocery store to buy one this time around, hopefully organic, or at least an “all natural” one. But, yes, our organic turkeys were always huge. Each year I’d ask for a “small” one, the farmer would tell me ahead of time that it would probably be about 15 lbs, and each time it ended up being well over 20 lbs! And, yes, the farmer would insist that was still one of the smallest ones he had! And boy was it ever tasty! I just hope that what I’m able to get this year is at least half as good.

I have occasionally roasted a chicken upside down (um, by accident, I’m ashamed to say). It does get nice and juicy but the skin doesn’t get good and crispy.

We raise our own organic turkeys and my daughter-in-law picked out a 29 pound one to cook for her first Thanksgiving at her house. They are delicious!! I have just heard of cooking the turkey upside down for a juicier breast. I’m going to try it this year. Wish me luck ;o)

I dream of having an oven large enough to roast a turkey. And I call the other wing!

I agree about organic birds being larger than you would think. I regularly get organic chickens that are 4.5-5.5 lbs each from my CSA. I brine not so much for taste, but for the juiciness of the bird. I brine my turkey in a clean ice chest filled with brine and lots of ice. Works great!
