Preparation mode

Put the turkey on a baking sheet, cover it with foil and roast it breast down for approximately three hours, it's It is important to pay attention to the position of the turkey, as this way the juice of the meat will go down to the breast, making it more juicy. Remove the laminated paper, turn the turkey breast up, and let it brown for another 30 minutes. Take it out of the oven and let it sit for at least 10 minutes before cutting.
