Most homes have one oven. That reduces space for cooking multiple dishes for holiday meals.
During the holidays, try using another method for cooking the turkey. Outdoor methods include a grill or smoker, deep fat turkey fryer, and the “Big Green Egg.” Indoor options include an electric roaster or even the microwave.
No matter which method you choose to get your turkey to the table, have a food thermometer handy so you can make sure the turkey has reached the safe minimum internal temperature of 165 °F. Let the turkey stand for 20 minutes before carving.
