Should You Flip A Turkey When Roasting?
It is not necessary to flip a turkey when roasting. In fact, it can be quite difficult and potentially dangerous to try to flip a large turkey in the middle of cooking. Roasting the turkey with the breast side up allows the skin to become crispy and golden brown, while also allowing the juices to flow down into the meat. If desired, the turkey can be basted or brushed with melted butter or oil to ensure even browning.
