Several methods to remedy this after cooking only mask the flavor. No matter how much gravy you pour over a dry turkey, it will still taste like dry meat. Give your next baked turkey a boost of flavor, moistness, and a healthy, golden glow. The secret? Cook your turkey with Sprite or any lemon-lime soda. The sugar, acid, and carbonation combine to create a perfect poultry marinade. Using the cooking bag for this lemon-lime soda turkey saves you from having to constantly baste the bird during cooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-1\">Step 1<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Heat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-2\">Step 2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Set the turkey into the cooking bag set the bag and bird in the roasting pan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-3\">Step 3<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brush melted butter over the entire surface of the turkey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-4\">Step 4<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pour the entire can of Sprite over the turkey and close the cooking bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-5\">Step 5<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bake the turkey in the preheated oven for 3 to 3 \u00be hours for an unstuffed 10- to 12-lb turkey or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thigh registers 165 F.
