How would I roast a turkey in the convection oven Do you keep it covered or uincovered?

Answer:

My favourite Winter dessert has to be a sort appley-spongey-thing that I kind of half invented by accident-ish a few years back(I say invent but when you see the recipe, there was actually not a lot of inventing.) Basically it's a standard sponge mixture, ie 6oz of flour, butter, and sugar, a couple of eggs and bit of milk just for consistency (Cream the sugar and butter, add the flouretc) This sponge mixture is poured over apples that have been stewed in sugar, loads of cinnamon, and a small drop of water, and placed into any sort of a deepish baking dish you haveShove the whole show into the oven at 180 degrees centigrade, for about 45 minutes, or whenever the sponge is cookedEat straight from the oven with custard, in front of the fire while it's bucketing rain outside! Savage!
A convection oven, by definition, works by circulating heated airAs long as your provide for transfer of heat to the turkey, you can cook it exactly as you would in an electric or gas conventional ovenThus in whatever manner you cook a turkey, use the same method - but put it on a roasting rack so that the heat can circulate beneath as well as around the side and topMy favorite way to prepare a turkey - stuffed or not - is to roast it breast down - the turkey is self-basting when cooked this wayI coat it with oil - butter tends to burn and smoke - that has been mixed with herbs, lemon juice, and white wineI tent the turkey in aluminum foil until about the last 30 minutes of cooking time, and even though it is self-basting, still dip a big fat brush into the juices and baste it that wayAnd using a roasting pan with a rack is always the best method, regardless of oven typeBe SURE to use a meat thermometer when you do this! Yummy, now I am really hungry.
My sister went to a party and there was this lady there named Susan, and Susan is a real pootSusan brought a pumpkin roll that is a jelly roll looking thing but with whipped cream cheese and a delicious pumpkin cake that makes for an incredible combinationMy sister begged Susan for the recipe but Susan would not have any part of revealing her very secret recipe, after all, it was a secret, and it was HERS! My sister went home rather upset, and looked up Pumpkin Roll on the netIt turns out that the recipe won a contest from Libby's canned pumpkin, and has been printed inside (sometimes outside) the label for the last few yearsShe made it last year for Thanksgiving and we all raved and she just had to tell us the story about Susan and her secret pumpkin rollNow you are in on the secretI am a chef/caterer, and I always include pumpkin roll in my fall menusI had one friend who is a picky eater and when he tried it he yelled, that is the best thing I have ever put in my mouth!Try it, and enjoy! Isn't fall fun?
