How do I cook a thawed turkey?

Chef's answer
Remove the thawed turkey from the fridge 1 hour before roasting, to let it come to room temperature. Adjust your oven rack so the turkey will sit in the center of the oven. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Remove turkey from packaging and remove the neck and giblets from the inside the cavities of the bird.

A few tablespoons of leftover cranberry sauce whisked with one tablespoon or so of Dijon mustard makes a tangy, tart condiment ideal for leftover turkey sandwiches, which, in our family, are assembled using day-old homemade Parker House rolls instead of sandwich bread.
