What is the best way to cook an 11 pound turkey?
How often should I baste the turkey while it's cooking?
Basting can help keep the turkey moist, but it's not necessary. If you decide to baste, do it every 30-45 minutes using the pan drippings or a mixture of melted butter and broth. Opening the oven door too often can cause the temperature to drop and prolong the cooking time.
