Beware...your turkey will cook quite a bit faster in the bag. I had a 15 1/2 lb. turkey and it was done in 2-1/2 hours. I noticed how quickly it was cooking and lowered the oven temp to 325 and still it was that fast! My turkey was brined which also speeds the cooking process. I spread a mixture of butter, olive oil and spices under the skin of the breast and over the entire turkey. The bird brown browned nicely. I was concerned at first because I had tons of drippings in the bag but they weren't nice and carmelized like they are when you roast without a bag but I just added a bit of Kitchen Bouquet browning sauce to my gravy and it was wonderful! Great result. Next time I'll turn the oven temp down to 325 and plan for a much quicker cooking time.
