# Tom Colicchio’s Turkey - Made In

Never worry about your holiday turkey drying out again with this recipe from Chef Tom Colicchio that locks in flavor and moisture through a multi-day process.

The centerpiece of many a Thanksgiving table, we wanted to make sure we did turkey right. This recipe, the centerpiece of our [1st Annual Thanksgiving Menu](/blogs/thanksgiving-menu-2022), takes a bit of planning before the big day, but with Chef Tom Colicchio’s expert guidance (and less than ten ingredients) you’ll be left with a holiday bird that’s moist and full of flavor. To start the herb butter process, you need to fully thaw your turkey. Ideally, you should let your buttered bird air dry for two days, but you can shorten it to just one day if necessary.

We have offered two different roasting temperatures depending on how much time you have. The first at 250F takes quite a long time, but Chef Colicchio firmly believes that it makes a much juicier final product and is therefore worth it. The second at 350F can also be used if you’d prefer a shorter cooking time. Also, don’t forget the turkey needs to sit out at room temperature for 1 hour before roasting.
