Traveling over the holidays can be fun but preparing the Thanksgiving feast becomes trickier in an RV kitchen. Below you'll find three great options for cooking a turkey in your RV this Turkey Day.
While your RV oven is small, it should be able to fit a turkey that weighs less than 12 pounds. Be sure to measure the dimensions of your RV oven first to see how big the turkey can be.
You'll need a cooking stone for this method. A disposable aluminum pan that can bend to fit your oven and catch drippings can also be helpful to have on hand.
Ingredients
It's an extra item to pack, but an electric roaster guarantees a great turkey. Plus, it'll free up your RV oven for making all the delicious sides.
Electric roasters can be purchased for $25-$50, and this Oster model is a fantastic choice that can accommodate turkeys up to 26 pounds.
Be sure to follow the included directions with your electric roaster and always use a thermometer to test the temperature. Remember, turkey needs to reach at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit in the thickest parts of the meat with clear running juices to be considered safe!
Deep-frying a turkey has become a popular, and unconventional, way to cook the Thanksgiving centerpiece. When done correctly, this method creates an irresistibly juicy turkey, while leaving the outside crispy and golden brown. Best of all, it's simple and requires no extra ingredients!
You should never attempt to deep fry inside your RV. Be sure to use a deep fryer or large pot outdoors, and a safe distance from your RV (or anyone else's RV). Propane stoves work perfectly for heating the oil if you're using a pot.
Ingredients
While cooking a turkey while RVing can be a challenge, the results are well worth the effort. Be sure to plan ahead, prepare, and know the particulars of your chosen model.
