How to Cook a 10-Pound Turkey in Just 1 Hour

"Looks like frog, tastes like turkey." The secret is in the backbone.


Don’t want to spend a few hours waiting for your turkey to cook? Our friends at Jewel-Osco share the secret to roasting your bird in an hour or less. Watch!

Here’s what some Jewel fans on Facebook had to say, too:

  • William J. Badal: “Okay everybody I’m a butcher and the chef and I’m not bragging but if you do it this way and half way in cooking lift it up put all your stuffing underneath and you lay it right on top, it cuts very very easy and your stuffing will have wonderful flavors of the turkey.”
  • Marianne Weiner: “This method produced the best tasting turkey I’ve ever made...will never cook any other way!”
  • Sonji L Baker: “I don’t like the way it looks in the end. Might be a faster method, but the end result looks horrible. Takes the fun out of what a turkey looks like in my opinion.”
  • JoAnn Steve Holt: “I don’t want it on the table faster. I enjoy the anticipation of it all, checking and basting the turkey, preparing the side dishes, setting the table and oh the aroma!!!!”
  • Laurie Ann Smith: “Yea right - I’m sure this is not as easy as it looks cutting out a backbone - we get a 22 lb turkey.”
