Dutch Oven Roasted Turkey

Dutch Oven Roast Turkey

Roasting a Turkey in a Dutch oven isn’t any harder than roasting a chicken, the trickiest part is having a Dutch oven that is large enough.

This recipe uses a simple salt and pepper seasoning, but you can upscale it to your favorite poultry rub.

This turkey may be served with vegetables cooked in another Dutch oven, or if you have limited cookware it can be served with a salad.
