Do you remove the plastic holder around feet of turkey before baking?

Here's why:

* Safety: The plastic is not meant for high heat and could melt or even catch fire in the oven.

* Flavor: The plastic could impart an unpleasant taste to your turkey.

* Even cooking: Removing the plastic allows heat to circulate more evenly around the turkey, ensuring a more consistent cook.

Instead of the plastic holder, consider using a roasting rack to elevate the turkey and allow air to circulate. This will help the turkey cook more evenly and produce crispy skin.

Remember to always check the packaging instructions for any specific advice regarding the plastic holder.
