Do you cook the ribeye roast first or turkey?
This question is a bit tricky! It depends on what you're trying to achieve:
If you are having a holiday meal with both a ribeye roast and a turkey:
* It's generally recommended to cook the turkey first. Turkeys take longer to cook than ribeye roasts, and you'll want to make sure the turkey is fully cooked and safe to eat.
* You can cook the ribeye roast while the turkey rests. This allows you to time the cooking so both are ready around the same time.
If you are just cooking a ribeye roast and a turkey separately:
* You can cook them in whichever order you prefer.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Cooking a Turkey:
* Time: A turkey takes 3-4 hours to cook, depending on its size.
* Temperature: Cook at 325°F (160°C) until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh.
* Resting Time: Let the turkey rest for at least 30 minutes before carving.
Cooking a Ribeye Roast:
* Time: A ribeye roast takes about 15-20 minutes per pound for medium-rare.
* Temperature: Cook at 450°F (230°C) for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 325°F (160°C) until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness.
* Resting Time: Let the roast rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing.
