Now that fall is in full swing, we can't help but daydream about tasty pumpkin recipes, steaming bowls of chili, toasty PSLs, and perhaps the most important meal of them all, Thanksgiving dinner. The bird is the star of the show, so you'll need a good turkey roasting pan.
“A turkey roasting pan is different than a standard pan in that it’s much deeper (more than three inches deep) with high sides and a wire rack that fits easily inside,” says Delish assistant food editor Taylor Ann Spencer. “The basic idea is that you will place aromatics and vegetables (onion, carrots, herbs, etc.) on the bottom of the pan, under the rack, and the turkey sits cradled in the rack.”
