Flamin’ Hot Cheetos Turkey Is The Future Of Thanksgiving

This is definitely why you’re fat, but it’s been truer that this why life is so delicious and besides, new year is just around the corner, so you’re new year’s proposition can always be to join a gym in order to make up for this sinful display of delicious gluttony that we’re going to show you.

Traditions can sometimes be improved and Thanksgiving is no different, there’s just something about the Thanksgiving turkey that doesn’t sit so well with us in 2017. We mean sure, mom’s recipe can’t be beaten, but what if we’re not trying to beat it? What if we want to play whole different ball game this year? What if we want to start our own dinner traditions for this very special holiday.

If so, what could we possibly do to improve this generational dinner scene? What twist can we add to make this Thanksgiving our own? Well, Reynolds Kitchens just came up with something that you can claim as your own and it involves the juxtaposition of turkey with one of our favorite snacks in the world, yes, you guessed it right, Flaming Hot Cheetos! (What you thought we were suggesting dietary options?!).

The recipe is now featured in many outlets everywhere, and we can’t wait to try it out for ourselves and hear all of your stories about this new Thanksgiving experience. Read the recipe below and remember to wash your hands first and be careful of not burning your hands in the oven.

1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2.Place hot puffed cheese sticks in a food processor and process until fully crushed. You can also add to a zip top bag and roll with a rolling pin until sticks are completely crushed.

3. Brush oil or butter on turkey and coat with the crushed chips.

4. Add 1 tsp of flour to the Reynolds® Oven Bag and place in a large roasting pan that is at least 2 inches deep

5. Carefully slide turkey into the oven bag, making sure the opening of the bag is facing the end of the roasting pan, and not facing up. The bag should be inside the pan, not hanging over the edges of the pan.

6. Close oven bag with the included nylon tie, and cut six 1/2 inch slits in the top of the bag

7. When your turkey reaches an internal temperature of 180°F in thickest part of the thigh, not touching the bone, remove from oven and let stand in oven bag for another 15 minutes. Cut open the top of the bag and carefully remove turkey from the bag, and place onto a cutting board. Lifting works well by inserting one carving fork into each end of the turkey.
