Let’s dive into the details and get your oven preheated!

️ Ingredients You’ll Need:

• 1 plump turkey: The star of the show, ready to be coated in fiery goodness.
• 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour: A light dusting to help the Cheetos adhere.
• Oil or butter: Your choice of fat to brush onto the turkey for a golden finish.
• 1 large bag of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos: The secret ingredient that packs a punch of heat and cheesy flavor.
• Reynolds Kitchens® Oven Bags, Turkey Size: Your trusty companion for a perfectly cooked and juicy turkey.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Get your oven nice and toasty while you prepare the turkey.
2. Transform those Cheetos into fiery dust! Using a food processor or a zip-top bag and a rolling pin, crush the Cheetos until they resemble a fine powder. This will ensure even coating and maximum flavor.
3. Brush the turkey with oil or butter. This will help the Cheetos stick and give the turkey a beautiful golden brown color.
4. Coat the turkey with the crushed Cheetos. Don’t be shy! Make sure every inch of the turkey is covered in that fiery goodness.
5. Get your Reynolds Kitchens® Oven Bag ready. Add 1 tablespoon of flour to the bag and place it in a roasting pan that’s at least 2 inches deep. This will help create a moist cooking environment and prevent the Cheetos from burning.
6. Carefully slide the turkey into the oven bag. Make sure the opening of the bag is facing the end of the roasting pan, not up. The bag should be snug inside the pan, not hanging over the edges. Close the bag with the included nylon tie and cut six 1/2-inch slits in the top of the bag.
7. Let the oven do its magic! Cook the turkey until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F in several places. This will ensure it’s cooked through and safe to eat.
8. Rest and recover. Remove the turkey from the oven and let it sit in the oven bag for 15 minutes or until it’s cool enough to handle. This will allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a succulent and flavorful turkey.
9. Time to unveil your masterpiece! Cut open the top of the bag and carefully lift the turkey out. Place it in a large baking dish or pan with at least 2-inch sides.
10. Give it a final touch of crispiness. Return the turkey to the oven for 15 to 20 minutes to give the Cheetos coating a satisfying crunch.

‍ Tips and Tricks:

• For an extra kick of heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the crushed Cheetos.
