Turkey question! I'm a big fan of a turkey back.... how would you arrange the shallots to accommodate for a turkey bag? In the bag? Added to the pan outside the back later in the cooking process?

Turkey question! I'm a big fan of a turkey back.... how would you arrange the shallots to accommodate for a turkey bag? In the bag? Added to the pan outside the back later in the cooking process? I'm also v curious to know how you feel about bird-bags in general. PS: Thanks for the lead time on the recipes. We celebrate Friends-giving in Australian the Saturday before Thanksgiving and I'm totally using these recipes :)
Put the shallots in the bag alongside the turkey. You want them to mingle and steam with the juices for full flavor. Outside the bag they will still cook and get Jammie, but wont absorb as much 'juice', and added after will simply be covering them with juice. Not terrible either way, but you really want the flavor throughout [within?] them.
I don't know her answer, but if your a fan of bag, use it. (Her video seems to dictate her method, but she also always promotes everyone to just cook and tweak as you want and do what makes you happy). I tried once and my only issue is the skin didn't crisp the way I wanted, and it's another step to mess with. I've seen so many recipes and videos for making turkey, and never read/saw one that promoted a bag.
