Roast Turkey

There are many different opinions as to the best way to roast a turkey.
I like the old fashioned taste that only comes from sealing the juices
in the bird at a high temperature first, and then reducing the heat.
Here is mine.

Preheat oven to 450º. Prepare the bird ~ Brush turkey with melted butter or margarine. Place in oven uncovered. Immediately reduce temperature to 350º. Start basting after the first half hour of cooking.

Roasting Times

Up to 6 pounds
7-15 pounds
Over 16 pounds
20-25 minutes per pound
15-20 minutes per pound
13-15 minutes per pound
If you have stuffed your bird add an additional 5 minutes per pound to the above chart. Your turkey should brown nicely during roasting. Allow it to sit for about 20 minutes before carving.
