Roast Turkey
Ingredients
1 turkey, 8 to 12 lb.
butter, melted
stuffing of choice
Directions
Wash and dry the turkey. Prepare your favorite stuffing or you might like to try one of these:
Stuff the turkey body cavity and neck cavity with the stuffing. Place the turkey, breast side up, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Brush with melted butter.
Roast in a slow oven (325 degrees) for 3-1/2 to 4-1/2 hours or until a drumstick joint moves easily or a meat thermometer temperature registers 185 degrees with the bulb in the thickest part of a thigh, not touching a bone.
Remove the turkey from the oven and allow to stand for 20 minutes. Remove the stuffing and serve in a separate serving dish.
