Thanks giving roast turkey recipe

Thawing a Turkey

Ideally you should buy the turkey one or two days before Thanksgiving in order to assure it’s freshness.
If you buy the turkey and will only prepare it the on the day after, just place it in the refrigerator.
When removing it from the refrigerator let it settle for 30 – 40 minutes to room temperature.

Recipe Ingredients

• 1 whole turkey
• 1 stick of butter
• Pepper and salt
• Dressing that will stuff the turkey

Roasting Your Turkey

1. Pre-heat your oven to 425 degrees
2. Make sure your pan has something that will allow the turkey not to stick to it
3. Place the turkey in the roasting pan with breasts down
4. Cover the turkey with aluminum foil and place it in the oven
5. Check on your turkey every 15 minutes to make sure it’s not too dry. If it seems to dry baste the turkey with butter or some of the juice from the pan.
6. Your turkey should be ready in 30 minutes or when it reaches 165ºF

When your turkey is done let it set outside the oven for about 20 minutes before cutting it and serving it.
