Thanksgiving Turkey Unstuffed Recipe

	Onyxfox / All my dishes 2 months, 1 week ago This is my Father-In-Law's recipe for Thanksgiving Turkey. It's quite simple and every year I do this, the bird always comes out juicy, tender and a nice shade of brown. Prep:15m Cook:240m Servings:7	Onyxfox

Ingredients

1 stick of butter

Onion salt

Pepper

Turkey

Directions

Thaw 1 week before using. Rinse with water and remove insides.

Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Melt 1 stick of butter on stovetop. Brush melted butter onto bird and dash onion salt and pepper on top. Take aluminum foil and make a tent (make sure not to touch the bird), folding the 2 sides of tent onto pan. Place in oven for 15 minutes, then reduce temperature to 325F degrees.

Cook (unstuffed) 4 to 4 1/2 hours. Check it every hour, basting it. With 1 hour to go, check it more often, observing temperature and color.

With 30 minutes to go, remove tent.

Temperature depends on size of bird, check instructions that come with it. I always use Butterball Turkeys.
