Instructions
1. Choose the correct pan for the turkey. The meat will need to be placed in a cooking pan at least 3 to 4 inches deep. This will hold the turkey juice effectively. Then preheat the oven at 325 degrees. The cooking time for the turkey needs to be approximately 15 minutes for each pound. A 20 lb. turkey will need to cook for about five hours.
2. Clean the turkey. You will need to remember to remove the plastic bag that the giblets and the neck are in. Sometimes, they do not come in a plastic bag. Place the turkey inside the pan. A lid or loose fitting tin foil should be placed over the turkey. In the last hour, remove the lid to brown the turkey.
3. Dress the turkey. For a golden brown skin, rub some butter evenly. Then add salt and pepper to taste. Other spices may be added, also. You may wish to use a dab of garlic, rosemary or seasoning salt. If adding other spices that contain salt, you may want to omit the plain salt. The flavor may be overpowering. Place the turkey into the preheated oven. Every hour use a turkey baster to keep the bird moist.
