THANKSGIVING TURKEY

Slow Roasting Turkey-- 

Salt and pepper the turkey and rub it down with olive oil and butter. 

Stuff the cavity with garlic, apple and celery. (There is no such thing as too much garlic)  

Place the turkey breast side down in the roasting pan - on a rack. This allows the juices to flow down into the breast meat. It will stay moist!

Cook 1 hour at 350 degrees. 
Reduce the temp to 200 degrees and cook 50 min per pound. (ie an 11 lb turkey will take 9 hours 10 min)

TIPS:

If you want to crisp the breast, turn the turkey over during the last hour.

If you put the turkey in later at night before bed, you'll wake up to a wonderful smelling house! This method allows for time to carve the meat, wrap it to warm later and free up an oven.

Don't forget to check that your oven doesn't automatically turn off after so many hours!!
