Roast a whole Turkey


How to cook the turkey at Thanksgiving

A 20 pound unstuffed turkey takes 2 hours in the roaster.

The math works out to 6 minutes per pound. Adjust accordingly.

Check with meat thermometer. 180 in leg. 170 in breast.

USDA says turkey is done at 165. Remove from the oven at 160 and let it sit until it is 165.

Salt the cavity before you add: a sliced apple and sliced onion
Slice a cube of butter and shove the pats under the turkey skin.
