Super Easy Thanksgiving Turkey - 11/10/20 12:47 AM
You can't screw this up.... I promise
Put your turkey where it can thaw to room temp. The night before Thanksgiving, take the unwrapped turkey, remove the giblets, and rub down the whole outside of the turkey with butter. Then liberally dust the entire outside and inside of the turkey with plain table salt. Put the turkey breast down in a covered roasting pan with a quarter inch of water then cover and bake at 200 degrees for 10 hours. Remove and serve (it will be too tender and juicy to remove whole from the pan)
This turkey recipe is in an old family cookbook and is how my family has been cooking turkey for many, many years. It sounds like a lot of salt but its not and it makes the turkey savory and flavorful. You wont be disappointed.
