Go with the baking bags.. they help the turkey cook faster and it's tastier.
Throw some celery, carrots and onion in the bottom with a little flour.
Pull the shit out of the turkey cavity and neck flap.
Rinse the inside out good.
Stick it in the bag. (stuff if you want to)
sprinkle rosemary, sage and thyme on top.
put some water in the bottom of the bag.
tie the bag closed with the little bag tie that's included in the pkg.
cut some holes in the top of the bag for venting.
then cook it for about 3 hours depending on size.
buy a meat thermometer to be sure it's done.
stick it in the thigh area.. if you stuffed it, also stick it in the stuffing to make sure the center is hot enough. the needle should go all the way to poultry. better to overcook it a little then under.
Enjoy.
