My daughter wanted to try her hand at the big bird this year so grandpa went and got his baby a turkey. Because im not comfy with her using the oven, she got to use an old fashioned table roaster which works quite well might i add. Her bird came out great.

Steps

1

First pull all the insides out your bird and keep for stock, gravy or dressing (stuffing) if you like. She just discarded them. Wash and pat the bird dry.
2

Next mix your butter with your seasonings and mix mix mix. Once completely mixed, run your finger between the skin and breast meat to loosen up the skin. Place one tablespoon of the mixture under the skin and rub to spread around. Smear the remaining butter over the bird and place in the roaster set at 300. Cook for about 2 hours and check for doneness. Now the bird wont brown to well so you can put it i the oven to brown some. Your bird will be fall off the bone tender when thru. Hope you enjoy her recipe.
