I'm a vegetarian, but after years of watching my brother and many friends, I came up with this method. It comes out very moist and everyone loves it.

- 1
Pre-heat oven to 350°F

Remove the neck and inner parts from the turkey.
- 4
Rinse the turkey inside and out. Pat dry.

Fill the skin pockets with the Crisco mixture.

While the turkey is in the bag which is in the pan, pour the wine over the Turkey.

Close the bag with the tie that is included in the roasting bag package. Tuck the ends of the bag under the turkey and make sure that none of the bag overlaps over the sides of the pan.
- 13
Cut six 1/2 inch holes in the bag so that steam may vent.

Roast for approximately 2 1/2 hours, basting with more wine (use a turkey baster through one of the slits) every 30 minutes until meat thermometer registers at least 185°F and the turkey is golden all over.

If you are cooking and storing the turkey before serving, let the turkey cool at least 1/2 hour, carve the turkey then make and additional batch of Crisco mixture and place in container on top of the turkey, seal and store in refrigerator no more than 2 days. Reheat in low temp oven (no more than 250f)
