Plump 16-18lb turkey
(good for a family dinner)
Salt
Chopped fresh rosemary
Chopped fresh thyme
Clean and dry the turkey thoroughly inside and out. Remove giblets and turkey neck (save these parts for the gravy!) Rub the turkey with salt, chopped fresh rosemary and thyme on the outside and in the cavity. Pack the stuffing (recipe to follow) loosely in the cavity and tie the skin with string over the opening.
Remember when roasting stuffed turkey it will take longer to cook than unstuffed. For a stuffed 16 -18 pound turkey it will take four to four and a half hours on 375f.
