List of Ingredients




Start at 7:30 a.m. to eat at 12 noon.

Salt defrosted turkey the night before.
In the morning place a big spoon of Crisco in the bottom of a a roaster pan (with a lid).
Place turkey with breasts up; no liquid. Put lid on roaster.
Start oven at 450 - 500 degrees.
Place roaster in preheated oven and listen until you hear the turkey cooking which is about an hour.
Turn oven down to 350 - 375 degrees--cook for 3 1/2 hours.
You have time to make gravy and serve at noon.
The high temperature seals the turkey and therefore is very moist.
