Recipe Introduction
a simple preparation for a smaller sized bird
List of Ingredients
1 (10-pound) turkey
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Several bay leaves
1 unpeeled head of garlic, split in half
2 cups hot water
3 tablespoons melted unsalted GFCF margarineRecipe
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
Season the turkey inside and out with the salt and pepper. Place several bay leaves and the garlic inside the body cavity. Place the turkey breast-side down on a rack in a roasting pan.
Pour the water in the bottom of the pan and roast 30 minutes. Turn breast-side up, brush the melted margarine on the breast, reduce the heat to 350 degrees, and roast 1 to 1 1/2 hours more, or until the juices run clear when the thigh joint is
pierced with a fork and the internal temperature in the thickest part of the meat reaches 165.
If the water evaporates before the turkey has finished roasting, add more hot water, to keep the turkey moist.
Allow it to stand 20 minutes before carving.
