Instructions for Roasting Fresh Turkey

We estimate 20 minutes per pound in a 350° oven.

Place 1" water in bottom of roasting pan, along with neck and giblets (if desired). Place aluminum foil tent with holes in it over the turkey. We highly recommend using a meat thermometer. Put thermometer in the heaviest part of the thigh. Check turkey every hour to hour and a half, basting and adding water to pan, if needed. When the temperature reaches 170°, remove foil to brown. When the turkey reaches 185°, it is done. ENJOY!
