Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Take giblets and neck out of turkey (Save for gravy.) Wash inside and out and dry with paper towels.

Place turkey in large roasting pan. Sprinkle cavity with salt and pepper, and stuff with onion, lemon, thyme, sage and celery
Brush outside of turkey with melted butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper

Roast turkey for 4 hours, or until temperature between thigh and leg registers about 175-180 degrees (Ithink it's about 12 minutes per pound)

Remove turkey from oven and cover loosely with foil for 20 minutes
Carve
