44-lb. Turkey, Collin's Family Style

My turkey cooking technique certainly isn't the way to go if you want to get the most gorgeous looking bird. It's my pleasure to pass this one along, from the Collins family.

(That's a 4-burner household stove oven)

Our friends baked their giant Boucher Farm turkey in the oven at 325f for 10-14 hours wrapped in foil and stuffed with clementines, oranges, lemon, garlic, onions and fresh herbs. The skin was loosened; salt, pepper and butter were slid underneath. The outside skin was also buttered.

The foil was removed for the last 2 1/2 hours. What a beautiful bird! I WILL be stealing the buttering tip for next year's turkey.
