Perfect Turkey

Things you need

a turkey

roasting pan-

with or with out rack, I prefer a rack, that way the bird stays out of the liquid but many put the bird directly on the bottom of the pan and have much successes

small bowl

spoon

paper bag-

these have become increasingly difficult to find, but if you ask you will find a large (brown or craft) paper bag large enough to do the trick.

mayonnaise

many brands are out there, Cains is made in New England.

What to do

Preheat oven to 325

Remove giblets from cavities and rinse thoroughly with cool water

Put two or three soup spoons of mayonnaise in small bowl and with hands smooth mayonnaise all over turkey

Put in paper bag and place in roasting pan I staple bag closed but folding under can work as well

Roast for approximately 15 minutes per pound

If you like a brown skin, slit but do not remove, the bag the last 45 minutes of roasting

Remove from oven and let rest 20 minutes before carving

Enjoy
