Summary
This is a simple way to prepare a moist turkey without stuffing. The secret ingredient is butter -- it enhances the bird's natural flavor. When the turkey is done, the juices may be used to prepare a gravy by adding cornstarch 1 tablespoon at a time until the liquid begins to thicken. This recipe is based on a 13 pound bird. Adjust as necessary.INGREDIENTS
13 pounds Foster Farms Fresh Whole Turkey
1/2 cup butter
1 cup water
USER NOTES & RATINGS
11/21/2006 Reviewed by Peter Newcomb
Just did a 17lb turkey but elected not to brine it as we watch our sodium intake and it turned out brown all over and the meat was moist and tender with a great flavor. We do a lot of rotisserie chickens all year and this was as good as one of those.
