Traditional Turkey

Traditional Turkey
From the kitchen of Stephanie Douvas

1 Turkey (any size, but this year it was 24.5 lbs)
1 cup butter Salt and Pepper to taste
1-2 whole onions
 Celery
Garlic
 Turkey Stock

1. Clean turkey and pat dry
2. Stuff cavity with as many onions, garlic and celery as possible
3. Massage butter into the turkey, put a little in the cavity, and in the creases of the legs
4. Pour enough turkey stock in the bottom of the pan to be about a ¼ inch high
5. Cover turkey with heavy duty foil and put in oven at 350 (for my turkey this year it will be about 5 hours)
6. Last hour to hour and a half remove foil to allow turkey to become beautifully golden (cook until internal temp reaches 165)
