Recipe instructions
- Two days before serving, rinse turkey and pat dry.
- Rub all over with kosher salt, including under the skin, where possible, and in the cavities (use 1 tablespoon per 4 pounds of turkey).
- Wrap turkey in a large plastic bag and place in the refrigerator.
- On the second night, turn turkey over.
- Before cooking, remove turkey from the refrigerator and bring to room temperature.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
- Pat chicken dry and season the main cavity with half the pepper.
- Place thyme, parsley, half the onion and half the apples in the main cavity and truss legs with kitchen twine.
- Put remaining apples and onion in the neck opening.
- Rub butter under breast skin and onto thigh meat.
- Sprinkle turkey with remaining pepper.
- Roast for 30 minutes.
- Remove turkey from oven, reduce heat to 350 degrees and cover breast and wing tips with foil.
- Add a cup and a half of water or white wine to bottom of roasting pan and roast for another two hours, depending on size; about 12 minutes per pound.
- Remove foil in last half-hour so breast browns.
- A meat thermometer, inserted in the thigh, should register 160 degrees F when the turkey is done.
- Remover turkey to a serving platter or cutting board and cover with foil and a damp kitchen towel and let rest about 30 minutes.
- Pour fat and drippings from pan into a measuring cup. Deglaze pan with white wine or broth and pour that into same measuring cup. Fat and drippings can then be used to make gravy.
