Recipe instructions
- Best to use a fresh turkey. However, is using a frozen bird, ensure that it is not injected with sodium. Otherwise, you ll have an overly-salty bird.
- Wash turkey inside and out and pat dry. Use 1 tablespoon of salt for every 5 pounds (15-pounds would be 3 tablespoons).
- Sprinkle inside of turkey with salt.
- Place turkey on its back and salt breasts, concentrating in the center, where meat is thickest. It may take slightly more than a tablespoon. It should appear liberally seasoned, but not overly so. You can add other flavors if desired, like minced rosemary.
- Turn turkey on one side and sprinkle with salt, concentrating on thigh, using just over a tablespoon. Flip turkey over and salt the other side.
- Place turkey in a 2 O-gallon sealable plastic bag, press air out and seal tightly.
- Place turkey breast-side up in refrigerator. Chill 3 days, turning onto breast for final day.
- Remove turkey from bag. No salt should be visible on surface, but skin should be moist. Place turkey breast-side up on a plate. Refrigerate uncovered for at least 8 hours.
- On cooking day, preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Leave turkey at room temperature at least 1 hour.
- Brush turkey lightly with butter or oil.
- Roast turkey for 30 minutes, breast side down.
