fool proof turkey
thaw turkey
take out and rinse (remove giblets and neck)
while turkey is coming to room temperature, mix together your stuffing
preheat oven to 350
stuff turkey
truss bird
rub olive oil on outside of bird
stick in oven for 1 hour
turn oven down to 180
insert thermometer in breast.
When breast gets to 165 everything else will be also.
this will take 8-10 hours for a good sized bird, but, the higher heat mixed with the olive oil will seal the skin, and the low cooking will raise the total temp well.
let rest and carve, it will be moist.
