Perfect Turkey

It's Christmas time and we always cook a Turkey! After many a discussion at and around Thanksgiving, my mom finally gave my "cooking the turkey" a try- I was told it was perfect... so why not pass it on... here you go, enjoy :) and most of all MERRY CHRISTMAS

Roast the turkey on lowest level of the oven at 500 degrees F for 30 minutes. Insert a probe thermometer into thickest part of the breast and reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Set the thermometer alarm (if available) to 161 degrees F. A 14 to 16 pound bird should require a total of 2 to 2 1/2 hours of roasting. Let the turkey rest, loosely covered with foil or a large mixing bowl for 15 minutes before carving


Most if the turkeys are less!!!! Check w thermometer after an hr and every 1/2 after that!! ;)
