Roast Turkey

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

2. 2

   Place a rack into a roasting pan or gather some onions, celery and carrots to put in the bottom of the roasting pan. You don't want the turkey sitting directly on the roasting pan.

3. 3

   Place turkey onto the rack (or on top of the vegetables) and blot the turkey with paper towels until dry.

4. 4

   Rub the turkey with oil, salt and pepper. Stuff with lemons and onions.

5. 5

   Bake in the preheated oven for 3-5 hours, depending on how large your turkey is, tenting the turkey with foil 2/3's of the way through. The turkey is done when it is golden brown and the juices run clear. Using a meat thermometer, the breast meat should register at 170 degrees F and the thigh meat at 175-180 degrees F. Let turkey rest for 15 minutes after removing it from the oven. Then carve and enjoy!
