Roast Turkey (Unstuffed)

1. 1

   Remove giblets from body and neck cavities of turkey.

2. 2

   Rinse turkey thoroughly, inside and out, and pat dry.

3. 3

   With a sandwich bag on your hand, smear mayonnaise all over turkey.

4. 4

   Cover loosely with foil.

5. 5

   If possible, place pan in oven so larger end of the bird is toward the back.

6. 6

   Bake at 325 degrees (175 C.), about 15 or 16 minutes per pound, until the proper internal temperature is reached (there are various opinions about this so I won't specify).

7. 7

   Remove foil near the end of cooking time to brown the bird more if necessary.

8. 8

   Use drippings to flavor and moisten stuffing baked separately in a casserole.

   Boil giblets to chop up and use in gravy made with turkey drippings.
