1 (18 pound) whole turkey
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 1/2 quarts turkey stock
8 cups prepared stuffing
Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Place rack in the lowest
position of the oven.
Remove the turkey neck and giblets, rinse the turkey, and pat dry with paper
towels. Place the turkey, breast side up, on a rack in the roasting pan.
Loosely fill the body cavity with stuffing. Rub the skin with the softened
butter, and season with salt and pepper. Position an aluminum foil tent over
the turkey.
Place turkey in the oven, and pour 2 cups turkey stock into the bottom of
the roasting pan. Baste all over every 30 minutes with the juices on the
bottom of the pan. Whenever the drippings evaporate, add stock to moisten
them, about 1 to 2 cups at a time. Remove aluminum foil after 2 1/2 hours.
Roast until a meat thermometer inserted in the meaty part of the thigh reads
180 degrees F (80 degrees C), about 4 hours.
Transfer the turkey to a large serving platter, and let it stand for at
least 20 to 30 minutes before carving. | S**8
