Culinary Corner: The Perfect Thanksgiving Turkey- The classic recipe

By Courtney Jones

Are you tired of your Thanksgiving turkey coming out dry or worse yet, still kind of frozen?

Then give this recipe a try.

Ingredients:

● 1 turkey

● Paper towels

● Salt

● Seasoning salt

● Tin foil

● Vegetable oil

● Choice of any type of stuffing

Instructions:

1. Run turkey, in and out, under cold water.

2. Pat dry with paper towels.

3. Rub salt on turkey.

4. Stuff turkey on both ends.

5. Lightly rub vegetable oil on turkey.

6. Sprinkle seasoning salt on turkey.

7. Create a loose, tent-like structure with tin foil and place it on top of the turkey.

Cooking Directions:

1. For the first 20 minutes, cook the turkey at 400 degrees.

2. For the remainder of the time, cook the turkey at 325 degrees.

Hint: 1 pound = 20 minutes

For example, if the turkey weighs 20 pounds, then it should be cooked for 400 minutes, or a little

over 6 hours.

Pull the turkey out, carve and enjoy.
