Notes: I heard about this way of cooking a turkey in 2010, when talking to a work colleague, I was so intrigued, I searched it on the internet and verified it was a valid way of cooking a turkey. I cooked the turkey this way for Christmas 2010 and it was great... no basting and a perfect turkey. After talking to Aunt Rita, I found out that our Grandmother Rose used to cook the turkey this way all the time. A bonus, cooking the turkey in our families traditional way with no basting!!!
