Sick of dried up, flavourless turkey putting you into a coma every year? This recipe is not only a showstopper but most definitely the best dish you and your loved-ones have ever had. Thaw your turkey, add on a stick of melted butter, a pound of bacon, lots of dried rosemary and stick in the oven - a thanksgiving to remember! * Buy an unstuffed turkey to make it gluten-free and shorten cook time *
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 350℉.
2
Place thawed turkey into a roasting pan and pat the exterior dry with a paper towel.
3
Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat.
4
Brush butter over turkey (get into the nooks and crannies).
5
Sprinkle the entire turkey with salt and half the rosemary.
6
Basket-weave bacon over the entire turkey. Be sure to wrap the wings as well.
7
Crush and sprinkle the rest of dried rosemary over the bacon.
8
Tent the turkey in the roasting pan with aluminum foil and place in the oven for about 3 hours. Remove foil and cook another hour or so, until the thigh is cooked to 180℉ and the breast is cooked to 170℉.
9
Once cooked thoroughly, remove from heat and let rest for 15-30 minutes.
