you heart me anyway!

I'll carefully loosen the skin from the meat and then reach in there and GENEROUSLY butter, salt, pepper, and some other spices... Then roast like above: high heat for a bit then loosly cover with foil and complete the roasting. Every so often I'll take the baster and re-coat the bird with the butter/juices from the pan.

Projekt's Weber method works well, too! I've also done them in my smoker, too.

agree with the spices inside..

18 quart will do up to 20 lb turkey. Smaller one 12-14 quart will do up to a 14 lb.

No problemo...one other tip i will mention thats not said in that link. If your roaster came with a bottom rack, use it. If it didnt, cover the bottom with onion wedges for the turkey to rest on so as not to stick or burn on the bottom if you are not using the roasting bag.

 

[twotonevert]

Not using the bag, but I do have the rack. Do I need to add water between the roaster and the roaster insert? Its a 17 quart roaster oven.

 

[NIGHTFLIGHT]

heres my advice dont do this

 

[Mr Brown]

If you roast it breast down it will stay moist.

Crap Eric, I did not see this till morning, according to directions, it should only take about 4 to 4 1/2 hours for a 14 lb bird. I plan to put mine on around 10am to be ready by 2 to 3. We are eating at 4, so if it is done before that, turn it down to 200 and let it rest.
