Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. At least one night or up to two nights before cooking, season turkey inside and out with salt, garlic powder and poultry seasoning.
  2. Place in a plastic bag and refrigerate until day of cooking. This ensures that the bird is seasoned all the way through, like brining does, only better.
  3. On Turkey day, stuff turkey with your favorite stuffing recipe. Tie legs together and fold wings back behind themselves.
  4. Pat turkey dry, and rub olive oil all over bird. Sprinkle skin with Montreal Grill seasoning.
  5. Open up a large paper bag so the opening is facing you, and rub the inside bottom of the bag with a generous coating of butter.
  6. Turn bag over so butter is on top, and place bag in a pan on a rack.
  7. Cut a piece of aluminum foil to line the bottom of the bag. Crinkle it ip then spread it flat and spray with cooking spray to keep bird from sticking.
  8. Place turkey into the bag, fold opening of bag closed and staple shut.
  9. Place turkey into a COLD oven. (DO NOT PREHEAT!).
  10. Turn the heat to 500 degrees. and roast for exactly one hour.
  11. Tuen heat down to 400 Degrees, toast one hour longer.
  12. Turn heat down to 300 degrees and roast one additional hour.
  13. Remove turkey from oven. Total cooking time is 3 hours regardless of the size of the turkey.
  14. The bag will look and smell charred, but the butter keeps the bag from burning and the bird will be perfect.
  15. Tear away paper bag in pieces and let turkey rest for at least 20 minutes before carving. But the longer rest, the better.
