Ingredients:
- kosher salt , to taste
- freshly-ground pepper , to taste
- italian spices , to taste (optional)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- Remove neck and giblets from cavity of turkey; rinse well with cold water and pat dry.
- Using a pastry brush (or your hands), coat entire outside of turkey lightly but well with olive oil.
- Rub softened butter over the skin.
- Peel onions and slice thickly (about 1/2 ).
- Place onion slices in bottom of turkey roaster to form a 'bed'.
- Season turkey lightly all over with herbs and spices of choice. (I used kosher salt, freshly-ground pepper, McCormick's seasoned salt and Penzey's Italian seasonings. The gravy was fab!).
- Place turkey BREAST SIDE DOWN in roaster; cook at 450°F for 30 minutes.
- Remove from oven; reduce temperature to 325 degrees F.
- Carefully turn turkey so that breast is facing up. (I couldn't have handled this on my own. Luckily, a big, strong boy turned up just in time. Do make plans to have help on hand for this step, if necessary).
- Return turkey to oven and cook until done. (I think the recommended temp is now 165°F).
- Allow turkey to rest for at least 30 minutes before carving.
