Don’t pack the stuffing. If you’re
not planning to roast the bird
right away, chill stuffing before
filling bird.
HOW TO TRUSS Bind legs
and wings close to body of the
bird. After stuffing bird, skewer
neck skin to back. Fold wings so
tips hold neck skin. Close body
cavity opening with skewers and
cord. Tie legs to tail.
HOW TO ROAST Grease
skin with melted cooking fat.
Place bird breast down in shallow
pan. Unless bird has generous
layers of fat underneath the skin,
cover with rectangle of cheese
cloth or thin white cloth large
enough to cover top and sides.
Do not cover pan; do not add wat
er, use low temperature. When
bird is approximately three
fourths done, turn at s breast up,
and replace cloth.
Plan roasting schedule so tur
key is out of oven 15 to 25 minu
tes before serving. Bird absorbs
juices and is easier to carve.
