Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 15 servings 1 (12 pound) whole turkey - thawed, neck and giblets removed ¼ cup vegetable oil, or as needed 5 apples, cored and quartered 5 pounds whole unpeeled apples Directions Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Unbind legs of turkey, if necessary. Pat turkey dry with paper towels. Place turkey into a roasting pan with a lid, and rub oil inside and outside turkey. Stuff body and neck cavity with apple quarters. Arrange whole apples around turkey in the roasting pan. Scatter any extra apple quarters into the pan. Cover the roasting pan. Roast in the preheated oven until skin is brown and the meat begins to separate from legs, 2 1/2 to 3 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the turkey breast should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). To further brown skin, remove the lid during the last 20 minutes of roasting. Use pan drippings for gravy, if desired. Cook's Notes Be sure not to use too large of a roasting pan. If using an aluminum (throw-away) roasting pan, tent aluminum foil over the turkey so that it does not touch the turkey, however, it is necessary to ensure that the aluminum foil is as "sealed" as possible. Baking time varies based on the size of the turkey and your oven. If in doubt, follow the rule of thumb of 15 minutes per pound of turkey, but start taking the temperature early, since I have found that this recipe cooks the bird remarkably fast. I never add salt to this recipe, even when making the gravy, but use your discretion!
