Line roasting pan w/foil both ways with enough foil to fold over bird. Put bird in pan, lay bacon on breasts & legs. Fold over foil, make vent holes in corners. Bake @ 450 degrees, last 30 minutes of cooking time, fold back foil to brown removing bacon. Weight & cooking times: 8-10 lbs for 2 1/4 to 2 1/2 hrs; 10-12 lbs for 2 3/4 to 3 hrs; 14-16lbs for 3 to 3 1/4 hrs; 18-20 lbs for 3 1/4 to 3 1/2 hrs; 22-24 lbs for 3 1/2 to 3 3/4 hrs. Let turkey rest for 30 minutes with a foil tent on top before cutting. This is the most tender moist turkey cooked in the least amount of time or effort. I have been cooking my turkeys this way since 1971 & it never fails to come out perfect everytime. Enjoy!

I have never cooked a turkey at that high of a temp before it seems really high. The general rule of thumb is 325 degrees for 18-20 minutes per pound

Although it does sound interesting. I prefer the old fashion way the smell of it cooking for hours is awesome.
