Wash it with cold water, in and out. Season the cavity with salt and pepper. Stuff the cavity with bread, onion, sausage, grated apple, salt, poultry seasoning dressing. Stuff the neck in to hold dressing in. Season turkey, dab with butter and cover loosely with foil. Bake at 350 ...cook for 15 per pound. After a couple of hours , baste it with its own juices then keep foil off so the skin will get brown and crispy.

I definitely don't suggest deep frying if this is your first time making a turkey. Those need to be watched at all times and they can be dangerous if not handled right.
I would suggest buying a cheap roaster pan (I use the aluminum ones that always go on sale around this time) Then get a Reynolds Turkey Bag and put it in there. It's pretty much ahrd to mess up when you do it that way. Unless you over cook it/under cook it.
I did that for my first time last year and it was perfect.

Good times! I cooked my first turkey last year, too! It was juicy, delicious and beautiful, even. I got one of those bags and a turkey baster. Cook the turkey in the bag, I believe its made by Reynolds. Be sure to use the baster to squeeze juices onto the turkey as it cooks. DO NOT overcook it. Follow the directions on the box. Happy Thanksgiving!

They sell theses cooking bags where you just place the turkey in the bag (pre season and stuff the turkey to your desire first), cook according to the directions on the turkey (timer on turkey should pop out when done). You will have a very juicy delicious turkey......Good Luck

My newlywed spouse and that i've got been information superhighway hosting a Thanksgiving the final couple years for our friends in school that don't pass living house for the holiday. We oftentimes initiate by rubbing a butter/herb blend everywhere in the chicken (some parsley, and regardless of your decision. Salt will draw out the moisture so don;t use that for the rub). don't be afraid to cover the element and get your hands in there. they are going to be slimy and coated in butter-that's stable. Then cover it with foil. the least confusing way is to apply 2 sheets that meet contained in the midsection. once you pass to baste it, that's plenty less difficult to open contained in the midsection-only fold the sheets mutually as quickly as over. once you place it into the oven, don;t shop messing with it. shop the exterior juicy by basting each and every 30-40 5 minutes. there will be juices from the turkey yet you will probably might desire to apply butter (melted) that became into left over from rubbing the turkey. while the exterior starts off to corporation up/approximately one hour till now finished cooking, take the foil off and look ahead to the little crimson button to pop or the right temp as measured contained in the breast and faraway from the bones. We cook dinner the stuffing one by one yet my mom/grandma constantly cooked the stuffing contained in the chicken. on occasion the stuffing soaks up the juices nonetheless. you may constantly use the leftover juices from cooking the chicken to function to the stuffing for greater style. fat constantly tastes stable. only ask Paula Dean. wish that facilitates. stable thought on the trial run. Oh ya-use a roaster pan, with an insert on the backside to strengthen the turkey off the backside

dont watch martha stewart. i watched her one year and she burned the hell out of her turkey, while mine turned out delicious. the best bet is to just buy one of those bags and a turkey. the bag helps lock in moisture, and i wont tell you a whole bunch of stuff to add, because i think you should start with the basics your first time out.

For rookies I suggest deep-frying the turkey. It's the easiest and fastest - especially if you aren't watching the calories.
