Use a Reynold's cooking bag (turkey size). Follow the directions on the box, IT'S VERY EASY!
Wash the bird. Pat the bird dry with paper towels. Massage th bird with melted or softened butter. Season the turkey with seasoned salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and poultry seasoning.
Put a little flour in the roasting bag and shake it up.
Put the turkey in the bag.
Put a LARGE peeled onion INSIDE the bird.(it'll keep it moist)
Close and tie the bag up. Poke a few holes at the TOP of the bag so steam can escape.
Put the turkey in the oven on a baking pan until it's ready.
You can baste it after it is done cooking if you like.
Depending on the size of your turkey cooking times will vary.
EASY, and it'll be moist, tender, and delicious!

It has to be thawed first (and when it is, check inside the cavity and take out the giblet bag containing the heart, liver, gizzard, and neck).
Cook breast-side up on a rack in a roasting pan (you can get one of those disposable aluminum ones cheap) at 325 degrees for 20 minutes per pound of turkey. An extra 20 to 30 minutes won't hurt.
If skin on breast and legs starts to turn too dark towards the end of cooking, place some aluminum foil over it.
That's the simplest. You don't need to salt or pepper it.
Stuffing and gravy are pretty simple too, but you didn't ask for that.

If you do not have your turkey yet, buy one of the new types that is frozen with the stuffing inside the bird. DO NOT DEFROST. Read the directions...they will tell you to put the frozen turkey in the oven and how long to cook it. I have a cyber friend who has cooked several of these new type of frozen turkeys and she says they turn out perfectly and are delicious. There are also smoked turkeys, read directions on how to heat. There are precooked turkeys, read directions on how to heat. For just a regular turkey, read directions before you buy it. The packages have all the information you need. Ask a clerk to help you if you need it. By the way, most people no longer stuff their turkeys. To make it look pretty, stuff with cut in half onions or oranges. Happy Thanksgiving to you.

Saw it last night on Food Network... get some turkey breasts (not the whole thing). Line the bottom of a roasting type pan with a little olive oil and bay leaves. Put in your turkey, bake for an hour or however long it takes. Garnish with parsley etc and season however you like. Easy, quick and looked pretty tasty!

this is simple and yummy
Rosemary-Herb Roasted Turkey
Ingredients:
1 thawed, frozen or fresh turkey, 12-18 pounds
1 large lemon, sliced
1 large onion, cut into wedges
2-3 fresh thyme sprigs
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons Rosemary Herb Seasoning Mix
Directions:
1.Preheat oven to 325°F. Remove neck and giblets from body and neck cavities; cook and reserve for use in stuffing or gravy, if desired. Rinse turkey inside and out; pat dry with paper towels. Lift wing tips up toward neck, then tuck under back of turkey. Place lemon, onion and thyme inside body cavity. Tie ends of legs together with cotton string. Place turkey, breast side up, on rack in Roasting Pan.
2.Brush skin with oil using Chef's Silicone Basting Brush. Sprinkle with seasoning mix. Roast turkey 3-4 hours or until Pocket Thermometer registers 180°F in thickest part of thigh and juices run clear. (To prevent overcooking, loosely cover breast with aluminum foil when turkey is about two-thirds done. Check for doneness about 30 minutes before turkey is expected to be done.)
3.Remove turkey from oven; let stand 20 minutes. Using Meat Lifters, carefully remove turkey from Roasting Pan to Reversible Bamboo Carving Board. Cut string from legs and discard. Carve turkey using Carving Set.

Every turkey comes with directions on the packaging. Works for me every time. Don't forget to take the bird out of the freezer so its completely thawed. You should have taken it out 2 days ago.

Take the frozen turkey out of the box, and stick it in the oven for 2 hours or till it turns brown.
