>My favorite Turkey recipe involves cutting the Turkey into its major parts, remove as much skin as possible, rub butter on all the surfaces, add your favorite condiments, and cook at 275 degrees F, until done. It takes about 3 hours for a 14 pound bird to cook to its proper internal temperature. It turns out to be very juicy, due to the low cooking temperature.

HI tom

I usually cook it upside down ona low heat. Keeps the breast moister. Then last night i took all the remaining meat off the carcasse and put the bones and skin in a pot to stew down to make soup/stock . By the time I'm done there's little left to throw away.
