Dinner: Betty's Thanksgiving Roast Turkey

Betty demonstrates how to make a Thanksgiving Roast Turkey. This is a 12-pound frozen turkey, thawed in the refrigerator for 4 days, prepared with butter and salt, and then roasted in a covered roasting pan in the oven for 4 hours. During the last hour of roasting, the turkey is basted with its own juice occasionally. During the last half-hour of roasting, the lid of the roasting pan is removed to brown off the turkey. The turkey is done when a meat thermometer, inserted into the deepest part, reads 185 degrees. If you follow the instructions in this video, you will come out with a golden brown turkey with lots of delicious roast turkey and turkey stock for gravy for Thanksgiving Day! Let the cooked turkey rest for 15 to 20 minutes before carving. I will be uploading a video of my husband, Rick, carving the turkey tomorrow. Also, I will be making and uploading fat-free gravy from the turkey stock. Happy Thanksgiving Day from Betty and her family!!!
