Using an electric covered roasting pan with a cup or two of broth or water at the bottom always lead to a moist fully cooked turkey. Using an oven and dry heat can lead to a dry bird. Either way, you must baste the bird every 20 minutes or so and it takes about 3.5 to 4 hours to fully cook a 12 to 14 lb turkey.

Serves/Makes: 8
Ready in: 2-5 hrs

  • 12 pounds whole turkey
  • 1 package (6 ounce size) dry bread stuffing mix
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 4 slices toasted white bread, torn into small pieces
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Rinse turkey, remove giblets and place in a shallow roasting pan.

Prepare stuffing according to package directions. Mix in water.

Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, and slowly cook and stir the celery and onion until tender.

Mix celery, onion, and toasted bread pieces into the stuffing, and season with salt and pepper. Loosely scoop stuffing into the turkey body cavity and neck cavity. Rub the exterior of the turkey with vegetable oil.

Loosely cover turkey with aluminum foil, and roast 3 1/2 to 4 hours in the preheated oven, until the thickest part of the thigh reaches 180 degrees F and the interior of the stuffing reaches 165 degrees F.

Remove foil during the last half hour of cooking to brown the bird. Let bird sit outside of oven for 10 minutes before slicing.
