Directions:Take the giblets and neck out of turkey cavity. Place in pot and simmer while bird is roasting.
Stuff a quartered onion, celery sticks and peeled carrot inside of the turkey. Rub skin with butter.
Set up roasting pan with V rack. Place turkey breast side down.
Upside down is the best way to cook all poultry, start out the oven on 500 degrees for the first 20 - 25 minutes, then lower the heat to about 350º - 375 º for the remaining cooking time. this helps to sear and seal in the wonderful juices.
Roast turkey about 20 minutes per lb, until a meat thermometer registers 175° F when inserted into thickest part of the thigh (or when thigh and leg fall easily away when pulled). Remove turkey from oven. Let turkey stand 20 minutes before carving.
Gravy
