Directions:
1 to 2 days before serving: Make sure the giblets (usually in a bag) are removed from the turkey's cavity. Sprinkle all over with the salt using about 1 Tbsp. per 4 pounds of bird. Loosely cover with plastic and replace non then fridge for 1 to 2 days and until 4 to 5 hours before you want to serve it.

1 to 2 hours before roasting: Remove plastic and discard any juices that have collected around the bird. Put bird in roaster on rack. Let come to room temperature which will take 1 to 2 hours. No need to rinse any salt off the bird-it's all as it should be.

2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours before serving (or cook a couple of days ahead per instructions below): Heat over to 450º. Roaster should set on lower level of oven's racks.

Toss the onions with a splash of oil and sprinkle around the turkey.

Mix all but maple syrup and chili paster in a small bowl, whisking until smooth. Brush this (or use your hands) all over the turkey, leaving none behind.
