Notes: I add a stick of butter in cavity and omit the celery and onion.
Always thaw a frozen turkey in the refrigerator, not at room temperature. A 12-15 pound frozen turkey will take 2-3 days to thaw in the refrigerator. If pressed for time, this size turkey can be thawed in cold water in 6-9 hours. Be sure to change the water often.
The roaster oven cooks a turkey in less time than a regular oven, but use a meat thermometer to make sure turkey is thoroughly cooked.
Turkey cooked in a roaster oven will be very moist, but less brown than a traditionally roasted turkey. Seasoning rubs add flavor and enhance the appearance of a roaster oven cooked turkey.
