Brown Paper Bag Turkey

How the Callahan's traditionally roast their Thanksgiving turkey. Works well for a 12-24# bird. The bag won't burn unless it's touching an element. Never hurts to unplug the smoke detector first, though.

Stuff turkey, if desired. Rub outside with plenty of room temperature butter and salt.

Place turkey in brown paper grocery bag and seal opening. Stapling works well.
Place in roasting pan in a cold oven.

Set oven to 500' for the first hour.
400' for the 2nd hour.
300' for the 3rd hour.

If your bird is 18# or more, add 15 minutes at 400' and an additional 30 minutes at 300"
