Preparation:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In order to have a succulent turkey that is season all the way to the bone preparation must begin at least a day in advance. Once thawed place turkey in a sink or container big enough to allow it to be covered completely with water Remember to remove entrails and neck from the inside. Add 1\/4 cup of salt and \u00bd cup lemon juice to water don\u2019t be alarmed it takes a lot to season a turkey. Cover the container and allow to sit for 4-6 hours. Dice and crush garlic add salt, Italian seasoning, thyme and black pepper into a small bowl and mix. Remove turkey from water drain and place in baking\/roasting pan. Rub seasoning over turkey and inside allow to sit for 15 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pre-heat oven at 425 degrees, bake turkey for 2 hours covered with foil wrap. Remove foil, baste with the juice from the pan and continue to bake another 30 – 45 minutes uncovered at 325 degrees. Auntie Rie would tell me to take foil and wrap the tips of the wing and the bottom of the drumstick. I pondered this for a while, and then I asked her why. She said,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cChild you don\u2019t want to eat charcoal tips do you?\u201d At this point she would add the stuffing if she decide to bake it in the turkey. Turkey is done when the thigh joint easily slips out of socket.<\/span><\/p>\n
