`

Defrost in refrigerator, when completely defrosted (1 to 2 days) wash the Turkey

under cool water inside & out, taking out the Giblet pack and removing the neck.

You should have a roasting pan clean and ready. Set the bird in it.

`

Cut up in quarters 1 to 2 Onions

Cut up 2 stalks of Celery into about 1 to 2 inch size

Season inside of Turkey with Seasoning Salt, Garlic Powder, & Pepper... (or any

other Seasoning you want).

Place Onion & Celery inside cavity of neck, and some in the body cavity.

Turn Turkey where neck cavity is closed down and ... (for some take your hand

and cover the Turkey with Butter / margarine on the outside) season outside of

Turkey as you did the inside.

`

If you have a rack, it's better to place your bird on it, but if you don't it's ok.

If your Turkey is quite large, cover it completely with foil.
