Categories     Turkey

Time 5h10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb (12 pd) whole turkey
6 Tbsp butter, divided
4 c warm water
3 Tbsp chicken bouillon, powder
2 Tbsp dried parsley
2 Tbsp dried minced onion
2 Tbsp seasoning salt

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Rinse and wash turkey. Discard the giblets, or add to pan if they are anyone's favorites. Place turkey in a Dutch oven or roasting pan. Separate the skin over the breast to make little pockets. Put 3 tablespoons of the butter on both sides between the skin and breast meat. This makes for very juicy breast meat. In a medium bowl, combine the water with the bouillon. Sprinkle in the parsley and minced onion. Pour over the top of the turkey. Sprinkle seasoning salt over the turkey. Cover with foil, and bake in the preheated oven 3 1/2 to 4 hours, until the internal temperature of the turkey reaches 180 degrees F (80 degrees C). For the last 45 minutes or so, remove the foil so the turkey will brown nicely.

I've been making this recipe for years and it's always a hit. The turkey is always moist and flavorful, and the stuffing is to die for. I highly recommend this recipe.

This recipe was a bit too time-consuming for me. I'm a busy working mom and I don't have a lot of time to spend in the kitchen. I would have liked a recipe that was quicker and easier to make.

This was the worst turkey I've ever had! The meat was dry and tough, and the skin was rubbery. The stuffing was also bland and tasteless. I would not recommend this recipe.

This recipe was easy to follow and the turkey turned out perfectly. The only thing I would change is to add more vegetables to the stuffing. It was a bit bland for my taste.

This recipe was easy to follow and the turkey turned out great. The only thing I would change is to use less butter in the stuffing. It was a bit too rich for my taste.
