Steps:
- butter: Blend all ingredients in processor until bacon is finely chopped. Transfer to sheet of plastic wrap. Using plastic wrap as aid, roll butter mixture into 2-inch-diameter log; chill until firm. DO AHEAD: Keep chilled. Preheat over to 450 degrees F. Cut bacon butter into 1/4-inch-thick rounds and let stand at room temperature 20 minutes. Rinse turkey inside and out; pat dry. Starting at neck end, carefully slide ½ of the butter between skin and breast meat, then slide hand between skin and thigh meat. Carefully slide butter slices between skin and leg, thigh, and breast meat to cover). Sprinkle 1 teaspoon coarse salt and 1 teaspoon pepper, and paprika over turkey, and 1 teaspoon coarse salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in main cavity of turkey. Place turkey on rimmed baking sheet. Can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled. Put tukey in a Reynolds oven bag. Melt rest of butter and add 1 bottle of white wine. Cut Cheese cloth into 3 17 in rectangles. Soak cheese cloth in wine and butter mixture. Cover turkey with the cheese cloth. Close oven bag. Place turkey, legs first, in oven. Cook for 30 minutes. Using a pastry brush, baste cheesecloth and exposed parts of turkey with butter and wine. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F, and continue to cook for 2 1/2 more hours, basting every 30 minutes and watching pan juices; if the pan gets too full, spoon out juices, reserving them for gravy. After this third hour of cooking, carefully remove and discard cheesecloth. Turn roasting pan so that the breast is facing the back of the oven. Baste turkey with pan juices. If there are not enough juices, continue to use butter and wine. The skin gets fragile as it browns, so baste carefully. Check Temp, if turkey is 180 (stuffing should be 140-160) turkey is done lower oven temp to 150 degrees. Continue basting every ½ hour if turkey is done but it is not time to eat. If turkey is not not 180 degrees, Cook 1 more hour, basting after 30 minutes.
