We are getting close to turkey day!   Lets put here some recipes for turkey and also for what to do with turkey leftover meat Tks

This is how I cook my Turkey:

1.  Make a brine with 1 c salt, 1 c brown sugar , rosemary and 2 gallons of water. 
2.  Remove neck, giblets from the cavity of turkey. Rinse the turkey inside and out.
3.  Soak in the brine, cover and refrigerated for 1-2 days (turning it once)
4.  Remove from brine, pat dry with paper towels
5.  Place breast side down in a large roasting pan.
6.  Rub all sides with butter
7.  Stuff the turkey
8.  Roast breast side down for 1 hour
9.  Remove from oven, turn turkey and baste with 1/2 c stock.
10. Continue roasting with breast side up until 165 degrees F (it will take about 15 - 20 minutes per pound) also baste often
11. Remove from oven and place on a platter. Tent with aluminum foil and let it rest for 20 minutes before carving

PS:If you have purchased a frozen turkey, you  will need to allow 3-5 days for it to thaw on the refrigerator. Generally, thawing takes 24 hours for every 4-5 pounds of bird
