    Turkey Directions: Heat oven to 325°F. Remove and discard neck and giblets from turkey. Rinse turkey inside and out with cold water; pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle cavity of turkey with salt.

    Spoon stuffing loosely into neck and body cavities of turkey. Place any remaining stuffing in lightly buttered casserole; cover and refrigerate to bake as side dish. Turn wings back and tuck tips over shoulder joints. Refasten drumsticks with metal piece or tuck under skin at tail. Fasten neck skin to back with skewers.
  • Step 
    3
    Place turkey, breast side up, in roasting pan. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of inside thigh and does not touch bone. Spoon margarine over turkey. Do not add water or cover.

    Bake until temperature reads 165°F and drumsticks move easily when lifted or twisted. Use "Timetable for Roasting Turkey" below. If necessary, cover turkey breast with tent of foil during last 1 1/2 to 2 hours of baking to prevent excessive browning.
