Ingredients

7.5 kg

Frozen Stuffed Turkey

1 Stick

Unsalted Butter

1 tsp

Kosher Salt

1 Tbsp

Dried Rosemary

500 g

Thick-Cut Bacon

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350℉.

Place thawed turkey into a roasting pan and pat the exterior dry with a paper towel.

Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat.

Brush butter over turkey (get into the nooks and crannies).

Sprinkle the entire turkey with salt and half the rosemary.

Basket-weave bacon over the entire turkey. Be sure to wrap the wings as well.

Crush and sprinkle the rest of dried rosemary over the bacon.

Tent the turkey in the roasting pan with aluminum foil and place in the oven for about 3 hours. Remove foil and cook another hour or so, until the thigh is cooked to 180℉ and the breast is cooked to 170℉.

Once cooked thoroughly, remove from heat and let rest for 15-30 minutes.
