"The Frugal Gourmet's delicious recipe. Don't use cooking sherry- use good drinking sherry. This makes a beautiful and tender bird- and no brining in needed. The Frug said the cook until the thigh reaches 180- new recommendations call for a final cooking thigh temperature of 165F, for the most tender bird. If just making a turkey breast, the temperature should be 160F. This recipe is for a small turkey-I would increase the amounts of everything for a larger bird."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Clean the bird and remove the giblets.
Step 2
Salt and pepper the bird both inside and out then stuff , if you wish.
Step 3
Secure and tie up the bird with baking string - tie the wings to the body and the legs together - place on a V-rack in a roaster.
Step 4
Mix the sherry and the melted butter together - using a flavor injector syringe, inject this mixture into each of the legs, the thighs and the breasts- just put a bit in 2 or 3 places in each of the mentioned parts.
Step 5
Rub the bird skin with a bit more melted butter( or oil).
Step 6
Bake the bird at 325F uncovered, basting 2 or 3 times with its own juice, for approximately 15 minutes per pound ( unstuffed) - if you are stuffing the bird, add 1 extra hour - A meat thermometer in the thigh should read 165F ( stuffing also should be 165F)
Step 7
Let the bird rest at least 30 minutes before carving.
