Ingredients




15.5 lb turkey
8 oz bacon
Batter:
1 lb butter
zest and juice from 1 lemon
2 tbsp olive oil
bunch of parsley
4-5 cloves of garlic
salt & black pepper taste
Stuffing:
1 of each onion, apple, lemon

Preparation

1 Let's make a flavored batter. Put a room temperature butter, season it with salt and ground black pepper, add zest and juice from 1 lemon. Add olive oil and mix it well, then add parsley and garlic and mix it thoroughly again. Form a few rolls and set them aside. 2 Now it's bird's turn. Gently loose the skin with your fingers, so the batter could be stuck underneath it. Be cautious, don't completely break it. Season with salt and pepper. Massage well. Now start placing the batter under the skin and then just batter over the breasts, legs and wings. 3 Place turkey, breast side up, in roasting pan. 4 Stuff the turkey with onion, apple and lemon. 5 Cross the turkey legs and tie with skin or rope. 6 Use the last roll of batter to go over the breasts, legs and wings one more time. Generously paint with olive oil. 7 Here is a tip how to avoid burned wings. Either protect them with the foil or just hide them underneath the turkey by folding them. 8 Pre-heat the oven to 325F.  Roast turkey uncovered for time indicated in chart of the package or until juices run clear. 9 The turkey is a lean meat, so keep it moist by pouring juices over it. 10 When turkey is golden brown (it takes after approximately 40 minutes in the oven), take the bird out and place the bacon on the breasts to naturally grease the bird and prevent it from burning. 11 When turkey is done, remove from the oven. Cover it loosely with aluminum foil. Let stand 30 minutes before carving.
