Turkey

How long do you cook a 14.5 lb bird?

What do you put on yours?

There's really no one exact time. This is a good reference: http://southernfood.about.com/library/info/bltrkeya.htm

Usually just butter and salt on the outside, rub the inside with sage and a little allspice and stick two or three sprigs of rosemary inside, maybe an orange or a lemon.

someone suggested a garlic clove to J so we are going to try that inside and then butter, sage, salt, pepper, and rosemary.

I always season it just never bake it

I never think about garlic because it's not a big favorite of mine -- I rarely use it at all because it's just an overpowering taste to me, and not one I particularly like, or like to smell cooking, lol.

We always do the 2 hr turkey recipe but I'm not a cook so I can't do details.

I always put garlic and lemon inside my chickens and turkeys. Butter, Sea salt and pepper on the outside with whatever seasoning mix I have on hand - the Costco organic blend is really good.

we use garlic alot. Garlic and herb seasoning is mandatory in this house at all times because its something I can get EVERYONE to eat.

I just wash and quarter the lemon and shove it in! I think it helps with tenderness for sure.
