Homestyle Turkey, the Michigander Way Recipe

Ingredients

1 (12 pound) whole turkey

6 tablespoons butter

divided

4 cups warm water

3 tablespoons chicken bouillon

2 tablespoons dried parsley

2 tablespoons dried minced onion

2 tablespoons seasoning salt

Wild Turkey Gumbo

Dinner

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Rinse and wash turkey. Discard the giblets or add to pan if they are anyone's favorites.

Step 2

Place turkey in a Dutch oven or roasting pan. Separate the skin over the breast to make little pockets. Put 3 tablespoons of the butter on both sides between the skin and breast meat. This makes for very juicy breast meat.

Step 3

In a medium bowl combine the water with the bouillon. Sprinkle in the parsley and minced onion. Pour over the top of the turkey. Sprinkle seasoning salt over the turkey.

Step 4

Cover with foil and bake in the preheated oven 3 1/2 to 4 hours until the internal temperature of the turkey reaches 180 degrees F (80 degrees C). For the last 45 minutes or so remove the foil so the turkey will brown nicely.
