[quote=Anonymous]I agree that turkey bags are great. However, I do turkeys the way my mother does and my family and friends love it. Get cheesecloth and make an X with two strips 3x the length of turkey. Put the turkey breast down on the X. Pat with salt and pepper to taste. Fold the four "flaps" back over the back of the bird. Put the bird on the roasting rack, breast up. Make a mixture of melted butter and chicken broth (I use 1 bar of butter and 16-24 oz of chicken broth per bird). Baste the bird with some of the broth mixture. Cook based on time and every 30 min baste with more of the broth mixture. Halfway through, flip the bird breast down. Continue basting every 30 min; when you run out of broth in the bowl, get the drippings in the pan. It sounds like work, but it isn't that much work. It's like 2-3 min to start by wrapping the cheesecloth on the bird and melting the butter. Then about 10-15 seconds every 30 min. [/quote]
