Roast Turkey
- 1 turkey, approx. 15 lbs.
- Juice of a lemon
- Salt and pepper
- Olive oil or melted butter
- 1/2 yellow onion, peeled and quartered
- Tops and bottoms of a bunch of celery
- 2 carrots

- Sprigs of fresh rosemary, thyme
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Wash the turkey thoroughly with water and pat dry with paper towel. Rub a small amount of salt all over the inside of the turkey and lather it with lemon juice. To add some flavour to your roasted turkey, put yellow onion, parsley, celery and a couple of baby carrots in the cavity. Close up the turkey cavity with a clean string, making sure the legs of the turkey are tied together and held close to the body. Rub olive oil or melted butter all over the skin of the turkey and sprinkle salt and pepper over the turkey. Place the turkey in the oven preheated at 400 degrees Fahrenheit and allow it to cook for 30 to 45 minutes.
