THE BEST AND EASIEST TURKEY
EVER!
 
This recipe makes the best juice for gravy and the turkey is the moistest tastiest I have ever tried! This was given to a friend of mine from our local butcher and it has become our classic family Holiday bird!

1 whole turkey
2 (12 oz. ea.) bottles dark beer (I use Shiner Bock)
2-4 rosemary sprigs
salt and pepper, to taste

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Rinse turkey and pat dry. Season turkey with salt and pepper. Place rosemary springs under the skin.

Place in large turkey roasting pan with a tightly fitted lid. Pour both beers over turkey.

Bake, covered with lid, at 400°F for 30 minutes. Then turn oven down to 325°F and cook for 15 minutes per pound (including the 30 minutes).

Remove from oven and let sit for 15 minutes before carving.
