I screwed up, and made the best roast turkey I've ever made, Marilyn, I did your
suggestion backwards. I forgot to check to see if anyone answered me.
14 pound turkey:
I injected butter from the same whole in 3 different directions in each breast, and 1 in each thigh, and leg. I separated the skin from the breasts, and rubbed it with sage, then stuffed stuffing under the breast skin. I cooked it for 3 hours, 30 minutes at 325, with foil over it, THEN I found Marilyn's suggestion, pulled out the turkey, scooped out the stuffing, then popped it at 350 for 30 more minutes. I didn't have to worry about it being done. It was SO moist and delicious, and all those injection marinade recipes I've used in the past are gone! Butter only even if I fry or smoke it! Thank you all so much. I only had 4 people, but they raved! And the bread, those icebox butterhorns turned into the best loaf of bread, because I forgot to let it rise before I put it in the fridge for the night. I'll thank her on that thread! Thank you for helping me give thanks!
