Cooking a turkey couldn’t get any easier!
1 (approximately 20-pound) whole turkey, neck and giblets removed, rinsed and patted dry
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 large oven roasting bag
1 onion, thickly sliced
2 celery ribs, sliced
Preheat oven to 325°F.
Brush turkey with oil. Shake flour in an oven roasting bag and insert the turkey. Add onion and celery ribs.
Place turkey into a shallow, 2 inch deep, roasting pan. Close the bag. Pierce six small slits in the top of the bag. Roast for 4 to 5 hours or until the meat thermometer registers 180°F. Juices should run clear and the legs should move easily when twisted or lifted.
Let stand 20 minutes before slicing.
