This wonderfully simple bird uses clarified butter (with milk solids removed) to achieve a gorgeous golden brown color on the skin. Visit for how to prepare clarified butter. Ingredients:
turkey |
1/3 cup clarified butter |
1 tablespoon kosher salt |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325°. Remove giblets and neck from turkey; reserve for another use. Pat turkey dry. Trim excess fat. Lift wing tips up and over back; tuck under turkey. Tie legs together with kitchen string. Brush turkey with clarified butter; sprinkle evenly with kosher salt. Place roasting rack in large roasting pan. Arrange turkey, breast side up, on roasting rack. Bake turkey at 325° for 1 hour and 10 minutes, basting after 1 hour.

Remove turkey from oven; let turkey stand for 30 minutes before carving. Discard skin.
