Bake in a bag to keep the turkey moist and tender!

Ingredients

1/4 cup butter, softened
6 garlic cloves, minced
1 turkey (22 to 24 pounds)
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons pepper
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 turkey-size oven roasting bag
4 celery ribs, coarsely chopped
2 medium onions, sliced

Directions

-In a small bowl, combine butter and garlic. Pat turkey dry. Carefully loosen the skin of the turkey; rub the butter mixture under the skin. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the skin of the turkey and inside the cavity. Skewer turkey openings; tie drumsticks together.

-Place flour in an oven bag and shake to coat. Place oven bag in a roasting pan; add celery and onions. Place turkey, breast side up, over vegetables. Cut six 1/2-in. slits in top of bag; close bag with tie provided.

-Bake at 350° for 3 to 3-1/2 hours or until a thermometer reads 180°. Let stand for 15 minutes before carving. Skim fat and thicken drippings if desired.

-If preparing turkey the day before, pour drippings into a measuring cup; skim fat. Arrange slices in an ungreased shallow roasting pan; pour drippings over the turkey. Cool completely. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

-The next day, bake at 350° for 45-65 minutes or until heated through.
