Roast Turkey Here is a technique that I use and a lot of my fiends do too. Unwrap your frozen turkey, (it doesn't matter what size). Get a bucketor pot or container,( not insulated like a cooler), and put a cup to cupand a half of Hawaiian salt in the bucket.

Pour in a little and letthe salt melt a little. You may add other seasonings but I don't. Putyour frozen turkey in the bucket.

Totally submerse your turkey inwater. (Don't let the water over flow from the bucket. ) Put a weight(like a glass cover) on the turkey , as it will rise.

Cover your bucketwith a towel and leave your turkey like that over night. I usually cookand 20-23 lb. Turkey and do this technique about 9:00 p.m.

The nightbefore I cook it. Take the turkey out a the water the next morning.(About 8-9:00 a.m. ) Rinse the turkey clean.

Sometimes there is still achunk of ice in the cavity but the rest of the turkey is defrosted. Ifyou are not going to cook the turkey right a way, put it in the ice boxin a pan until you are ready. This technique always works for me and itbeats a defrosting turkey in the ice box for days on end.

The Hawaiian salt will absorb in the turkey and it helps keep the watercold. Now to cook a turkey in 3 hours. Yep you read right, 3 hours.

Give yourself 4 hours before you want to serve your turkey. Preheat your oven to 500'. Rinse and pat dry your turkey and rub ablock of butter on your turkey.

Put your turkey in the oven at 500' for1 hour. If the top of the turkey starts to brown too fast, tent a pieceof foil over it lightly. Also you may want to foil the tips of thedrumsticks and wings.

After one hour at 500', drop your oven to 350'. Take off the foil and leave it at 350' for 2 hours. Baste about every20 minutes or so.

After 2 hours at 350' ( 3 hours altogether). Yourturkey is done. Take it out of the oven and cover it tightly with foilfor about 20 -30 minutes.

Carve your turkey. Do not leave your turkeyin the oven with the oven off. Your breast meat will be dry.

This receipe cannot be with used with the turkey stuffed. You can also use your favorite seasoning along with the butter. It is best when you soak your turkey with the Hawaiian salt method.

Itis like taking a salt pill, the turkey absorbs all the salt and keeps itmoist. I've used this receipe on a 10lb, 18lb, the biggest was 23.5 lbs. Mitzi Sources: http://www.recipelink.com/qbturkey.html .

How to Cook Turkey In a Bag! 1. Cooking your Turkey in a BAG, is the easy way to make Thanksgiving dinner!

Fast cooking time, Easy Clean-up and Tender, juicy Turkey! Follow along to see How I do it every year! 2.

After you have selected your Bird (see my How to cook turkey for Thanksgiving "How to" for cooking and thawing info), it's time to prep for "Bagging". First, remove your bird from it's wrapper and pull the organs out (giblets) Rinsing the entire bird is a good idea. If you like to stuff the bird before cooking, get your stuffing ready.

Otherwise, season as you normally would. 3. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.

Pour about 1 tablespoon of flour into the bag and shake it around. Next, place the entire bird in a Turkey sized Oven Bag (I use Reynolds). Place the bird, bag and all, into a roasting pan and slip right into the oven.

You can cut a few small slits to let steam out, or not. (I don't). 4.

I find that "Bagging" my bird reduces cooking time. A 16 Pound bird takes around 2 1/2 -3 hours. If it's "STUFFED" give it an extra hour!

I usually start the bird "Breast up, then finish it off, breast down. This helps keep the white meat juicy and moist. Basting is not necessary due to the plastic bag and "STEAM".

Once you think the bird is done, stick a kitchen thermometer into the breast and then the thigh. It should read between 165-180. If your bird is "STUFFED", check the stuffing temp.Too.

If you want the traditional presentation, remove the "Bag" for the last 30 minutes of cooking. (Cooking in a bag can cause the turkey to fall apart).5. Remove the bird and serve as you normally would.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
