| 10 to 14 pound turkey (fresh, never frozen, if possible) (Do not use a self basting turkey) salt (see below) Crushed rosemary Ground thyme butter |
Soak the turkey overnight in the refrigerator in a salt water solution. Use 1/2 cup salt for each gallon of water. You can buy a plastic paint bucket which works very well for under five dollars. Remove the turkey from the salt solution and pat dry. Mix rosemary and thyme in softened butter and rub over turkey; cover with a buttered cheesecloth. Roast the turkey unstuffed on a "V" shaped rack at 400° until a meat thermometer reaches 180° deep in the thigh. This will take between 1-1/2 to 2 hours. Begin roasting breast side down and rotate every 20-30 minutes: one wing, then the other wing, then finally breast side up. Baste with its own juices every time you turn. Use oven mitts! Remove the cheese cloth at the time you make the last turn. When done, remove to a cooling rack for 10-15 minutes before carving. |

Add peas and mushrooms. Cut cheese into cubes and add, stirring until blended. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cook vermicelli, using chicken broth. Add diced chicken, celery, and vermicelli to mixture. Divide into 2 or 3 smaller casseroles. Bake at 350° for 45 minutes. |

Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Melt 2 Tablespoons butter in large skillet. Add chicken skin side down.

Turn chicken; add all other ingredients except parsley. Replace plate and weights. Cook over low heat for 45 minutes. Remove chicken to platter. Cut into half inch thick slices if desired.
