Lisa's T-Shirt Turkey


Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Meat Thermometer

Turkey

1 small new white T-shirt

1 pound of butter melted in a bowl

2 Tablespoons olive oil

Seasoning for turkey: I use salt pepper, garlic, poultry seasoning, sage, thyme, rosemary and smoked paprika.



Melt butter in a bowl and place t-shirt in bowl to soak up all the butter.

Rub turkey with olive oil. Massage seasoning on the turkey. Slide the t-shirt over the bird and place in pan.  Place in oven. Allow to cook for at least the first 45 minutes without opening the oven. After 45 minutes, spoon the butter from the bottom of the pan back over the turkey wrapped in the t shirt.  Cook until turkey tempurature reaches 165 degrees. Let the Turkey rest for 10 minutes then cut t-shirt off carefully.
