Like I said, I leave the turkey frying to the beer drinking men in the garage and go make the pies. I think there's a way to cook a turkey in the oven, but when we've got the men doing the turkey cooking, we take what we can get. Try this site peepers for the oven cooked turkey - http://www.butterball.com/

Coat with olive oil, salt & pepper & poultry seasoning (or, sometimes in our house, Cajun seasoning.) Dump upside down in a roasting pan. Cook at a relatively low temperature for a long time. Periodically open the oven and baste the thing with the juices it is excreting. Take out and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

Breast down for baking. Legs up for frying.

The only way I've successfully cooked one in the oven (read: not burned) is by placing the bird, breast down, in an oven bag. Removed all of the icky things that had been shoved back inside the cavity first, though, and inserted things like celery and onion instead. Salt, pepper and oil on the skin doesn't hurt either.

Actually, I have a really good one that uses curry, cinnamon and some other fun spices and makes for a very tasy (i.e. not bland and boring) bird. Also it turns the bird into a beautiful golden color.

No.
I mean, I have one.
I just won't share. This is dangerously close to sharing. You may want to consider redacting it: Actually, I have a really good one that uses curry, cinnamon and some other fun spices and makes for a very tasy (i.e. not bland and boring) bird. Also it turns the bird into a beautiful golden color.

[After the Christmas turkey is stolen by the Bumpus' hounds] The heavenly aroma still hung in the house. But it was gone, all gone! No turkey! No turkey sandwiches! No turkey salad! No turkey gravy! Turkey Hash! Turkey a la King! Or gallons of turkey soup! Gone, ALL GONE!

We bought a great jar of turkey Brine at the grocery store last year and soaked the turkey in that and smoked it, but you could cook it in the oven too. I'm the person that has to get the turkey with the pop up. Then I stare at the oven window all day and then have to open the door to be sure that the oven window isn't keeping pop-up secrets from me. But my turkeys always come out wonderful. The brine I used from Homeland or Albertsons was "Spice Hunter" but Williams Sonoma has one too. Brined turkey is the way to go. We brine in an ice chest with lots of ice and leave it overnite in the garage. Hope that helps.

HRH, can I just pay you to cook one for me?
This all sounds so complicated!
Except Boaty, hers is simple as she hasn't really shared much if anything.

Take out and let it rest for at least 30 minutes. Rest? is it exhausted from just sitting in the oven?

Peepers, regardless of the method used to cook said turkey, i offer this tidbit of wisdom gleaned from many sources - Dad, Grandpa, uncles, brothers...
Whoever carves the turkey gets to sample as much as they choose when carving.
