Remove the giblets and neck from the turkey cavity; discard or reserve
for another use.
Rinse the turkey with cold water, and pat dry with paper towels. Tie the ends of the legs
together with string, and tuck the wings behind the back.
Place wire rack on top of the baking pan and set the turkey on the rack. Rub the skin with
softened butter.
Insert the rack assembly and bird into a cold oven, feet rst, as indicated.
After 45 minutes, shield the ends of the drumsticks with foil to prevent over-browning.
Resume cooking for another 45 minutes at the same setting.
After 1½ hours, check the turkey for doneness; temperature should reach 170ºF. When the
turkey is done, remove from the oven and tent with foil.
