I bought the butterball turkey and well worth it. coated under the skin with butter
and on top of the skin with butter then rubbed salt and pepper all over it.
I cooked it on 425 degrees for first 20 minutes then lowered it to 325 and tent it with foil for 4 hours.
It came out so most and was 180 in breast and 165 degrees in thigh when done.
Started off the morning by baking my biscuits. The cornbread was made the day before along with the sweet potatoes. Then I prepared all of the other food but did not cook or warm it up until after the turkey was done cooking and was setting for about 30 minutes at least.
This made it very smooth coming together and I did some buffet style with the dishes that only had one bowl. The stuffings and likewise which had two bowls went on the table, one on each end! This made getting the food run smoothly.
In 2015 I only made 5 pounds of white potatoes and 5 pounds of sweet potatoes and 2 boxes of stove top stuffing and 1 thing of green bean casserole. Next year need to double all of this because very little was left over. Next time do 10 lbs of white potatoes and 10 lbs of sweet potatoes and 4 boxes of stove top and 2 bags of sausage stuffing and 2 things of green bean casserole.
Sausage stuffing....perpridge farm seasoned stuffing bread and cook according to directions except use broth instead of water. Cook ground pork sausage and saute onion and celery in the grease. Add to stuffing and mix.
