Turkey

1(8 to 12-lb.) whole turkey, thawed if frozen
1/2teaspoon salt
Stuffing of choice
1/4cup margarine or butter, melted
GravyTurkey pan drippings
1 3/4cups Progresso® chicken broth (from 32-oz. carton)
1/3cup all-purpose flour
Water

DIRECTIONS
Heat oven to 325°F. Remove and discard neck and giblets from turkey. Rinse turkey inside and out with cold water; pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle cavity of turkey with salt.

2 Spoon stuffing loosely into neck and body cavities of turkey. Place any remaining stuffing in lightly buttered casserole; cover and refrigerate to bake as side dish. Turn wings back and tuck tips over shoulder joints. Refasten drumsticks with metal piece or tuck under skin at tail. Fasten neck skin to back with skewers.

3Place turkey, breast side up, in roasting pan. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of inside thigh and does not touch bone. Spoon margarine over turkey. Do not add water or cover.

4Bake until temperature reads 165°F and drumsticks move easily when lifted or twisted. Use "Timetable for Roasting Turkey" below. If necessary, cover turkey breast with tent of foil during last 1 1/2 to 2 hours of baking to prevent excessive browning.

5Remove turkey from roasting pan. Let stand 15 to 20 minutes before carving. Remove skewers. Remove stuffing; place in serving bowl.

6Gravy Directions: Pour drippings from roasting pan into strainer over bowl. Spoon off fat that rises to top, reserving 1/4 cup. Pour drippings into measuring cup. Add broth and enough water to make 3 1/2 cups liquid.

7In large saucepan, combine reserved 1/4 cup fat and flour. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with wire whisk until mixture turns golden brown, about 2 minutes.

8Gradually stir drippings mixture into flour mixture. Cook over low heat until mixture boils and thickens, stirring constantly..Stuffing can be made ahead of time and placed in a greased casserole dish and heated in the oven. An unstuffed turkey cooks more quickly.

Frozen turkeys must be fully thawed before cooking.
