Mr. Turkey and the stuff that goes inside

I have notes jotted down from last Thanksgiving from many phone calls to my mom to be able to make our first Turkey and stuffing. Here are my mom's recipes ( I hope I can piece it all together)

STUFFING (The YUMMIEST recipe ever!)

4-5 large carrots -peel and grind
4-5 stalks of celery -chop fine
2-3 medium size onions (depending on your preference)- grind

1/2 cube butter (about 4 TBSP)

Add altogether in saucepan and cook until soft (about 10 minutes)

Add stuffing and about 1/2 cube of butter ( don't you love how my mom cooks- just add a little of this a little of that)

You can do this the night before to help make the day a little easier.

TURKEY

Wash the whole turkey inside and out (pull out those yucky gizzards)
Salt inside and out of the Turkey including the legs

Stuff from both ends and stuff as full as you can

Use skewers to close and pulls skin of both sides

Put in pan -coat with butter

Put foil over each leg and wing to prevent from burning

Put 1 big piece of foil over the whole turkey
(It will brown well with foil)

1/2 way through cooking - baste

If not brown towards the end take off big foil

Cook Turkey for 20 minutes per pound @ 325 degrees
