1/4 cup margarine, melted
2 tsp. browning sauce (kitchen bouquet)
1 tbsp. chopped parsley
2 tsp. poultry seasoning

Set Rack in preheated Cookwell. Cover; roast turkey 13-18 minutes per pound at 350 degrees F. (or until internal temperature reaches 180 degrees on meat thermometer).*

For stuffed turkey, add 30 minutes to the roasting time.
Turkey may be held at 200 degrees F until ready to serve.

*Alternative browning method for self-basting turkeys: Follow recipe directions with these exceptions: Preheat NESCO Roaster Oven and set temperature at 400 degrees F. Roast turkey at 400 degrees F for the first hour. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F using time in recipe, 13 to 18 minutes per pound. During the last hour of roasting, remove all juice from Cookwell and return temperature to 400 degrees F.
