Turkey

1/4 cup/60 ml Watkins Meat Magic
1 tbsp/15 ml Watkins Poultry Seasoning
To prepare turkey, remove giblets and neck from turkey; discard or reserve for another use. Rinse turkey thoroughly with cold water; pat dry. Place turkey breast side up in roasting pan; rub inside and out with Meat Magic and Poultry Seasoning. Stuff loosely with Sausage-Apple Stuffing (place any remaining stuffing in a casserole to bake later). Bake turkey, uncovered, at 325°F/165°C for 4 to 4-1/2 hours, basting occasionally with pan juices. Meat thermometer should read 185°F/85°C. Cover loosely with foil if turkey begins to get too brown. Remove from oven and let stand 15 minutes before carving. Place casserole with remaining stuffing in the oven the last hour before serving. Toss stuffing from turkey with that in casserole.
Makes 12 servings.
Tip!To make stuffing entirely in casserole dish, add a little more water if a moist stuffing is desired.
