The Ultimate Turkey

1 (16-pound) whole turkey
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
6 cups stuffing mix
1 celery rib, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1/4 cup butter, melted

1. Wash turkey; pat dry. Season with salt and pepper. Run fingers carefully between the skin and flesh of the turkey, loosening the skin. Working slowly, push stuffing mix in a thin layer under the breast and thigh of turkey.
2. Put chopped celery rib, chopped carrot, and chopped onion in the body cavity. Tie the legs closed. Place the turkey in a large pan, brush with melted butter and roast, breast-side up, at 350*F for 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 155 to160*IF.
3. Remove from the oven and let stand 20 minutes before carving.

Makes 20 servings.
