Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Step 2
Unbind legs of turkey, if necessary. Pat turkey dry with paper towels. Place turkey into a roasting pan with a lid, and rub oil inside and outside turkey.
Step 3
Stuff body and neck cavity with apple quarters. Arrange whole apples around turkey in the roasting pan. Scatter any extra apple quarters into the pan. Cover the roasting pan.
Step 4
Roast in the preheated oven until skin is brown and the meat is begins to separate from legs, 2 1/2 to 3 hours. A thermometer inserted into the thickest part of turkey should read 165 F (74 C). To further brown skin, remove the lid in the last 20 minutes of roasting. Use pan drippings for gravy, if desired.
