  * 1 whole turkey - we like 20 lb birds :-)
  * celery stalks
  * garlic cloves
  * onion
  * 4 chicken bouillon cubes
  * salt and pepper

===== Instructions =====
  - thaw turkey (if kept frozen) for 3-4 days in fridge in casserole dish (keep packaging on)
  - preheat oven to 350
  - remove neck, scrape away any still frozen globs of ice, then remove bag of giblets by lifting skin from other end
  - rinse turkey in sink
  - in a large roaster, add approx 2" water
  - throw in a few cut up celery stalks, onion, and 4 chicken bouillon cubes
  - stuff turkey with some onion and garlic cloves
  - rub butter all over outside of turkey, then place in roaster
  - heavily season with salt and pepper
  - bake 4 to 6 hours, basting every hour
  - as you baste you will likely need to remove broth and reserve it for noodles and gravy
