I recently purchased the cookbook "Fat-Free Holiday Recipes". I am posting
this recipe that my husband and I plan to use for our own
Thanksgiving meal. I hope some of you can use them as well. I have also
included a Pumpkin Layer Pie recipe. Enjoy:-)

-------- ------------ --------------------------------
----Turkey----
12 lbs
turkey -- defrosted * see
note
1/2 cup
water
1/2 cup
dry sherry
----Basting Sauce----
2 Tbsp
dry sherry
1 tsp
garlic -- crushed
1/4 tsp
black pepper
1 tsp
poultry seasoning
1 1/2 tsps
paprika
1 tsp
brown sugar
Preheat oven to 325. Transfer turkey to a rack in a large roasting pan.
Return the legs to the band of skin or wire. Fold the wings back and
underneath the bird. Pour the water and 1/2 cup sherry into the bottom of
the roasting pan. Combine remaining sherry, garlic, black pepper, poultry
seasoning, paprika, and brown sugar in a mixing bowl. Brush over the skin
of the turkey. Completely enclose the turkey in aluminum foil, crimping the
foil around the edges of the pan to seal. Bake for 3 to 4 hours. During the
last 30 minutes of cooking, remove foil and baste with pan juices. When
turkey is done, a thermometer inserted in the thigh will read 180 to 185,
and the drumsticks will move easily in the sockets. Remove turkey from the
oven, and allow it to sit, loosely covered with foil, for 20 minutes before
carving.

NOTES : *Remove the package containing the giblets and neck from the
cavities of the turkey (you may have to release the legs from a band of
skin or a wire in order to remove the giblets and neck). Rinse the turkey,
inside and out, and dry it with paper towels. Trim off any excess fat.
