1 serving (4 ounces meat, no skin)
153 calories per serving

1 turkey
1 onion
1 t oil
salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Clean turkey and salt and pepper the inside. Peel onion and place whole onion inside the bird. Place turkey in a roasting pan, preferably one with a bottom that keeps the turkey raised out of the cooking juices. Oil the top of the turkey and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place 1/2 c water in the bottom of the pan. Cover loosely with aluminum foil and roast approximately 20 pounds per pound. Baste with juices every hour, recover, and return to oven. During the last 15-25 minutes remove the cover to let the skin brown.

Remove from oven and let sit 20 minutes before carving.

One great recipe for leftover meat is Turkey Noodle Soup !
