RECIPE BY: Debber

Here's a HIGH-heat alternative--that kills those pesky salmonella bugs--leaving behind nothing but a tasty, moist bird. Original recipe comes from *Southern-Style Christmas* by Lucinda Secrest McDowell. Cooking time includes baking one hour plus overnight resting.

    I tried this at Thanksgiving and it was great. I did inject the turkey with cajun butter, put onions inside and rub the outside with cajun seasonings. It was nice and brown when we woke and the oven was free to do the rest of the cooking! On Christmas I will put the turkey either into a crockpot or electric roaster oven in the morning to keep it warm until lunch.
