Butter in moderation isn’t going to kill anyone. And butter is much healthier for you than margarine. No other fat gives food a better flavor than butter. But I do agree, they did seem to use a rather excessive amount in the old Butterball commercial. My Mom used to put the cheese cloth over the turkey, but she didn’t continue to baste it with melted butter, she basted it with the pan drippings.

It's funny, because I remember an era when conventional margarine was loudly proclaimed to be so much healthier. Voices saying otherwise were fringe nuts. And then they discovered that transfat problem...and suddenly margarine didn't look so good any more...

I, too, really liked Julia Child. When I was first cooking, I read chunks of her Mastering the Art of French Cooking, and appreciated it so much. Later, thanks to AW.org, I went out of my way to see her cooking show (on DVD from the library), and what was going to be "just watch enough to get a sense of what this was like" became "watch the whole set." |

Rub the bird with oil, then sprinkle the salt,pepper and Bell's Seasoning. I like to surround the bird with celery and onion. I have used the Reynolds Baking Bags for years. Self basting and no mess! |

I open roast my turkey in a V rack every year, never much of a mess, but a very good moist and nicely browned turkey. I baste it with melted butter and pan drippings. |

I've used roasting bags for years, too. I make the turkey the day before (mashed potatoes and gravy, too), then slice and pan it with juices to transfer to my nephew's for Thanksgiving.
On butter: I'm in the 'Fifth Food Group' camp. Rarely does a dish not benefit from the addition of a little (or a lot of) butter. I recall a fad a few years ago in which people added a bit to their coffee. No interest in trying that one. |

are worth every penny. I have a big Magnalite roaster that I use in the oven and I use one of those bags. |

To each his own but I HATE anything cooked in a bag. Tried it years ago and my take is that the food comes out as if it had been steamed, very unappetizing. |

I like the roasting bags too. They can have a tendancy to give a steamed like flavor, but if I season turkey with poultry seasoning and place a bed of aromatic vegetables in the bag and place the turkey on top of them I find that the finished turkey tastes really good. And the meat is moister too. Neither of us like dark meat, so I always just roast two bone in turkey breasts instead. And the oven doesn’t get all splattered with grease, which is a plus because our oven isn’t self cleaning, its moi cleaning,LOL.

I recall a Cavalcade of Food video that Kevin & Ralph did on bagged-cooked turkey and how it avoided the usual mess. I'm all for that even with self-cleaning ovens.
I've seen several videos on cooking and carving a turkey, but never one on how to properly eat one. I think Sylvia Schnauzer had the right idea...
