• 1 whole turkey
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 3 onions, sliced
• 4 celery stalks, chopped
• Salt to taste
• Pepper to taste
• Oven bag

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Make sure your turkey is completely thawed and remove the neck and giblets. Wash turkey thoroughly inside and out.
2. Place the oven bag on a large roasting pan. Line your oven bag with the sliced onions and chopped celery. You could also add carrots, apples or any other vegetable you may like.
3. Rub your turkey with melted butter. You could use olive oil if you prefer it over butter. Sprinkle salt and pepper over your turkey. You can add some of your favorite seasoning, such as garlic or basil, if you like.
