Ok, bird one is done.
I do go off the reservation on the above recipe. I brine with a jar you buy on Amazon:

I stuff with a peeled orange, an onion semi quartered (cut halfway through) and one of those clumps of poultry herbs from the grocery store.
And for a 17 lb bird I do hour and fifteen down, twist on the side for 30 minutes each and breast up for one hour tented and un tented for 30 minutes.
Norman Rockwell would be proud.
