Yes - this is how I do my turkey. And I drizzle more butter on later.
Now, add a drizzle of maple syrup and a little fresh sage under the wings (in the wing pits) before you place the cheesecloth on the turkey. I'm not joking - it's to die for.
Do it up with a good sausage stuffing (moist, with lots of onion and celery and carrot) - and it's the best.
