Instructions

Preheat your oven to 500 degrees and get a large roasting pan at least two inches larger than your turkey on all sides and walls 2 inches tall.
Add the turkey to the roasting pan and rub it with butter inside and out and season with salt and pepper.
Add the chopped carrots, celery and onions inside the turkey cavity.
Add the boiling water to the bottom of the roasting pan carefully then cover with foil tightly (take care to be sure you tent it over the turkey but the foil is not touching the turkey skin) and place into the oven.
Bake for 60 minutes then turn off the oven but do not open the door or remove the foil or do anything at all.
Leave the turkey undisturbed in the oven for 5 hours until the oven has completely cooled.
