Steps:

- Rub outside of turkey with olive oil.
- Place bird in roaster and pour water over.
- Cover with a tight-fitting lid and bake at 500 for one hour.
- DO NOT TAKE LID OFF AT ANY TIME!
- After one hour, turn down oven to its lowest setting (without actually turning it off).
- Leave bird in oven, lid on and go to bed.
- Wake up to a bird that is tender, juicy, brown and ready.
