UNCLE BILL'S BAKED TURKEY BREAST AND THIGHS
I developed and cooked this recipe for 140 persons for Christmas two years ago at a Special Fund Raising Function and it was a tremendous hit with everyone. The dill weed gives the turkey a most delightful flavor.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Prepare a large enough roasting pan with a metal rack to accomodate both turkey portions in a single layer.
- Place the turkey on the rack.
- Pour olive oil over the turkey portions to coat.
- Sprinkle with granulated garlic powder, black pepper, seasoning salt and dried dill weed.
- Pour 1 cup of water into the bottom of the pan.
- Cover the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil.
- Place roasting pan on middle rack and bake in preheated 425 F oven for 30 minutes.
- Reduce oven heat to 350 F and continue to bake for another 45 minutes.
- At this point, check for doneness by cutting into the breast and thighs to make sure that there is no pink showing and the juices flow clear. You may also insert a meat thermometer into the thickest portion of the breast or thigh and it should read between 175 F - 180°F Do not overcook.
- You may have to remove the turkey breast before the thighs as the thighs take a bit longer to cook.
- When turkey is done, remove from oven, tent and let sit for about 15 minutes before carving.
- You may also wish to use only turkey breast.
- As an added option, you may wish to place some medium size, whole, peeled onions on the rack to bake.
- These are always good served with butter along with the turkey.
