12 to 14 lb turkey

2 pkg (7 1/2 oz size) seasoned stuffing mix
1 cup broth
(your choice, chicken or beef)
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning

Olive oil
Rinse and drain turkey. Salt neck and body cavities lightly. In
a large saucepan, melt butter. Lightly saute celery and onions.
Stir in stuffing mix, broth, the 1 teaspoon salt, poultry
seasoning, and pepper. Stuff turkey. Rub skin with oil. Roast
