Instructions

1. Prepare the turkey for baking as you normally would, cleaning its innards out and setting on a roasting pan. Make sure the turkey is fully thawed if you bought it frozen or the meat will not cook evenly.

2. Mix one cup chicken broth with one cup Italian dressing. To keep the calories lowest, choose a low fat broth and dressing. Some varieties may give you the same amount of calories as you would have using butter, so read the labels.

3. Brush or rub the raw turkey with the chicken broth and dressing mixture so the skin doesn’t dry out.

4. Place the bird in a preheated oven at 325 degrees. Every 25 minutes or so, pull the oven rack out containing the bird and baste with the chicken broth and dressing mixture. Make sure to squeeze some in the crevices between the wings, thighs and other areas. If you run out of the mixture, simply mix more by using equal parts chicken broth and dressing.

5. Remove the turkey from the oven when done. Let it cool and absorb the juices. Serve and enjoy.
