Peking duck is a famous Chinese dish that originated in Beijing, China, dating back to the imperial era. It's known for its crispy skin and tender meat. The traditional method involves air-drying the duck and then roasting it in a closed oven until the skin is crispy and the meat is moist. It's often served with thin pancakes or steamed buns, green onions, cucumber, and hoisin sauce, allowing diners to wrap slices of duck in the pancakes with the accompaniments. Peking duck is not only delicious but also holds cultural significance in Chinese cuisine.

I've followed this formula for years and the turkey always comes out moist. It is done in a covered roaster but if you don't have one, use a very large disposable foil pan, but put a a cookie sheet under to support the heavy weight. Use greased double heavy duty foil folded into a large triangle to cover only the breast meat. Follow the same preparation methods, roasting uncovered, at 500 degrees for 30 minutes. Remove the pan and mold the greased triangle around the breast. Continue baking at the lower temperature. Because it is uncovered, it may take a little longer to bake.
Ingredients:
18-20 lb turkey
1/2 c butter, softened
salt
pepper
paprika
1 large onion, cut into wedges
1 large carrot, cut into 3" pieces
5 stalks celery, cut into 3" pieces
Premade cooled stuffing
Small metal skewers special for poultry
Directions:
Use the stick of butter to grease the roaster. Set the vegetables in the bottom to prevent the turkey from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Dry the inside and outside of turkey with paper towels. Place turkey breast side down on a large raised cookie sheet or half sheet pan. Rub butter on back, legs and wings. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and paprika. Stuff neck cavity with stuffing. Stretch skin to cover opening. Use metal skewers to "sew" opening shut. Rub skin with butter, salt, pepper and paprika. Flip turkey onto roaster so that the back lies on the vegetables. Fill stomach cavity with stuffing. Usually there isn't enough skin to stretch and close cavity. Take 2 slices of bread and press over opening. It will stick to the stuffing and no sewing is necessary. Rub butter, sprinkle salt, pepper and paprika over the breast and any missed spots on legs and wings. Preheat oven to 500 degrees and place roaster in oven, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Cover roaster and lower heat to 350 degrees and bake for 1 hour. Remove roaster and cut skin loose between thigh and breast so meat will cook evenly. Baste turkey, cover roaster, return to oven and bake for about 45 minutes. Remove and insert thermometer in the thickest part of the thigh. If the temperature reaches 160 degrees, turkey is done. If not, return to oven for another 15 minutes. Sometimes the thigh and drumstick will be slightly pink or red. If so, you can cook them in a covered skillet on medium low heat and cook till no longer red. Do not microwave as meat will tend to be tough. Let turkey sit for at least 30 minutes for juices to settle before removing stuffing and carving. Use the vegetables and drippings to make gravy. As of this posting, the gravy wasn't filmed but it will be included later. Note: If using a 12-13 pound turkey, bake uncovered, at 500 degrees for 30 minutes. Turn oven to 350 degrees, cover roaster and cook for 30 minutes. Remove, cut skin loose between thighs and breast, baste and return to oven for another 30 minutes. Remove and let sit 30 minutes for juices to settle and meat to firm up.
