Preheat oven to 450F. Rinse and wash turkey. Save
giblets and neck
for gravy. Stuff turkey, if desired. Place turkey
in a Dutch oven or
roasting pan. Separate the skin over the breast
to make little
pockets. Put 3 tablespoons of the butter on both
sides between the
skin and breast meat. This makes for very juicy
breast meat. In a
medium bowl, combine the water with the bouillon.
Sprinkle in the
parsley and minced onion. Pour over the top of
the turkey. Sprinkle
seasoning salt over the turkey. Cover with foil,
and place in oven.
Immediately turn oven down to 325F. Bake for 3
1/2 to 4 hours, until
the internal temperature of the turkey reaches
180F. For the last
45 minutes or so, remove the foil so the turkey
will brown nicely.
