Ingredients:

• 1 whole turkey  
• Fresh oranges  
• Fresh lemons  
• Fresh limes  
• Fresh pineapple  
• Butter or honey

Method

Prepare the turkey for roasting in the traditional manner using a roasting pan. Instead of stuffing the cavity with "stuffing", stuff it with a combination of orange, lemon, lime and pineapple slices. Coat the skin generously with either butter or honey (if you wish a sweeter taste.) Cook according to weight...DO NOT BASTE!

Notes: The turkey will turn out far more moist than you have ever had, with a hint of citrus!! The drippings you cannot use for gravy though, the only drawback. Use a deep pan for roasting...there will be a lot of juice! You can leave the rind on the citrus...it doesn't make a difference.

Number of servings: 5-10
