Инструкция
- Remove any innards from the cavity of the turkey and set aside for another use. Pat the cavity dry with paper towels.
- Arrange the turkey, breast-side up, in a large glass or ceramic dish. Cover the skin with half of the salt. Rub the salted skin as well as the cavity of the turkey with the cut-side of the lemon for 2 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining salt, making sure the breasts are well seasoned. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 days.
