Hey MaryAnn,

It doesn't matter what size turkey (or ham) - I've done pretty much the whole 
range of sizes.  I usually put it on 200, but I have an aunt that says to put 
your oven on the lowest temperature it has.  Part of the coolness in cooking 
your turkey/ham this way is that it frees up your oven first thing in the 
morning, so you have as much time as you need for sides, etc.

Happy cookin!!
Ruth  (p/s to MA - V is putting a unit together for me - Thanks!)

  How large a turkey, Debi?  We always cook ours during the day on 
Thanksgiving, and end up not eating until six o'clock at night.  MA

        I know that Jennie-O turkeys come with this attached. I always wondered 
why would you need to turn a turkey?. I cook mine slow, all night usually at 
200 degrees, wake up in the morning to a perfectly cooked, melting off the 
bone, yummy turkey. I surround the turkey with dressing and cover with foil 
loosely. works every time. No turning necessary. I cook it for 15 minutes at 
400 degrees to brown it up pretty, then turn it down to 200 degrees and go to 
bed.
