To prepare the turkey and make it well juicy it is convenient to use a bag of roast like the chicken but in large size. You can find them in food stores or in American food stores. To make the turkey and make it juicy, before baking it we spread it with olive oil, season it with salt and pepper and fill it with apples.

We line the tip of the legs with aluminum foil so they don’t burn and put it in the roasting bag. We chop the celery and onion into coarse pieces and put them together with the turkey. We close the bag and put it on an oven tray.
