Ingredients

• 1 - 12 Pounds (lb) whole turkey
• 1 - Pinch salt, to taste
• 1 - Pinch ground black pepper, to taste
• 2 - Tablespoons (tbsp) all-purpose flour
• 5 - Stalks celery, sliced
• 2 - Large onions, quartered
• 1 - Large turkey bag

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Remove and discard the giblets from the turkey.
3. Rinse the turkey under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.
4. Season the turkey generously with salt and ground black pepper.
5. Sprinkle the bottom of the turkey bag with flour to prevent it from bursting and to aid in browning.
6. Place the seasoned turkey inside the bag and add the celery and quartered onions around it.
7. Seal the bag securely and transfer it to a roasting pan. Use a fork to poke several holes in the bag to allow steam to escape.
8. Bake the turkey in the preheated oven for about 3 to 3.5 hours, or until the juices run clear and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thigh meat reads 180 degrees F (85 degrees C).
9. Carefully remove the turkey from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before carving.
10. Enjoy your perfectly cooked turkey, and relish the easy cleanup!
