Upside Down Turkey image

This is a simple way to prepare a moist turkey without stuffing. The secret ingredient is butter -- it enhances the bird's natural flavor. When the turkey is done, the juices may be used to prepare a gravy by adding cornstarch 1 tablespoon at a time until the liquid begins to thicken. This recipe is based on a 13 pound bird. Adjust as necessary.

I would not recommend this recipe. The turkey was dry and the pineapple glaze was too sweet. I was very disappointed.
