Directions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Rub cleaned turkey with unsalted shortening or butter.
Cover the bird with a piece of cheesecloth soaked in melted, unsalted butter.
Reduce the heat to 350 and place turkey in oven.
Make glaze of equal parts Kahlua and apricot preserves.
Sounds weird, but it is delicious.
Baste turkey with glaze right over the top of the cheesecloth.
(The taste actually permeates the meat.)
Peel the cloth off before presentation (bird is a dark, rich brown) and serve w/ sauce.
