Uncle Bill's Baked Turkey Breast And Thighs

I developed and cooked this recipe for 140 persons for christmas two years ago at a special fund raising function and it was a tremendous hit with everyone. The dill weed gives the turkey a most delightful flavor.

Steps

Preheat oven to 425f.
Prepare a large enough roasting pan with a metal rack to accomodate both turkey portions in a single layer.
Place the turkey on the rack.
Pour olive oil over the turkey portions to coat.
Sprinkle with granulated garlic powder , black pepper , seasoning salt and dried dill weed.
Pour 1 cup of water into the bottom of the pan.
Cover the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil.
Place roasting pan on middle rack and bake in preheated 425 f oven for 30 minutes.
Reduce oven heat to 350 f and continue to bake for another 45 minutes.
At this point , check for doneness by cutting into the breast and thighs to make sure that there is no pink showing and the juices flow clear.
You may also insert a meat thermometer into the thickest portion of the breast or thigh and it should read between 175 f - 180f do not overcook.
You may have to remove the turkey breast before the thighs as the thighs take a bit longer to cook.
When turkey is done , remove from oven , ten.
