Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
2

Place turkey in roasting pan; brush with oil, butter or stock, and season with salt and pepper.

Place turkey in oven, and roast for 40 to 60 minutes, depending on size, basting with the pan juices (or a little more chicken stock), every 15 minutes or so.

Begin checking every few minutes with an instant-read thermometer; turkey is ready when the thermometer reads 155 degrees.
