Ingredients
- 1 medium sized (12-14 pounds) turkey
- 4 pounds kosher salt or rocksalt
- 4 pounds flour
- 6 cups of water, or as needed
- 1 sprig of rosemary
- Bay leaf
Directions
- Place the sprig of rosemary and the bay leaf in the cavity of the turkey.
- Knead the flour, salt, and water into dough.
- Roll out on a pastry board until large enough to wrap around the turkey.
- Place turkey in the middle of the dough and bring up the sides to wrap the turkey. Make sure that the crust is secure and that there are no holes. A little water can be used to patch holes if needed.
- Place the wrapped turkey on a greased cookie sheet and bake in a very slow oven at 240 degrees for 2-3 hours, until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.
- Break open the crust and serve.
