Overnight High-Heat Turkey - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 whole turkey
    olive oil, for rubbing
    5 cups water
Preparation
    About an hour before you go to bed, preheat oven to 500 degrees.
    Wash turkey thoroughly and empty the neck and carcass cavities.
    Do NOT stuff the bird (that's not negotiable).
    Rub outside of turkey with olive oil.
    Place bird in roaster and pour water over.
    Cover with a tight-fitting lid and bake at 500 for one hour.
    DO NOT TAKE LID OFF AT ANY TIME!
    After one hour, turn down oven to its lowest setting (without actually turning it off).
    Leave bird in oven, lid on and go to bed.
    Wake up to a bird that is tender, juicy, brown and ready.
