After butchering the turkey into pieces, salt well and rest for an hour in the fridge.

Divide the turkey onto two trays so that there is room between pieces.

Pat dry and spray with avocado oil.

Cook turkey at 400 degrees until breast is 145 degrees (about 30-35 minutes--take out wings at this time as well) and thigh is 181 degrees (about 1 hour 7 minutes).

Rest on a rack for 20 minutes.
