Rub the turkey inside and out with the kosher salt. Place the bird in a large stock pot, and cover with cold water. Place in the refrigerator, and allow the turkey to soak in the salt and water mixture 12 hours, or overnight.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Thoroughly rinse the turkey, and discard the brine mixture.
Brush the turkey with 1/2 the melted butter. Place breast side down on a roasting rack in a shallow roasting pan. Stuff the turkey cavity with 1 onion, 1/2 the carrots, 1/2 the celery, 1 sprig of thyme, and the bay leaf. Scatter the remaining vegetables and thyme around the bottom of the roasting pan, and cover with the white wine.
Roast uncovered 3 1/2 to 4 hours in the preheated oven, until the internal temperature of the thigh reaches 180 degrees F (85 degrees C). Carefully turn the turkey breast side up about 2/3 through the roasting time, and brush with the remaining butter. Allow the bird to stand about 30 minutes before carving

FLUFFY PIZZA CASSOROLE

Good and easy to make, the whole ffamily will enjoy. 

Ingredients:

2 cans Pilsbury biscuits (you should have 16 biscuits total)

1 jar pizza sauce (15 oz)

2 cups mozzarella cheese

Your favorite Pizza topping (I used pepperoni, but you could use cooked sausage, onion, mushroom, peppers, etc)

Italian Seasoning

Directions:

Lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish. Preheat oven to 375. In a large bowl, break biscuits into small pieces (about 4-5 pieces per biscuit). Add in pizza sauce, one cup mozzarella cheese, and pizza topping. Mix thoroughly so all pieces are evenly coated. Pour into greased baking dish. Top with remaining one cup cheese. Bake in oven for about 35 minutes, or until slightly brown and cheese is bubbly. *I stuck mine under the broiler for an additional 3-4 minutes.
