<human>:  How do I roast a turkey perfectly?
<bot>: To roast a turkey perfectly, start by prepping the turkey by removing any giblets and washing it. Pat the turkey dry and sprinkle it with salt and pepper. Cover the turkey with a piece of foil, making sure it does not touch the top of the turkey. Place the turkey in a roasting pan and place it in a preheated oven at 350°F. Cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the bird reads 165°F. Allow the turkey to rest for 15 to 20 minutes before carving and serving.
