      Yield: 1 turkey 
  
           Turkey 
           Butter, melted 
           Kahlua 
           Apricot preserves 
  
  Preheat oven to 450 degrees. 
   
  Rub cleaned turkey with unsalted shortening or butter.  Cover the bird with 
  a piece of cheesecloth soaked in melted, unsalted butter. Reduce the heat 
  to 350 and place turkey in oven. 
   
  Make glaze of equal parts Kahlua and apricot preserves.  Sounds weird, but 
  it is delicious.  Baste turkey with glaze right over the top of the 
  cheesecloth.  (The taste actually permeates the meat.) 
   
  Peel the cloth off before presentation (bird is a dark, rich brown) and 
  serve w/ sauce. 
   
  Vicki's notes: 
   
  *  The basic technique is from "Joy of Cooking," although Rombauer says to 
  put it on a rack.  The glaze is from the Kahlua company. 
   
  *  The only time I used pop-up indicators is when I was given turkeys that 
  had them.  I ignored the indicator --> used standard cooking chart for 
  weight (should be on turkey).  You know how the turkey keeps cooking even 
  when it's not in the oven?  Sure enough, after he had been out of oven long 
  enough to serve, the indicator FINALLY popped up!
