Preheat the oven to 350F, once preheated drop the temperature to 325F. Pat the turkey dry with paper towel. Brush melted butter over turkey.
Place turkey in a bag, then using toothpick, place 5-7 toothpicks on top of the turkey and turkey legs so the bag doesn't touches the skin. It helps avoid the bag getting stuck to the skin.
Seal the bag and poke it in few spots using a knife. Place the turkey on a V rack in a heavy roasting pan, and into the oven it goes.
Bake turkey until it is cooked and the juices run clear, about 4¼ to 4½ hours. The meat thermometer should read at least 180 degrees F when inserted into the thigh meat.
