How to cook a turkey and make gravy to go along with it?

this is easier than you think...brush some vegetable oil in the turkey, season with salt and pepper or, poultry seasoning if you have.. season the inside of the turkey as well. Put in a roasting pan add a cup or two of water.(this will be your gravy)..bake at 350 for a couple hours, covered, depending on the size of your turkey. when the turkey is almost done, take the cover off and bake 20 or so minutes until the turkey gets brown. strain your juice you used to cook your turkey with and put in a sauce pan. now mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 1/4 cup of milk and still until well mixed...get your turkey juices to a boil, then slowly add the cornstarch mixture until you get the thickness that you like. salt and pepper to taste. there you go easy, turkey gravy..
