Skewer neck skin of turkey to back. Tuck ends of drumsticks under band of skin across the tail. If there's no band of skin, tie drumsticks securely to tail. Twist wing tips under back. Rub turkey all over with softened butter. Place turkey, breast side down, on a rack in a roasting pan. If desired, insert an oven-going thermometer into the center of an inside thigh muscle. It should not touch bone. Cover loosely with foil. Roast 2 1/4 hours. Remove foil; turn turkey, breast side up, using turkey lifters. Cut band of skin or string between drumsticks so thighs cook evenly. Continue roasting for 1 3/4 to 2 1/4 hours or until thermometer registers 175°F. Juices should run clear, and drumsticks should move easily in their sockets. Brush turkey occasionally with desired glaze the last 45 minutes of roasting. Remove turkey from oven. Cover with foil; let stand 15 to 20 minutes before carving. Makes about 14 servings.
