High Roast Turkey, Deconstructed

Thanksgiving for one.
Salt everything and let it sit in your refrigerator for 3 days. Refrigerate uncovered overnight.
Rub the turkey with melted butter. Bake an hour at 400F on a broiling pan with assorted veggies underneath. I used yams, carrots, celery, and onions. 
Your target temps are 165 for breast and 175 for dark meat. Dark meat is near impossible to overcook. White meat dries quickly.
I overcooked on the breasts this time. At one hour, temp was 150. After 10 minutes longer, temp was 175. Next time, I will put flavored butter under the skin of the breast.
