Americans today still cherish the fresh air of freedom, in which we can raise our families and worship God as we choose without fear of persecution.

Fill the cavity with the chopped onions and other ingredients.

Take a roasting pan and put the turkey with the breast-side facing upwards. Use melted butter and brush evenly over the turkey. Cover it with foil and roast for around 2 hours.

Take it out and put some more melted butter over your turkey after opening the foil. Raise the temperature of the oven to degrees F and roast for one more hour. Use an instant-read thermometer in the thickest part of the meat and check for degrees F.

Your turkey is ready now to be served. Take a large pan and put the hot water, sugar, cocoa in it. Bring it to a gentle boil and stir continuously.
