Cover the turkey with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
Remove turkey from the refrigerator 1 hour before cooking. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Melt the butter and pour the melted butter over the turkey. Season the turkey with the salt and pepper.
Place the turkey in the oven and cook until the internal temperature is 165 degrees at the thickest part of the thigh using a thermometer.
Remove the turkey from the oven, tent with foil and let rest 30 minutes before slicing.
