Preheat oven to 350^o. Shake flour in cooking bag to coat. Rub olive oil on turkey, inside and out. Salt and pepper turkey inside and out, and place in bag. Place bag in a roaster with plenty of room to spare. Surround turkey with onions, parsley, garlic, and oranges. (Some vegetables and fruit can go inside the turkey cavity. Add wine and water. Tie up bag and poke six slits in its top with big kitchen knife. Bake until brown and done (timer pops or breast temperature reaches 170^o).
