Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare the Herb Butter
Combine butter, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt and pepper in a bowl.
Tip: Make sure the butter is softened for easy mixing.
Rub the Turkey
Rub the herb butter mixture all over the turkey, including under the skin.
Tip: For extra flavor, gently lift the skin to brush the vegetable butter over the meat underneath.
Stuff the Turkey
Stuff the cavity with lemon halves and onion quarters.
Tip: These add moisture and aroma while the turkey cooks.
Roast the Turkey
Place the turkey on a rack in a roasting pan and pour chicken broth into the pan. Roast in a preheated oven at 325°F (165°C) for 3-4 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Tip: Baste the turkey every hour for golden, crispy skin.
Let the Turkey Rest
Remove the turkey from the oven and allow it to rest for 20 minutes before carving.
Tip: Resting helps the juices redistribute, making the meat more tender.
