INGREDIENTS:
1 turkey (10-15 lbs.)
1 stick unsalted butter
4 Tablespoons olive oil
1 ½ cups chicken broth (reduced sodium or sodium free*)
2 sprigs fresh Rosemary
1 bunch fresh thyme
1 Lemon
1 bulb garlic (cut in half crosswise)
1 Tablespoon Butter
1 teaspoon Rosemary
¾ teaspoons Oregano
¾ teaspoons Thyme
¾ teaspoons Sage
1/8 teaspoon Black Pepper
1/8 teaspoons Nutmeg
INSTRUCTIONS:
Optional: Brine your turkey 2-3 days prior to roasting.
Remove the neck and giblets and pat the turkey completely dry.
Let the turkey sit out for an hour or until it gets close to room temperature. This ensures it will cook evenly.
Stuff the turkey with 1 Tablespoon butter, ½ lemon, thyme, rosemary, and garlic cut in half crosswise. Optional: Truss the legs by tying kitchen twine around them.
Move oven rack 1 level below the center. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Massage the entire turkey with butter and olive oil, getting into every nook and cranny. If desired, rub the turkey with the seasoning mix.
Place ¾ cup chicken broth on the bottom of the pan. Place the turkey breast side down on a roasting rack, tucking the wings underneath the bird. Roast for 20 minutes. Rotate the pan 180 degrees. Roast for 20 more minutes.
Remove from the oven and decrease heat to 350° degrees. Flip it so that it’s breast-side-up (Use Ove-Gloves or oven mitts). Baste it with ¾ cup chicken broth.
*At this point, the thighs are around 110° and the breast is around 85° (just what we want)!
Insert a thermometer into the thickest part of the breast and return it to the oven.
Roast until the thermometer reads 160°. Remove from the oven. It will reach 165 degrees while it sits.
Pro Tip: As the turkey nears completion, check on the color and increase heat to 500 degrees if additional browning is desired.
Let it sit for a full 20-30 minutes to allow the meat to fully absorb the juices before you slice into it.
While the turkey rests, prepare turkey gravy with the drippings in the pan.
