How To Make Herb-Roasted Turkey
Ingredients
- 14 lb turkey
- 1/2 cup rosemary sprigs, fresh
- 1/2 cup sage leaves, fresh
- 1 apple, quartered
- 1 stalk celery, halved
- 1 onion, halved
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
Instructions
-
Remove giblets and neck from turkey; reserve for other uses if desired. Rinse turkey with cold water and pat dry.
-
Loosen skin from the turkey breast a bit not totally detaching. Place rosemary and sage under skin then smooth skin over herbs and back into place.
-
Place apple celery and onion into the neck cavity.
-
Place the turkey breast side up on a rack in a shallow roasting pan and brush with melted butter. Cover turkey loosely with a "tent" of aluminum foil.
-
Bake at 325 degrees until meat thermometer registers about 180 degrees. This should take from 3 1/2-4 hours but begin checking after 3 hours.
-
Remove turkey and let stand 15 minutes before carving. Serve with gravy.
