How To Make Rosemary-Roasted Turkey
Try this roasted rosemary turkey for your next potluck. The juicy meat is rubbed with fragrant and flavorful herbs for a tasty bite.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup olive oil
- 2 tbsp garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp rosemary, fresh and chopped
- 1 tbsp basil, fresh and chopped
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
- 12 lb turkey, whole
- salt and ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
-
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic, rosemary, basil, Italian seasoning. Season with salt and black pepper then set aside.
-
Make sure to wash the turkey inside and out and pat it dry. Remove any large fat deposits and loosen the skin from the breast.
-
Slowly work the fingers between the breast and the skin and work it loose to the end of the drumstick, being careful not to tear the skin.
-
Using the hand, spread a generous amount of rosemary mixture under the breast skin and down the thigh and leg.
-
Rub the remainder of the rosemary mixture in the entire chicken. Use a toothpick to seal skin over any exposed breast meat, if necessary around the entire chicken.
-
Place the turkey on a rack in a roasting pan. Add about ¼-inch of water to the bottom of the pan.
-
Roast in a preheated oven for 3 to 4 hours or until the internal temperature of the turkey reaches 180 degrees F.
-
Remove from the oven and serve!
