3. In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, minced garlic, dried rosemary, thyme, sage, salt, and pepper.
4. Rub the butter mixture all over the turkey, including under the skin and inside the cavity.
5. Place the quartered lemon, orange, and onion inside the turkey cavity.
6. Place the turkey in a roasting pan and pour in the chicken broth.
7. Cover the turkey loosely with foil and roast in the preheated oven for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (75 degrees C) in the thickest part of the thigh.

9. Let the turkey rest for 20 minutes before carving and serving.
