In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 2 cloves of minced garlic, and a tablespoon each of chopped rosemary, sage, and thyme. Rub this mixture all over the turkey, making sure to get under the skin and in the cavity. Season generously with salt and pepper.
