The Perfect Turkey
Ingredients:
1 whole turkey
1 cup of unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon of garlic powder
1 tablespoon of onion powder
1 tablespoon of dried thyme
1 tablespoon of dried rosemary
1 tablespoon of dried sage
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of black pepper
1 onion, quartered
1 lemon, halved
1 cup of chicken broth
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, sage, salt, and black pepper.
Remove the giblets and neck from the turkey and pat it dry with paper towels.
Place the turkey on a rack in a roasting pan and rub the butter mixture all over the turkey, including under the skin.
Stuff the cavity of the turkey with the onion and lemon.
Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of the roasting pan.
Cover the turkey loosely with foil and roast for 3 hours, basting occasionally with the pan juices.
Remove the foil and continue to roast for an additional 1 hour, or until the internal temperature of the turkey reaches 165°F (75°C).
Let the turkey rest for 20 minutes before carving and serving.
Additional Tips:
If you want a crispy skin, remove the foil for the last 30 minutes of roasting. You can also add some diced carrots, celery, and potatoes to the roasting pan for some extra flavor and a delicious side dish. And don't forget to save the pan juices to make a flavorful gravy to accompany your turkey.
