Prepping the Turkey
Gather Your Ingredients
Before we get started, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients for your roasted Thanksgiving turkey. The main ingredient, of course, is the turkey itself. You'll also need butter, herbs, and spices to create a delicious rub for the turkey. Don't forget to thaw your turkey in the fridge at least 24 hours before cooking.
Clean and Season
Once your turkey is thawed, it's time to clean and season it. Remove the giblets and neck from the cavity and rinse the turkey with cold water. Pat it dry with paper towels and then season it with a generous amount of salt and pepper. You can also add in some garlic, rosemary, and thyme for extra flavor.
Roasting the Turkey
Preheat Your Oven
Set your oven to 350°F and let it preheat while you prepare the turkey. Make sure to position the oven rack in the lower third of the oven.
Butter It Up
Take a stick of butter and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes until it softens. Then, using your hands, gently loosen the skin of the turkey and spread the butter under the skin, covering as much of the breast and legs as possible.
Roast and Baste
Place the turkey on a roasting rack in a roasting pan and tie the legs together with kitchen twine. Pour chicken broth into the bottom of the pan and then place the turkey in the oven. Every 30 minutes, baste the turkey with the juices in the pan to keep it moist and flavorful.
Check the Temperature
After about 2.5 hours, check the temperature of the turkey using a meat thermometer. When it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F in the thickest part of the thigh, it's done! Remove it from the oven and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before carving.
Impress Your Guests
With this roasted Thanksgiving turkey recipe from Ree Drummond, you'll have a perfectly cooked and delicious turkey that will have your guests coming back for seconds. So don't stress about cooking the turkey this Thanksgiving, follow this recipe and impress everyone at the table. Happy feasting!
