Herb-Roasted Turkey
Servings: 8
Ingredients:
1 (12 pound) fresh turkey
Pepper, to taste
1 large bunch fresh thyme
1 lemon, halved
1 yellow onion, quartered
1 head garlic, halved crosswise
4 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350℉.
Remove the giblets and any excess fat from the turkey. Wash the inside and out and pat the outside dry.
Place the turkey in a large roasting pan. Sprinkle pepper inside the turkey and stuff the thyme, lemon, onion, and garlic.
Brush the outside of the turkey with butter and sprinkle with pepper.
Tie the legs together with a string and tuck the wing tips under the body of the turkey.
Roast the turkey for 2 1/2 hours, basting from time to time with pan juices, until the juices run clear when you cut between the leg and the thigh.
Remove the turkey to a cutting board and cover with foil; let it rest for 20 minutes.
Slice the turkey and enjoy!
