Ingredients
Marinade:

1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup honey
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried sage
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Turkey:
12-14 pound whole turkey
1 large onion, quartered
1 large lemon, quartered
1 large orange, quartered
4 sprigs fresh rosemary
4 sprigs fresh thyme
4 sprigs fresh sage
4 tablespoons butter, softened
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Make the marinade:
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, garlic, Dijon mustard, dried rosemary, dried thyme, dried sage, salt, and pepper until well combined.
2. Prepare the turkey:
Remove the giblets from the turkey and rinse it inside and out with cold water. Pat dry with paper towels.
3. Marinate the turkey:
Place the turkey in a large resealable bag and pour the marinade over it. Massage the marinade into the turkey, making sure it is evenly coated. Seal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
4. Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
5. Stuff the turkey:
Remove the turkey from the marinade and discard the excess marinade. Stuff the cavity of the turkey with the quartered onion, lemon, and orange, along with the fresh rosemary, thyme, and sage. Truss the legs together with kitchen twine.
6. Season the turkey:
Place the turkey in a roasting pan and rub the softened butter all over the skin. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Roast the turkey:
Roast the turkey for 2-3 hours, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 165°F (74°C). Baste the turkey with the pan juices every 30 minutes.
8. Let the turkey rest:
Once the turkey is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 30 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute and make the turkey more tender and juicy.
Serve your deliciously marinated Christmas turkey with your favorite sides and enjoy a holiday meal that is sure to impress. Happy cooking!
