Ingredients:

1) Whole Turkey

The star of the show, the turkey, is the most important ingredient for this recipe. Make sure to buy a fresh, plump turkey that is not frozen. The size of the turkey will depend on the number of guests you are serving, but a good rule of thumb is to estimate 1 pound of turkey per person. Rinse the turkey thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels before cooking.

2) Seasonings and Herbs

For the perfect flavor, we need to season the turkey generously. You can use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and poultry seasoning to rub all over the turkey. Additionally, we will stuff the turkey with fresh herbs such as rosemary, thyme, and sage to infuse even more flavor into the meat.

3) Butter

To keep the turkey moist and add a rich flavor, we will be using unsalted butter. Make sure to soften the butter before rubbing it all over the turkey.

4) Chicken Broth

To create a flavorful base for the turkey, we will be using chicken broth. This will also help keep the turkey moist during the cooking process.

5) Vegetables

To add depth of flavor, we will be using onions, carrots, and celery to stuff inside the turkey. These vegetables will also serve as a bed for the turkey to rest on while cooking.

Instructions:

1) Prep the Turkey

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Rinse the turkey thoroughly and pat it dry with paper towels. Make sure to remove any giblets from the inside of the turkey. Place the turkey in a roasting pan and set aside.

2) Season the Turkey

In a small bowl, mix together salt, pepper, garlic powder, and poultry seasoning. Rub this mixture all over the turkey, making sure to cover both the outside and inside of the bird. Next, stuff the turkey with the fresh herbs.

3) Add the Butter and Vegetables

Using your fingers, carefully separate the skin from the breast of the turkey. This will create a pocket for the butter. Place small slices of the softened butter under the skin, covering as much of the breast as possible. Next, stuff the cavity of the turkey with the onions, carrots, and celery.

4) Add Chicken Broth

Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of the roasting pan, making sure it covers the bottom evenly. This will create steam and keep the turkey moist during cooking.

5) Roast the Turkey

Cover the roasting pan with foil and place it in the oven. Cook for approximately 15 minutes per pound of turkey, removing the foil for the last 30 minutes to allow the turkey to brown. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

6) Let it Rest

Once the turkey is fully cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for at least 20 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute and keep the meat moist.
