This recipe has been passed down through generations, creating that golden, crispy skin and tender, juicy meat that makes everyone gather around the table. *Ingredients:* • 1 whole turkey (12-14 lbs), thawed and patted dry • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened • 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped • 2 tbsp fresh thyme leaves • 2 tbsp fresh sage, chopped • 4 cloves garlic, minced • 2 tsp salt • 1 tsp black pepper • 1 lemon, halved • 1 onion, quartered • 4 cups turkey or chicken broth (for basting) *Instructions:* 1. *Prep the turkey:* Remove giblets and neck. Pat the turkey completely dry inside and out with paper towels (this is key for crispy skin!). Let it sit at room temperature for 1 hour before roasting. 2. *Make the herb butter:* Mix softened butter with rosemary, thyme, sage, garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined. 3. *Season generously:* Gently loosen the skin over the breast and thighs. Spread half the herb butter directly under the skin. Rub the remaining butter all over the outside of the turkey. 4. *Stuff the cavity:* Place lemon halves and onion quarters inside the turkey cavity for extra flavor and moisture. 5. *Roast low and slow:* Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Place turkey breast-side up on a roasting rack in a large pan. Pour 2 cups of broth into the bottom of the pan. Tent loosely with foil. 6. *Baste and roast:* Roast for about 15 minutes per pound (3-3.5 hours for a 12-14 lb turkey). Remove foil during the last 45 minutes for golden browning. Baste every 30 minutes with pan drippings and remaining broth. 7. *Check for doneness:* Turkey is done when a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 165°F (74°C). The juices should run clear. 8. *Rest before carving:* Let the turkey rest for 20-30 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat moist and tender. *Pro Tips:* • Start checking temperature 30 minutes before estimated done time • Save the drippings to make incredible gravy • If the skin browns too quickly, tent with foil • A dry turkey is a happy turkey — pat it thoroughly before seasoning!
