Making a perfect Thanksgiving turkey is all about prep, seasoning, and cooking time. Here's a straightforward guide: Ingredients: 1 whole turkey (12-15 lbs) 1 cup butter, softened Fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, sage) Salt and pepper 2-3 garlic cloves, minced 1 large onion, quartered 2-3 carrots, chopped 2-3 celery stalks, chopped Chicken or turkey broth (about 1-2 cups) Instructions: Prep the Turkey: Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Remove the neck and giblets, then pat the turkey dry with paper towels. Season and Flavor: In a bowl, mix butter with minced garlic, salt, pepper, and chopped fresh herbs. Loosen the skin over the turkey breast carefully with your hand and spread some of the butter mixture under the skin. Rub the remaining butter mixture all over the outside of the turkey. Stuff the Turkey: Place onion, carrots, celery, and a few extra herb sprigs inside the cavity. This adds flavor and keeps the bird moist. Roast in the Oven: Place the turkey breast-side up on a roasting rack inside a large roasting pan. Pour a bit of broth into the pan to keep the turkey moist. Cover the turkey loosely with aluminum foil. Baste & Monitor: Roast for about 15 minutes per pound. About halfway through, remove the foil and baste the turkey with the pan juices every 30 minutes. Add more broth if the pan juices evaporate. Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer; it should reach 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh. Rest Before Carving: Let the turkey rest for at least 20-30 minutes before carving. This keeps it juicy and flavorful. Tips: Brining the turkey overnight (optional) enhances moisture. Add aromatics like apples or lemons to the cavity for added flavor.
