Ingredients
-
1 Organic Prairie® Whole Turkey
-
4 cups chicken broth
-
1 large yellow onion, roughly chopped
-
1/2 cup (113 grams) Organic Valley® Salted Butter, softened
-
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
-
1 teaspoon dried thyme
-
1 teaspoon dried sage
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
-
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
-
5 sprigs fresh rosemary
-
5 springs fresh thyme
-
1 bay leaf
Directions
- Make sure your turkey is defrosted. Remove packaging and the bag of giblets from the turkey. Pat dry the turkey with paper towels.
- Preheat the oven to 325°F.
- Add the onions and chicken broth to a roasting pan with a roasting rack. Add the turkey to a roasting pan, breast side up.
- In a medium bowl, add the butter, dried rosemary, dried thyme, dried sage, sea salt, and pepper. Stir to combine completely.
- Starting at the neck and working your way down, slide fingers underneath the skin and rub half the butter between the bird and skin.
- With the remaining half of the butter, rub it on the outside of the skin.
- Add the fresh rosemary, thyme, and bay leaf inside the unstuffed turkey.
- Tent the turkey with foil.
Bake for 15 minutes per pound. Uncover for the last 30 minutes of baking to get a golden brown skin, and baste the Turkey with the pan juices every 10 minutes until done. Cook until internal temperature is 165°F.
- Serve with additional fresh rosemary and thyme on your platter.
