Ingredients
- 14 pound whole turkey thawed
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh sage
- 2 cloves garlic cut in half
- 2 apples quartered
- 1 yellow onion quartered
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Remove your turkey from its packaging, rinse and remove the giblets. Add turkey to your roasting pan and using your hands cover the whole outside of the turkey with melted butter.
- Sprinkle the outside of the turkey with kosher salt, black pepper, rosemary, thyme, and sage.
- Fill the cavity of the turkey with the heads of garlic, apples, and onion. If you have any leftover fresh herbs feel free to also add them to the cavity of the turkey.
- Place your turkey into the oven and roast for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes turn down the heat to 350 degrees F and cook for about 2 hours.
- Remove from the oven, drizzle the outside of the turkey with maple syrup and add back to the oven and continue cooking until the bird reaches an internal temperature (when checked near the thigh) of 160 degrees F. Then let the bird rest for at least 30 minutes before carving.
- If the bird starts to brown too quickly simply tent it lightly with foil so it does not burn.
