Ingredients
- 1 frozen turkey
- fresh sage leaves
- Fresh rosemary sprigs
- 2 lemons
- 1 garlic head
Instructions
- Note the weight of the turkey on the packaging.
- Remove all packaging from the turkey. Place it in an ovenproof roasting pan of your choice. Leave the plastic leg clamp in tact during cooking. I removed mine to allow better air flow. Add the aromatics (herbs, lemon and garlic.)
- After about 2 hours, the Turkey has softened enough to remove giblets (if there are any) and neck. Use tongs to pull them out of the body cavity. Discard them or place them in the roasting pan to roast. They add flavor to the gravy.
- This is a good time to season the Turkey. I use Celtic sea salt and cracked black pepper.
- The Turkey is ready once an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. / 74 degrees C. is reached. Use a digital thermometer, like this one, for accuracy.
