Ingredients
- 12 pounds turkey
- 4 ounces butter diced
- 1 Tablespoon kosher salt
- 2 lemons cut into wedges
- 1 bunch fresh herbs rosemary, thyme or oregano
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees F.
- Wipe turkey dry and remove giblets. There is no need to rinse! (see information in post)
- Carefully separate skin from turkey with your fingers. Slide some butter and salt under the skin of the turkey.
- Fill cavity of bird with lemon wedges, herbs and more salt.
- Melt remaining butter and pour over bird. Baste turkey every 30 minutes (if desired)
- Roast until thermometer inserted in thickest part of thigh registers 165 degrees F.
- Remove from oven and tent with foil and allow to rest 20 minutes.
Notes
- Cooking time varies depending on your oven, the size of the bird.
- We usually purchase a kosher turkey which is pre-brined, thus eliminating the need to brine.
- A general rule of thumb for an unstuffed turkey is 15-20 minutes per pound at 325 degrees F.
- How much meat per person? Figure on 1 pound per person, which allows for bones and leftovers.
