Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, remove the giblets and dry your turkey well with paper towels.
- Mix the butter with the salt, pepper, sage, thyme, rosemary and parsley.
- Put the turkey on a large sheet pan backbone facing up and using either kitchen shears or a large chef's knife cut out the backbone (I use a chefs knife and it took about 30 seconds) then turn back over and press the turkey down flat (you'll hear some bones breaking as it lays flat).
- Rub the butter all over the turkey and tuck the wings under before roasting for 90 minutes before raising the temperature to 400 and roasting for an additional 15 minutes (don't forget to rest the turkey for 10-15 minutes before carving).
