Method
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
- Remove the turkey from its packaging and take out the giblets from the cavity. Rinse it under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.
- In a bowl, mix the softened butter, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, rosemary, thyme, and sage. Rub this mixture all over the turkey, including under the skin for more flavor.
- Transfer the turkey to a roasting pan, breast side up.
- Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of the roasting pan.
- Loosely cover the turkey with aluminum foil.
- Place the turkey in the oven and roast for about 2.5 hours.
- Remove the foil during the last 30 minutes to allow the skin to crisp up.
- Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer, which should reach 165°F (75°C) in the thickest part of the thigh.
- Let the turkey rest for at least 20 minutes before carving.
Notes
Serve with classic sides like mashed potatoes and gravy.
