Shady Brook Farms Turkey Roast
Holiday turkey has to turn out perfectly! And here's how to do it.
Equipment
- Aluminum Foil
- Roasting Pan
Ingredients
- 1 Shady Brook Farms Fresh Young Turkey (Mine was 11 lbs.)
- ½ Onion
- ½ Lemon
- 3 sprigs Rosemary
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- ½ tbsp Sage
- ½ tbsp Thyme
- Salt and Pepper to Taste
Instructions
- First, preheat the oven to 325 °F (160 °C).
- Pat the turkey dry with some paper towels.
- Rub the inside of the turkey with some salt and pepper. Then, put the halves of the onion and lemon into the turkey, along with the rosemary.
- Mix the olive oil with other herbs, salt, and pepper, and rub it into your turkey from the outside.
- Once seasoned, place the turkey breast-side on a roasting pan rack and cover loosely with foil. Bake for about 13 minutes per pound. I baste the turkey every 30 minutes with the juices while it cooks.
- The turkey is done when a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reaches 165-170 °F (around 75 °C). The juices should also run clear. Once baked, let the turkey rest for 20-30 minutes before carving and serving.
