Thanksgiving Turkey Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 whole turkey (12-14 lbs)
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 2 tablespoons dried thyme
• 2 tablespoons dried rosemary
• 2 tablespoons garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F.
2. Mix together the softened butter, dried thyme, dried rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to create a herb butter mixture.
3. Rub the herb butter mixture all over the turkey, making sure to coat it evenly.
4. Place the turkey in a roasting pan and cover it with foil.
5. Roast the turkey for approximately 3 hours, removing the foil during the last hour to allow the skin to crisp up.
6. Once the internal temperature of the turkey reaches 165°F, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 20 minutes before carving.
7. Serve the Thanksgiving turkey with your favorite sides and enjoy!
