This Roasted Herb Butter Turkey is sure to be a family favorite this holiday season. All you need is butter, a few simple herbs, chicken broth, and an onion to create this show stopping organic turkey!
Ingredients
-
1 Organic Prairie© Whole Turkey
4 cups organic chicken broth
- 1 large organic yellow onion, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) organic salted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon organic dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon organic dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon organic dried sage
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 3/4 teaspoon organic black pepper
- 5 sprigs organic fresh rosemary
- 5 springs organic fresh thyme
- 1 organic bay leaf
Directions
- Make sure your turkey is defrosted. Remove packaging and the bag of giblets from the turkey. Pat dry the turkey with paper towels.
- Preheat the oven to 325°F.
- Add the onions and chicken broth to a roasting pan with a roasting rack. Add the turkey to a roasting pan, breast side up.
- In a medium bowl, add the butter, dried rosemary, dried thyme, dried sage, sea salt, and pepper. Stir to combine completely.
- Starting at the neck and working your way down, slide fingers underneath the skin and rub half the butter between the bird and skin.
- With the remaining half of the butter, rub it on the outside of the skin.
- Add the fresh rosemary, thyme, and bay leaf inside the unstuffed turkey.
- Tent the turkey with foil.
Bake for 15 minutes per pound. Uncover for the last 30 minutes of baking to get a golden brown skin, and baste the Turkey with the pan juices every 10 minutes until done. Cook until internal temperature is 165°F.
- Serve with additional fresh rosemary and thyme on your platter.
