Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Rinse the turkey under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Remove giblets from the cavity.
- In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter with chopped fresh herbs and minced garlic. Mix until fully blended.
- Loosen the skin of the turkey and spread the herb butter underneath the skin and over the exterior. Season thoroughly with salt and pepper.
- Pour chicken broth into a large roasting pan. Place the turkey breast side up and cover loosely with aluminum foil.
- Roast the turkey for approximately 13-15 minutes per pound, about 3-4 hours total. Remove foil in the last hour to brown the skin.
- Check doneness with a meat thermometer, aiming for 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh.
- Once cooked, remove from the oven, tent with foil, and let it rest for 30 minutes before carving.
