Ingredients
  • 12-14 pound turkey (preferably Heritage)
  • 12 tablespoons butter (1 stick + 3 tablespoons)
  • ½ cup Penzy's Parisien Herbs
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Brine turkey if desired overnight. (Strongly recommend brining as it helps keep turkey moist, you can do a liquid brine or simple salt brine without liquid.)
  2. Heat oven to 325 degrees.
  3. Bring turkey to room temperature. Rinse if you brined turkey over night. Lightly salt and pepper turkey.
  4. Partially melt butter, add herbs to butter. Place butter mixture gently between turkey skin and meat, and rub over outside of turkey. Place in oven and roast for 15 minutes per pound or approximately 3 - 3½ hours.
  5. Remove from oven and rest for about 20 minutes.
