Steps to follow
1
In a bowl, mix softened butter with chopped herbs, salt, and pepper to create the herb butter.
2
Remove turkey giblets and neck, rinse turkey under cold water, and pat dry. Rub the outside and cavity with olive oil.
3
Loosen the skin over the turkey breast and thighs; spread half of the herb butter under the skin. Stuff the cavity with onion, garlic, and lemon. Tie the legs together with kitchen string and tuck the wing tips under the body.
4
Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Place turkey in a roasting pan, and spread the remaining herb butter over the top. Pour chicken broth into the bottom of the pan. Roast the turkey, basting occasionally with pan juices, until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 165°F (74°C).
5
Remove turkey from the oven, cover loosely with foil, and let it rest for at least 20 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring the turkey is moist and flavorful.
