stuff

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.

roast
180 minutes

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).

rest
20 minutes

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.
