Your Thanksgiving
meal will be extra special with this scrumptious roast
href="http://www.recipetips.com/recipes/meat-and-poultry/turkey/">turkey recipe. Butter blended together with rosemary and
thyme is inserted under the
skin on the breast of the turkey, providing the turkey with a hint of flavor from these fresh
herbs.
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Remove giblets from the turkey and rinse the turkey inside and out. Pat dry with a paper
towel.
Place turkey on a roasting rack inside a large roasting pan, breast side
up.
Salt and pepper both the inside and outside of the bird.
In a small bowl, combine the butter with 2 tablespoons of rosemary and 2 tablespoons of
thyme.
Mix until combined.
Slide your fingers between the skin and the breast meat of the turkey and gently lift up the
skin to form a "pocket". Go as far up the breast as possible.
Using your fingers, spread
the butter mixture into the pocket all around the breast meat. If you have any left over, rub it
on the outside of the skin, all over the bird.
Place quartered apple, onion, garlic,
rosemary and thyme sprigs inside the cavity of the turkey.
