  • 1 onion - large, rough chopped

Directions
PREP

COOK

READY IN
5 hrs
  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Blend the first eight ingredients in a mixing bowl.
  • Place the turkey on the rack in a roasting pan.
  • Starting on the neck end, gently slide your hand between the skin and the breast, thigh and drumstick to loosen the skin from the meat.
  • Using your fingers, spread the seasoned butter under the skin and all over the meat.
  • Fill the cavity of the bird with the celery, onion, carrot, and dried thyme.
  • Tie the legs together loosely with kitchen twine.
  • Brush the turkey with melted butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Pour 1 cup of the stock in the bottom of the roaster.
  • Place the bird in the oven and roast, uncovered for 30 minutes.
  • After the 30 minutes, reduce heat to 325° F.
  • Pour 1 cup stock over the turkey and continue roasting, basting occasionally with drippings.
  • Time will vary when turkey is done depending on the size of the bird.
  • If browning too much, lightly cover with aluminum foil.
  • When a thermometer inserted into the thick part of the thigh reaches 180° F, the turkey is done. A 10 1/2 pound turkey takes approximately 3 1/2 to 4 hours.
  • Transfer the turkey to a serving platter. Allow it to stand for 30 minutes so that the juices re-absorb. Lightly cover it with foil to keep it warm while it rests.
  • Carve and serve warm.
