Step-by-Step Instructions
- Remove your frozen turkey from the fridge at least 1 hour before roasting, allowing it to reach room temperature. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Ensure you remove the giblets from the cavity.
- Season the turkey's cavity generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Stuff the cavity with quartered onion, lemon, and fresh herbs.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter with minced garlic and a pinch of kosher salt. Add remaining fresh herbs to create a fragrant herb butter.
- Loosen the skin of the turkey over the breast area gently. Use about one-third of the herb butter to rub underneath the skin, then spread the remaining butter over the exterior.
- Prepare your roasting pan by spreading chopped celery, onions, and carrots. Place the turkey on top.
- Roast the turkey for approximately 15 minutes per pound, checking internal temperature of the thigh. Cover with foil if browning too quickly.
- Once reached optimal temperature, remove from oven and let it rest for at least 30 minutes, tented with foil.
- Carve the turkey and save pan juices for making gravy. Serve alongside your favorite Thanksgiving sides.
