Thanksgiving Recipe: Herb Butter Roasted Turkey
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Bake Time: 3-4 hours (approximately 15 minutes per pound)
Serves: 8-10
This herb butter turkey preparation method brings out juicy, flavorful results every time.
Ingredients:
- 12–14 lb whole turkey (adjust based on guests)
- 1–2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
- Fresh rosemary, thyme, and sage (a few sprigs each)
- 4–5 garlic cloves, minced
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 oranges, quartered
- 2 lemons, quartered
- Kitchen twine
Instructions:
- Create the Herb Butter
Mix softened butter with minced garlic, finely chopped fresh herbs, salt, and black pepper. This blend adds richness and flavor while keeping the meat moist.
- Prep the Turkey
- Pat the turkey dry with paper towels.
- Carefully lift the skin over the breast and thighs and spread the herb butter underneath.
- Rub the remaining butter over the outside of the bird for crisp, golden skin.
- Fill the Cavity
Stuff the turkey with quartered oranges, lemons, and leftover herb sprigs. This infuses the meat with a subtle citrus flavor and natural moisture.
- Tie and Position
Tie the legs together with kitchen twine to help the turkey roast evenly. Place it breast-side up on a rack inside a roasting pan.
- Roast in the Monogram ZSB9132VSS
Set your Monogram 5-in-1 oven to convection roast at 325°F. Estimate 15 minutes per pound, and start checking internal temps an hour before the expected finish. The breast should reach 165°F and thighs 175°F. A quality meat thermometer is your best friend here.
- Rest and Carve
Once roasted, tent the turkey with foil and let it rest for 20–30 minutes. This allows juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist, flavorful final product.
