Turkey and Seasoning

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Turkey

    Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Remove the turkey giblets and pat the turkey dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Season the Turkey

    In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, and rosemary. Rub this mixture all over the turkey, including under the skin. Squeeze the juice from the halved lemon over the turkey and place the lemon halves inside the cavity.

  3. 3

    Roast the Turkey

    Place the turkey breast side up on a rack in a roasting pan. Roast in the preheated oven for about 13-15 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh.

  4. 4

    Rest and Carve

    Once cooked, remove the turkey from the oven and let it rest for at least 20-30 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Carve the turkey and serve with chopped fresh parsley as garnish.
