    Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Remove the turkey giblets and pat the turkey dry with paper towels. Rub the butter all over the turkey, including under the skin. Season generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Stuff the cavity with fresh rosemary and thyme.

    Roast the Turkey

    Place the turkey in a roasting pan and pour chicken broth around it. Roast for about 13-15 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Baste the turkey every 30 minutes with the pan juices.
