Turkey Preparation

Method
Preparation
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
- 2
Prepare the Turkey
Remove the turkey from its packaging and pat it dry with paper towels. Make sure to remove any giblets from the cavity.
- 3
Season the Turkey
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Rub this mixture all over the turkey, including under the skin and inside the cavity.

Roasting
- 5
Prepare the Roasting Pan
Place the turkey breast-side up on a rack in a roasting pan.
- 6
Add Cooking Liquid
In the bottom of the roasting pan, add the chicken broth and white wine (if using). This will help keep the turkey moist while it cooks.
- 7
Roast the Turkey
Roast the turkey in the preheated oven for approximately 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) when measured at the thickest part of the thigh.
- 8
Baste the Turkey
Every 30 minutes, baste the turkey with the pan juices to keep it moist.
- 9
Rest the Turkey
Once the turkey is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 20-30 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute.
