Turkey Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

    Remove the giblets from the turkey and pat it dry with paper towels.

    Season the Turkey

    Rub the entire turkey with olive oil, then generously season with salt, black pepper, minced garlic, thyme, and rosemary both inside and out.

  4. 4

    Place the turkey on a roasting rack in a roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for about 3 to 3.5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
