Prepare the Turkey
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Remove the turkey from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Pat it dry with paper towels. Rub the turkey all over with olive oil, then season generously with salt, pepper, rosemary, thyme, and minced garlic.

Roast the Turkey
Place the turkey breast side up on a roasting rack in a large roasting pan. Roast the turkey in the preheated oven for about 3 to 4 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Baste the turkey every 30 minutes with its own juices.
