Category: Turkey
    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:   2-5 hrs

14 pounds whole turkey
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 bunch fresh sage
1 bunch fresh thyme
1 bunch fresh savory
1 medium carrot, cut in chunks
1 medium celery stalk, cut in chunks
1 small onion, cut in chunks
salt and freshly ground black pepper


1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Wash turkey well under cold running water. Pat dry. Remove excess fat from cavity. Tuck wings underneath body.
2. Mix melted butter, plus 2 tablespoons each chopped sage, thyme, and savory. Stuff turkey cavity with carrot, onion, celery and a few sprigs each of sage, thyme and savory.
3. Place turkey, breast side up, on a V-shaped rack in a large roasting pan. Brush about half the herb butter mixture over top and sides of turkey. Sprinkle both the cavity and outside with salt and pepper.
4. Roast turkey, uncovered, for one hour. Brush with herb butter mixture and continue roasting for approximately 2 1/2 hours, basting occasionally with pan juices, until the internal temperature in the thickest part of the thigh measures 180 degrees F or the breast measures 170 degrees F.
5. Remove pan from oven and allow the turkey to rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
