Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 whole fresh or frozen turkey
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) garlic, finely chopped
- 3 tbsp (45 mL) butter, softened
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) olive oil
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) fresh poultry herbs, chopped
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) onion, finely chopped
- 1 tsp (5 mL) Dijon mustard
- 1 1/2 tsp (7.5 mL) sea salt
- 1/2 tsp (2.5 mL) cracked black pepper
Method
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) for convection roast or 375°F (190°C) in a regular oven.
- Remove neck and giblets.
- Combine all seasoning ingredients from garlic to black pepper.
- Carefully lift skin away from the breast and thighs – do not tear it. Tuck seasoning mixture between skin and meat, spreading it around as much as possible; put any extra inside the cavity.
- Rub outside of the skin with olive oil.
- Place turkey on a wire rack inside the roasting pan so that the juices are able to drain.
- Cover the top of the bird loosely with foil. Place in oven.
- Remove foil after 1-2 hours depending on size of bird. A meat thermometer should read 170°F (77°C) when the bird is done or you can cut into the joint between the thigh and the leg when you think it is done.
