Steps:
- If the turkey is frozen: Thaw in the fridge, 24 hours for every 5 pounds of Turkey. I like to give myself 1 extra day, just to be safe.
- Remove the thawed turkey from the fridge 1 hour before roasting, to let it come to room temperature.
- Adjust your oven rack so the turkey will sit in the center of the oven. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
- Make the herb butter by combining room temperature butter, minced garlic, salt, pepper, one tablespoon fresh chopped rosemary, one tablespoon fresh chopped thyme, and half a tablespoon of fresh chopped sage. (You'll use the remaining fresh herbs for stuffing inside the cavity of the turkey)
- Remove turkey from packaging and remove the neck and giblets from the inside the cavities of the bird. (Reserve them for gravy, if you want, or discard them). Pat the turkey very dry with paper towels.
- Season the cavity of the turkey with salt and pepper. Stuff it with the quartered lemon, onion and apple and leftover herbs.
- Use your fingers to loosen and lift the skin above the breasts (on the top of the turkey) and smooth a few tablespoons of the herb butter underneath.
- Tuck the wings of the turkey underneath the turkey and set the turkey on a roasting rack inside a roasting pan*.
- Microwave the remaining herb butter mixture for 30 seconds (it doesn't need to be completely melted--just really softened). Use a basting brush to brush the remaining herb butter all over the outside of the turkey, legs and wings.
- Roast at 325 degrees F for about 13-15 minutes per pound, or until internal temperature (inserted on middle of thigh and breast) reaches about 165 degrees.
- (I remove the turkey from the oven once it reaches 160 degrees. Then, I tent it with foil, and let it rest on the counter. It will continue cooking under the foil, to reach 165 degrees F.)
- ***Check the turkey about halfway through cooking, and once the skin gets golden brown, cover the top of the turkey with tinfoil, to protect the breast meat from overcooking. Alternately, you could start cooking the turkey with it tented in foil, then during the last hour or so of cooking you can take the foil off to let the turkey brown.
- Allow turkey to rest for 20-30 minutes before carving. https://tastesbetterfromscratch.com/how-to-carve-a-turkey/
- Reserve any drippings and juice remaining in your roasting pan to make turkey gravy.

- Preheat the oven to 325F* (See Notes). Place the thawed turkey into a large baking dish (disposable or otherwise) with deep sides. Tip - If you are going the disposable pan route, I recommend placing a layer of vegetables such as thinly-sliced carrots and potatoes underneath the turkey to prevent burning on the bottom since disposable pans are so much thinner than an actual roasting pan.
- Remove the giblets and neck (both found inside the cavity) and discard (you could keep the giblets for gravy-making but I don't and in my gravy recipe aren't necessary).
- Tuck the wings underneath the turkey to help stabilize it, cut off any excess skin that is loose and just hanging, and pat dry with paper towels; set aside.
- Place the softened butter into a medium-sized bowl. Add the salt, pepper, parsley, thyme, rosemary, oregano, sage, and mix with a wooden spoon until combined.

- Brine the turkey with the wet or dry brine method. NOTE: To avoid spreading bacteria, do not rinse the raw, pre-brined turkey with water. For a wet brine, brine the turkey for 12-24 hours then remove the turkey from the brine and drain the turkey well. Place the turkey on the rack in a roasting pan, pat dry, and truss the legs of the turkey and tuck the wings under the bird. Place the turkey in the roasting pan uncovered in the refrigerator for 12-24 hours to air dry and the skin to dry out. For a dry brine, salt the bird with the brine mixture and refrigerate uncovered for 24-28 hours. Do not rinse the brine from the bird. Brush off any large salt particles not absorbed into the skin.
- Bring the turkey to room temperature for 1 hour before cooking. Adjust the oven rack to the lowest part of the oven and preheat to 425°F. Stuff the cavity of the turkey with a few of the vegetables and herbs then scatter the rest under the rack on the bottom of the roasting pan. Use your fingers to gently pry the skin from the breast meat. Use the handle of a spoon or fork to work your way between the skin and meat if your fingers won't reach, being careful not to puncture or tear the skin. Rub 2 tablespoons of the softened butter and under the skin, flattening it to evenly cover the breast meat.
- Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of the butter in a small saucepan. Stir in 1/2 cup of the white wine. Let the butter and wine mixture cool slightly so it becomes a bit clumpy. Use a basting brush to brush the butter mixture over the skin of the breast, legs, thighs and wings. Add any extra to the roasting pan. Sprinkle the top of the turkey with freshly ground black pepper. Add the rest of the wine and 1-2 cups of water to the roasting pan.
- Roast the turkey for 45 minutes. Lightly tent the top of the turkey with a piece of aluminum foil and cook for 15 more minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F and roast for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Check the temperature of the turkey midway through roasting and add more water if necessary. Roast until the breast registers 160-175°F and up to 180°F for the thickest part of the thigh away from the bone, and the juices run clear when the thermometer is removed.
