| Unsalted butter (softened) | 150 grams |
| Olive oil | 2 tablespoons |
| Garlic cloves (minced) | 4 cloves |
| Fresh rosemary (chopped) | 1 tablespoon |
| Fresh thyme (chopped) | 1 tablespoon |
| Fresh parsley (chopped) | 1 tablespoon |
| Lemon | 1 whole lemon |
| Salt | 2 teaspoons |
| Black pepper | 1 teaspoon |

🍽️ Step-by-Step Instructions (Beginner Friendly!)
Even if you’ve never cooked a turkey before, these steps will guide you with clarity and confidence.
1. Prepare the Turkey 🧼
-
Remove the turkey from its packaging and take out the giblets (usually inside the cavity).
-
Pat the turkey completely dry with paper towels — this helps the skin crisp beautifully.
-
Place the turkey on a roasting tray.
2. Make the Herb Butter 🧈🌿
-
In a bowl, mix the softened butter, olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, salt, and black pepper.
-
Cut the lemon in half and set it aside.
This herb butter is the secret to juicy, flavorful turkey! ✨
3. Season the Turkey 🍋
-
Gently loosen the skin on the breast area using your fingers — do this slowly to avoid tearing.
-
Spread half of the herb butter under the skin for deep flavor.
-
Rub the remaining butter over the outside of the turkey.
-
Place the lemon halves inside the cavity.
-
Arrange the carrots, onions, and celery around the turkey in the roasting tray.
4. Roast the Turkey 🔥
-
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
-
Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of the roasting tray.
-
Roast the turkey for approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes.
-
Every 30 minutes, carefully spoon the liquid from the tray over the turkey to keep it moist.
-
The turkey is done when the internal temperature reaches 74 degrees Celsius in the thickest part of the thigh.
5. Rest and Serve 🍽️
-
Once finished, let the turkey rest for 20 minutes before carving.
-
This step is essential — it allows the juices to settle, ensuring tender, juicy slices.
