Step 1
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Step 2
Remove the turkey from the refrigerator; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Tuck the turkey wings under the body.
Step 3
Place the butter, garlic, sage, rosemary, thyme, parsley and salt and pepper to taste in the bowl of a food processor. Blend until smooth.
Step 4
Season the cavity of the turkey with salt and pepper, then stuff with the onion, lemon and assorted herbs. Tie the turkey legs together with kitchen twine.
Step 5
Rub the herb butter all over the outside of the turkey and under the skin of the breast. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Step 6
Place the chicken broth in a medium saucepan on the stove and keep warm over low heat.
Step 7
Place the turkey in a roasting pan and bake for 45 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and continue roasting, basting the turkey every 30 minutes with the chicken broth, until the turkey is done. This will take approximately 3 hours and you'll know that the turkey is done when a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the turkey thigh registers 165 degrees F.
Step 8
If the turkey seems like it's getting overly browned during the cooking process, cover it with foil.
Step 9
Remove the turkey from the oven and tent loosely with foil. Let the turkey rest for 25 minutes. Slice, then serve.
