Step 1

Defrost Turkey (See post for when to take your turkey out of the freezer)

Step 2

Remove From Package

Step 3

Remove Neck and Season. Generously rub softened (or room temperature) SALTED butter to cover your turkey breast, or a whole turkey, under the skin! A medium 12- to 14-lb turkey will need a half cup, 1 cube, of butter. Starting at the neck hole (smaller hole), carefully push your hands under turkey skin (careful not to rip turkey skin, and do NOT separate skin completely from turkey.) Massage most of the butter UNDER the turkeys' skin, and a little over the top of the skin.

Step 4

Add aromatics (Sage, Thyme, carrot, and onion pot to the turkey and roasting pan.

Step 5

Cover Turkey with Aluminum Foil and bake for half the time (about 2 hours for a large turkey)

Step 6

Uncover Turkey and roast for the remaining time or till it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees at the deepest point. And remove from oven.

Step 7

Let Turkey rest for 20 minutes after removing from oven.

Step 8

Enjoy!
