Pat the turkey dry with paper towels.

Mix the salt and pepper together in a small mixing bowl. Rub the seasoning mixture inside and out.  Let the turkey sit at room temperature for at least an hour before roasting.

Pour the chicken broth around the turkey in the pan.

Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 12

Cook the turkey for 2-3 more hours until the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F when the thermometer is inserted into the thickest part of the turkey.

Baste the turkey with the broth from the pan every 20-30 minutes. The bake time will vary based on the size of the turkey.
