Ingredients
-
1 whole turkey (10-12 lbs for 8 people, thawed if previously frozen)
-
salt & pepper
- 1 onion, quartered
- A few sprigs of fresh herbs (thyme, rosemary, sage)
- 2 tablespoons onion powder 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 2 sticks of unsalted butter, softened 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
Directions
- Preheat Turbo E to 500°F. Pat the Turkey dry with paper towels. Season the cavity with salt and pepper. Stuff it with the onion quarters and sprigs of herbs.
Season: Season the turkey with garlic powder, oninion powder and smoked paprika. Loosen the skin of the turkey. Then rub some of the herb butter between the skin and turkey breasts. Rub the outside of the turkey with the remaining herb butter.
Roast: Place the turkey breast-side up in a roasting rack with a pan.
Cooking Time: Roast the turkey for about 120 minutes(10-12 lbs turkey) or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh.
Rest: Once done, remove the turkey and let it rest for at least 15 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
Serve: Carve the turkey and serve it as the centerpiece of your Thanksgiving feast.
