Plump turkeys, pumpkin pies, family and
friends - it's Thanksgiving! This year,
count on some of our kitchen-tested
favorites to help you through the holiday.
From stuffing to pies to sumptuous sides,
you'll find it all.
1 (10 to 14-lb.) fresh hen turkey
1/3 cup chopped fresh herbs (rosemary,
basil, marjoram, sage)
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 tbsp. minced garlic
1/2 tsp. pepper
Directions
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: approx. 3 hours
Preheat oven to 325°F. Rinse turkey well and pat dry; place
breast side up on a rack in a large, shallow roasting pan.
Combine remaining ingredients in a small bowl; mix well.
Spread mixture over surface of turkey, rubbing some between
the skin and the meat. Insert an oven-safe meat thermometer
deep into the lower part of the thigh muscle, but not
touching the bone. Place in preheated oven. When turkey is
about two-thirds done, loosely cover the breast and top of
the drumsticks with a piece of foil to prevent overcooking
of the breast. Cook until thermometer reaches 180°F
(approximately 3 hours). Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes
before carving.
Purchase 1 to 1-1/2 lb. per serving.
