Ingredients:

​

• 1 whole turkey

• Olive oil

• Fresh rosemary, thyme, and sage

• Minced garlic (home-made)

• 1 lemon (sliced)

• Mrs. Morton Lite Salt and pepper to taste

 

Instructions:

 

Preparation:

​

• Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

• Remove the turkey from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.

 

Rinsing and Patting Dry:

​

• Rinse the turkey under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.

 

Seasoning:

​

• Rub the turkey with olive oil to help the skin crisp during roasting.

• Season the turkey inside and out with salt and pepper.

• Gently lift the skin and rub minced garlic directly onto the meat.

• Place fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, sage) and lemon slices inside the turkey cavity.

 

Tying Legs:

​

• If the turkey legs are not tied together, use kitchen twine to tie them. This helps the turkey cook evenly.

 

Roasting:

​

• Place the turkey on a rack in a roasting pan.

• Roast the turkey in the preheated oven. The general rule is about 15 minutes per pound, but follow the recommended cooking times based on the turkey's weight.

• Baste the turkey every 30 minutes with pan juices to keep it moist.

 

Checking Doneness:

​

• Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The thickest part of the turkey (usually the thigh) should reach 165°F (74°C).

• Enjoy your kidney-friendly Roasted Turkey!
