Ingredients
  

  • 1 whole young turkey Granny's seasoned, thawed
  • 1 tbsp garlic finely chopped
  • 3 tbsp butter softened
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh poultry herbs chopped
  • 2 tbsp shallot finely chopped
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • ½ tsp freshly cracked black pepper  

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) for convection roast or 375°F (190°C) in a regular oven.
  • Remove neck and giblets.
  • Combine all seasoning ingredients from garlic to black pepper.
  • Carefully lift skin away from the breast and thighs — do not tear.
  • Tuck seasoning mixture between skin and meat, spreading it around as much as possible. Put any extra inside the cavity.
  • Rub the outside skin with olive oil.
  • Place turkey on a wire rack inside the roasting pan so that the juices are able to drain.
  • Cover the top of the bird loosely with foil. Place in oven. Remove foil after 1-2 hours depending on size of bird.
  • A meat thermometer inserted into the thigh should read 170°F (77°C) when the bird is done.
