Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
6 Tbsp. chopped fresh sage
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 Tbsp. GREY POUPON Dijon Mustard
2 Tbsp. LEA & PERRINS Worcestershire Sauce
1 tsp. pepper
1 turkey (14 lb.), thawed if frozen
2 Tbsp. oil

Steps:

Heat oven to 325ºF.
Mix all ingredients except turkey and oil until blended.
Remove neck and giblets from turkey cavities; discard or reserve for another use. Pat turkey dry with paper towels. Free legs from tucked position. (Do not cut band of skin.) Gently loosen skin over breast, starting at body cavity opening by legs. Spread butter mixture onto meat under skin. Return legs to tucked position. Tuck wings under turkey.
Place turkey, breast side up, on rack in roasting pan; brush with oil.
Bake 3 hours 15 min. to 3 hours 45 min. or until done (165°F), covering breast loosely with foil to prevent overbrowning if necessary. Remove turkey from oven. Let stand 20 min. before carving.
