Time 2h10m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 -14 lbs whole turkey (totally thawed, tee-totally thawed)
6 -7 fresh sage leaves, rough chopped
5 -6 fresh thyme, stems
2 -3 springs rosemary
2 -3 springs oregano
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
1 -2 tablespoon coarse salt
1 -2 tablespoon pepper
3 stalks celery, rough chopped
1 large onion, rough chopped
1/2 cup butter, salted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450-degrees F.
  • Lay turkey in a roasting pan.
  • Remove leaves from herbs stems. Add sage, thyme, rosemary, and oregano to mayonnaise; combine well. Rub mayonnaise/herb mixture all over outside and interior of bird.
  • Liberally salt, and pepper turkey. Add the celery, and onion, inside and out, and tuck the butter in the cavity.
  • Roast turkey in 450-degrees F oven for 30 minutes. Then turn the oven down to 350-degrees F, and insert the meat thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh, being careful not to touch bone. Continue roasting, uncovered, until internal thermometer reaches 165-degrees F. Cover legs with foil partway through roasting if desired. Depending on size of turkey, total cook time will be around 1½-2 hours. Once the thermometer reaches 165-degrees F in the thigh, check the internal temperature of the thickest part of the breast to make sure it reads at least 165-degrees F as well.
  • Remove from oven. Cover loosely with foil and let rest for at least 20-30 minutes (depending on size) before carving.
  • Remember to reserve turkey drippings and juices for gravy.
