Time 5h

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup butter, softened
1 Tbsp. each chopped fresh basil, rosemary, sage and thyme
1 Tbsp. minced garlic
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
2 jars (12 oz. each) HEINZ HomeStyle Roasted Turkey Gravy, divided
2 pkg. (6 oz. each) STOVE TOP Stuffing Mix for Turkey
1 fresh turkey (10 lb.)
2 Tbsp. olive oil

Steps:

  • Mix butter, herbs, garlic and pepper in medium bowl until blended. Add 1/2 cup gravy; mix well. Refrigerate 1 hour.
  • Heat oven to 325°F. Prepare stuffing as directed on package; cool. Meanwhile, remove and discard neck and giblets from turkey cavities. Free legs from tucked position, but do not cut band of skin.
  • Separate the skin from the flesh by gently running your hand between the flesh and skin on the breast, going back toward the legs as far as you can, being careful not to tear or break apart the skin. Spread butter mixture both under the skin and onto outside of turkey.
  • Stuff neck and body cavities lightly with prepared stuffing. Spoon any remaining stuffing into separate baking dish sprayed with cooking spray; refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Truss turkey; place, breast side up, on rack in roasting pan sprayed with cooking spray.
  • Bake turkey 3 to 3-1/4 hours or until done (165°F), adding dish with remaining stuffing to oven for the last 30 min.
  • Remove turkey from oven. Pour 1 cup of the pan juices into medium saucepan. Stir in remaining gravy. Bring to boil, stirring frequently. Remove stuffing from turkey. Carve turkey. Serve turkey with stuffing and gravy.
