Directions
Herb Butter
- Combine all ingredients for herb butter and mix until combined. Set aside.
Assembly
- Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C).
- Rinse and pat turkey dry inside and out.
- Place in a roaster breast side up, tuck wings under bird.
- If stuffing bird, stuff both cavities.
- Tie legs together and skewer both cavities closed.
- Using a wooden spoon, carefully loosen the skin from the breast (careful not to tear it). Use the wooden spoon to help place ½ the butter mixture between the skin and breasts on both sides. Use your fingers to help move butter mixture evenly between skin and breast.
- Melt remaining half of herb butter mixture and spread evenly over entire turkey. Season with salt, pepper and paprika. Place individual sage leaves across top of turkey breast.
- Place prepared turkey in preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes uncovered.
- Baste turkey with drippings and reduce temperature to 325°F (162°C). Continue to cook covered for 2½ - 3 hours (baste every 30 - 40 minutes).
- Cook to an internal temperature of 165°F (74 °C). Uncover for the last 20 minutes of cooking for a crispier skin.
Tips & Variations
- Cooking time - average 20 minutes per pound.
- Stuffed birds will take an additional 30 - 60 minutes total time.
- Insert a meat thermometer into the dark meat portion. Check for an internal temperature of 165°F (74 °C). Be careful not to make contact with the bone.
