How to Make Herb Rubbed Turkey
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a small bowl, combine 2 tbsp dried sage, 1 tbsp dried thyme, 1 tbsp dried rosemary, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Mix well.
- Rinse the turkey thoroughly inside and out and pat it completely dry with paper towels. This is crucial for crispy skin!
- Rub half of the seasoning mixture into the turkey cavity. Then, rub the remaining seasoning mixture all over the turkey skin, ensuring even coverage.
- Tie the turkey legs together with kitchen twine. Place the turkey in a roasting pan.
- Roast the turkey, basting occasionally with pan drippings, until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165°F (74°C). Cooking time will vary depending on the size of your turkey; consult your turkey's packaging for specific recommendations. Expect approximately 3-4 hours for a 12-14 pound turkey, adding time for larger birds.
- Let the turkey rest for at least 20 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful turkey.
