Herb Rubbed Turkey

---

Oh sooo goood!! I found this recipe in the oct/nov 1996 issue of taste of home and this is now the only way i bake my turkey. The seasonings give the turkey such a wonderful flavor and the skin is nice and brown. It's well worth trying. Prep time is short but cooking time depends on the method you use to bake your turkey). Serving amounts are also estimated since that will depend on the size of turkey you cook.
