Herbed Turkey
My version of thanksgiving or any time of year--i could eat turkey all year long.
Steps
Preheat the oven to 350f.
Mix together the garlic , rosemary , butter , salt and pepper.
Pull apart from the meat , the skin to create a pocket.
Push the herb mixture in between the skin and meat.
Press down on the skin if necessary to distribute the mixture as evenly as possible.
Spray the turkey with a non stick spray.
Cover turkey with foil and place in oven.
Bake approx 1 1 / 2 to 2 hours , or until meat thermometer reaches 185f.
Uncover and bake the turkey about 15 minutes or until the outside becomes a golden brown.
Pull out of oven and let sit about 15 minutes before carving.
