whole turkey

🥗Healthier: chicken

💰Cheaper: turkey breast

Chicken is lower in fat, while turkey breast reduces cooking time.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil adds healthy fats and is often cheaper than butter.

fresh herbs

🥗Healthier: dried herbs

💰Cheaper: herb blend

Dried herbs still provide flavor at a lower cost.

chicken broth

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: water with seasonings

Vegetable broth is lighter and can be made from scraps.

1

Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).

2

Remove the turkey giblets and pat the turkey dry with paper towels.

3

Rub the turkey skin with softened butter, ensuring even coverage.

4

Season the turkey generously with salt and black pepper, both inside and out.

Stuff the cavity with onion, garlic, lemon, and fresh herbs.

6

Place the turkey on a roasting rack in a large roasting pan.

7

Add carrots, celery, and bay leaves to the pan around the turkey.

8

Pour chicken broth into the pan to keep the turkey moist during cooking.

9

Roast the turkey for approximately 13-15 minutes per pound, basting every hour.

Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer; it should reach 165°F (75°C) in the thickest part.

11

Remove the turkey from the oven and let it rest for at least 20 minutes before carving.

Carve the turkey and serve with pan juices.
