Cooking Instructions

• Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Remove giblets from turkey and pat the turkey dry with paper towels.
• In a small bowl, mix together softened butter, olive oil, salt, pepper, rosemary, and thyme.
• Rub the butter mixture all over the turkey, including under the skin. Stuff the cavity with onion, lemon halves, and garlic.
• Place the turkey breast side up on a rack in a large roasting pan. Tuck the wings under the body and tie the legs together with kitchen twine.
• Roast turkey in the preheated oven for 3 ½ to 4 hours, basting occasionally with pan juices, until a thermometer reads 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh.
• Remove turkey from oven, tent with foil, and let rest for 20-30 minutes before carving and serving.
