    Herb Roast Turkey

    List of Ingredients




    1 12 to 14 lb turkey
    1/2 cup rosemary sprigs -- fresh
    1/2 cup sage leaves -- fresh
    1 apple -- quartered
    1 stalk celery -- halved
    1 onion -- halved
    1/2 cup butter -- melted

    Recipe



    Remove giblets and neck from turkey; reserve for other uses, if desired. Rinse turkey with cold water and pat dry.

    Loosen skin from the turkey breast a bit, not totally detaching. Place rosemary and sage under skin then smooth skin over herbs and back into place.

    Place apple, celery and onion into the neck cavity. Place the turkey, breast side up, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan and brush with melted butter. Cover turkey loosely with a "tent" of aluminum foil.

    Bake at 325 degrees until meat thermometer registers about 180 degrees. This should take from 3 1/2 to 4 hours, but begin checking after 3 hours. Remove turkey and let stand 15 minutes before carving. Serve with gravy.
