Apple & Herb Roasted Turkey Recipe
"My daughter loves to help me make this moist, herb roasted turkey. Her job is to hand Mommy the ingredients - if she doesn't eat them first!" Kimberly Jackson, Gay, Georgia
14 Servings
Prep: 20 min.
Bake: 3 hours + standing
Ingredients
1/4 cup minced fresh sage
1/4 cup minced fresh rosemary
1 turkey (14 pounds)
1 medium apple, quartered
1 medium onion, halved
1 celery rib, halved
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup apple jelly, warmed
Directions
Combine sage and rosemary. With fingers, carefully loosen skin from the turkey breast; rub herbs under the skin. Secure skin to underside of breast with toothpicks.
Place breast side up on a rack in a roasting pan. Stuff turkey with apple, onion and celery. Brush with butter.
Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 3 to 3-1/2 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 180°, basting occasionally with pan drippings. (Cover loosely with foil if turkey browns too quickly.) Brush with apple jelly. Cover and let stand for 15 minutes before removing toothpicks and carving. Yield: 14 servings.
